Friday leave cancelled for State sector employees

August 2, 2022 at 11:08 AM

Cabinet approval has been granted to cancel the circular that was issued earlier on not operating government offices on Fridays. 

The circular has been cancelled with immediate effect after taking into consideration the normalizing of public transportation. 

Initially, the circular was issued due to the difficulties faced by state sector staff in reporting to work due to the existing fuel crisis. 

Cabinet spokesman Minister Bandula Gunawardena informed the Cabinet briefing today that state workers are to resume work on Fridays.

He further said that the decision has been taken after successful turnouts had been reported in Sri Lanka’s newly implemented QR system for fuel. (NewsWire)
