Work from home in CA for $14K a month? See 10 state jobs with hybrid schedules
Ready to make your next career move?
Several California state jobs allow employees to work from home.
Even though Gov. Gavin Newsom’s return-to-office order took effect in July, many state workers can continue working remotely.
The plan to bring most employees back to the office four days a week was delayed by a year for those covered under new union agreements.
After reopening negotiations, Newsom and public employee unions reached deals extending remote work options for many staff, managers and supervisors through June 2026.
As of Thursday, Oct. 9, the state was hiring for several full-time positions that include remote work and hybrid schedule options.
State jobs are known for offering competitive benefits and enrollment in the nation’s largest state public pension plan.
Many of the following jobs have specific requirements, which are linked below.
As of Thursday, Oct. 9, these were some of the latest available state jobs with telework and hybrid options on the CalCareers website:
