Aug 14, 2026

Upload by Eliana

The government has approved a Hybrid Working Day initiative for civil servants, effective from 1 August, shifting from the previous Work From Home arrangement while keeping total duty hours intact. Civil servants may work from home or approved alternative locations for two days, then spend three days at the office. Specific office days are set based on weekly rest-day patterns, with digital monitoring to protect service integrity, performance, and delivery. Guidelines will be issued and essential public-facing roles will continue operating normally.
