The CGFP is against the home office regulation proposed by the Ministry of the Civil Service. This was announced by the trade union’s national committee in a press release on Tuesday afternoon.
The CGFP argues that in order to better support patchwork families, telework should be possible from multiple locations. The Ministry, on the other hand, wants to limit telework to a person’s primary residence. The Ministry is also against setting a general guideline on how many days a civil servant would be allowed to work remotely. However, such a guideline would be important to “prevent social isolation,” according to the CGFP.
In certain cases, the Ministry also wants to make it possible to repeal the right to disconnect, another proposal which the CGFP argues is “out of the question”. However, the trade union laments that Minister for the Civil Service Marc Hansen has already made it clear that “he doesn’t care” whether the CGFP approves the proposed regulation on working from home. There are also still disagreements regarding the evaluation system, the trade union adds.
