SL declares two weeks of WFH for govt staff

With transportation coming to a near standstill nation-wide due to fuel shortage, Sri Lanka on Friday declared ‘work from home’ (WFH) for government employees for the next two weeks.

The Ministry of Home Affairs issued a circular on Friday urging all government institutions to limit the number of employees and arrange for a two-week WFH programme starting next Monday.

However, ministry secretaries, heads of state departments and institutions have been empowered to decide on the minimum number of staff to ensure that public services continue uninterrupted.

All public sector employees have been requested to be available for work online, even if a roster is implemented for the functioning of public institutions, the circular stated.
