Some federal authorities staff will be capable to proceed distant work for one more yr, as most face a March 31 deadline to return to the workplace not less than two days every week.
A spokesperson for Treasury Board President Mona Fortier says the federal government will take one other yr to “assess the benefits” of distant work for name centres on the Canada Revenue Agency and the departments of Immigration and Employment and Social Development.

The Procurement Department’s pay centre can even make money working from home for one more yr, together with adjudicators for the Immigration and Refugee Board.
In December, Fortier introduced that each one departments can be mandated again to the workplace not less than two days every week to deal with inconsistencies throughout the general public service.
A union representing over 72,000 public servants says they’ve been instructed the extensions have been wanted due to retention and recruitment points.
The president of the Professional Institute of the Public Service of Canada says that is solely resulting in extra chaos across the already contentious challenge.
