A methodology to calculate leave taken by public officials in the relief programme adopted during the Corona period was issued by the Home Affairs, Provincial Councils and Local Government Ministry yesterday (31).
The circular was issued on the instructions of Prime Minister Dinesh Gunawardena as the State Administration, Home Affairs, Provincial Councils and Local Government Minister by Ministry Secretary Priyantha Mayadunne.
Mayadunne observed, “In order to continue the public service during the COVID-19 pandemic, only essential public servants were called to workplaces, public officials were sent to the duty shift system, systems were prepared for working from home, public institutions were completely closed and pregnant and lactating mothers were not called for public service. Now the public service has gone back to normal. This circular will assist in calculating the leave taken by the state workers during the said period.”
