Most of Gov employees are asked to work from home, including my department, for indefinite period no timeline yet. If an employee needs to be present in the office and deemed essential, they can go to work. I am pretty sure they all or some work from home.
The real questions , 1. Do they work on paper based applications received AOR, should have digital copied in the system.?
2. Do they need to be in the office to process the paper based applications already received AOR ?
Even if they open, they are not going to allow all employees to work together., More than 50% of employees in the Gov are 50 or more years old. They are not going to risk their life to process our applications. We hope they all get necessary arrangements to work from home such as laptops, two monitors, secured VPN connection, so on..
