Work-from-home (WFH) arrangements are now being implemented by the Ministry of Civil Service for the whole of Government.

In a statement issued this evening, the Government stated this was to ensure civil servants were compliant with the COVID-19 measures enacted by the Fijian Government.

“The Fijian Government announced the Work-from-home Guidelines for Civil Servants on April 1, 2020, to establish physical distancing within the public sector workforce, in accordance with the country’s broader coronavirus containment campaign,” the statement said.

In the same statement, Attorney General Aiyaz Sayed-Khaiyum was quoted saying the scope to which Government roles were deemed “essential” would be prudently established.

He said this was to ensure that Fijians would see minimal disruptions to service delivery, while priority was placed on the health for both civil servants and the broader members of the public.

The Government has released the units from ministries and departments that will be working from home, and agencies and functions not mentioned will continue to operate from their respective offices.
