Many public servants breaking remote work rules, data shows​


Large numbers of public servants working in the federal government’s three biggest departments aren’t following Ottawa’s three-days-per-week office work rule, federal data shows.

The federal government’s latest remote work mandate, which took effect in early September, requires all staff employed under the Treasury Board to work on-site a minimum of three days a week. Executives are expected to work in the office four days a week.

The Canadian Press asked for compliance rates from a number of federal departments, including the three with the largest workforces — the Department of National Defence, the Canada Revenue Agency and Employment and Social Development Canada.

Of those three, Defence, which employs about 28,700 people, saw the lowest rate of compliance with the three-day rule, especially in the National Capital Region.

The department, known informally as DND, says its average rate of compliance with the three-day rule in January was 60 per cent — but just 31 per cent in December.


 
Wait, in a month when most people take chunks of annual leave, people are in the office less?

Ingrates should be coming in to the office when on leave to make up the numbers!

And 31 percent in Dec at DND? That’s funny that they haven’t put 2 and 2 together on that one…
 
The metric is badly flawed. If I go in to the office five days for three weeks, then one day in the fourth week, then my compliance is 75%.

Oh and they didn’t factor in away on training either. LOL.

The metric is a joke.
 
Only DND takes vacation at Christmas I guess hey.
One small example.

We have one civy in our armouries. She was told to work from home for the entire block leave period because no one could let her in and she’d be by herself.

I wonder what her compliance rate would be…
 
It's funny picturing DND employees just saying "no thanks " to following rules and their supervisors looking at each other dumbfounded.

Remember, we're a defense team. What's the fine for AWOL nowadays?
