Hundreds of employees at the former Miami-Dade Police Department will soon lose their ability to work from home, as the county’s new sheriff orders them back into the office next month.
The directive by Sheriff Rosie Cordero-Stutz has no impact on deputies whose patrol duties don’t allow for working from home but could mean big changes for some of the roughly 1,000 civilian employees in the 4,500-person Sheriff’s Office, the Miami Herald reports.
“Employees must report back to the office full time by February 3, 2025, unless they have an approved reasonable accommodation under the [American Disabilities Act],” Cordero-Stutz wrote in an agency-wide email on Tuesday, her first day as sheriff. “The goal is to call all staff back to the office in order to fully and appropriately assess operational and staffing needs.”
