The federal government has prepared new recommendations to reduce expenditure, under which a work-from-home model is being readied for federal offices in Punjab.
Sources divulged it has been proposed that federal employees attend offices only two days a week, while working from home on the remaining days. Under the recommendations, 50 per cent of staff will attend offices during the first two days, while the remaining 50 per cent will attend during the next two days. The first group will work from home on other days, while the second group will ensure attendance during the following two days.
The proposal further states that Friday, Saturday and Sunday will be observed as holidays, and government offices will remain open for only four days a week.
Sources said the measure aims to reduce government expenditure, conserve energy, and improve efficiency in the system.
