INTRODUCTION

Departments in the Public Service have been asked to ensure that their business continuity planning includes the approach they will take in the event of a pandemic. This has led to a number of departments requesting State Services Commission (SSC) guidance on a number of pandemic-related issues. While this guidance is specifically intended for departments in the core Public Service, agencies in the wider State sector may wish to have regard to it when planning for pandemic issues.

This guidance is intended to address these queries, by providing information on:

overall principles
leave
alternative duties during a pandemic
workplace closure
