Asean Summit: HODs have discretion to approve WFH requests from public servants


PUTRAJAYA: Heads of departments (HODs) have been granted the authority to approve work-from-home (WFH) requests from civil servants living within a 25km radius of their offices, particularly those affected by anticipated traffic congestion during the upcoming Asean Summit at the end of this month.

"Eligible civil servants are encouraged to consult with their respective HODs for appropriate consideration. The implementation of this policy, however, must be based on existing procedures and conditions outlined in the prevailing regulations," read the statement by the Public Service Department on Monday (Oct 13).
