Civil service employees granted 30-minute arrival buffer
The regulation also states that reporting times cannot be adjusted beyond the 30-minute buffer period under any circumstances.
The Civil Service Commission has amended the Civil Service General Regulations to introduce a 30-minute grace period for employees who are unable to arrive at work on time due to unforeseen circumstances.
The amendment, approved on Thursday, establishes a buffer period that allows employees to adjust their reporting time without obtaining prior approval, provided they arrive within 30 minutes of the official start of their shift.
Under the new regulation:
-
Employees may arrive up to 30 minutes after the official start of their working hours.
-
Employees who use the buffer period must submit the reason for their late arrival to their human resources section.
-
Employees arriving after the 30-minute period will be recorded as late.
The regulation states that the time used during the morning buffer period must be added to the end of the employee's working day to ensure that the required number of working hours is completed.
For example, if an employee's official working hours begin at 8:00 a.m. and the employee arrives at 8:15 a.m. using the buffer period, the employee's working day will end at 2:15 p.m. instead of the normal finishing time.
The regulation also states that reporting times cannot be adjusted beyond the 30-minute buffer period under any circumstances.
