Recommendation on teleworking for public employees and employees

11/01/2021

The Ministry of Territorial Policy and Civil Service has sent an instruction, in view of the adverse weather situation caused by the 'Filomena' taskforce, in which it recommends that all ministerial departments and other public bodies should take the necessary measures to ensure that, in all the affected localities, public employees and employees of the General Government of the State (AGE) make use of telework on Monday 11 and Tuesday 12.

This instruction, from the General Secretariat of Public Service, is of general application except for those cases in which the in-person working formula is essential for the maintenance of essential public services to citizens.

The Ministry of Territorial Policy and Civil Service refers this instruction to the situation generated by the abundant snowfall produced in recent hours and the foreseeable difficulties for mobility in the coming days.

In principle, face-to-face activity will resume, if circumstances permit, on Wednesday, 13 January.
