INDUSTRIES and certain service providers that operate in a number of shifts will be allowed to continue operations during the curfew period.

This was highlighted in a Government statement issued today.

However, all businesses will need to ensure all staff who are required to work during curfew hours carry the following:

(i)            Company Photo ID cards, in the absence of company ID, the staff will need to carry a valid National photo ID, such as Voter ID, Joint ID or Driver’s License;

(ii)           Letter on company letterhead issued to staff that they are required to work during that specific time; and

(iii)          National Contact Centre telephone contact (where applicable) to verify the claims of the staff. Where there is no contact centre, a contact officer should be identified and contact details provided.

The contracted service provider, that is, taxi or bus operator, or port service providers, such as tug operators or line port service providers, to name a few, should be provided with the following:

(i)            A letter from the contracting company on company letterhead that they are service providers for the company and are required to work during the curfew period; and

(iv)          National Contact Centre telephone contact (where applicable) to verify the claims. Where there is no contact centre, a contact officer should be identified and contact details provided.

These measures are in place to enable business to continue without any disruptions.
