On
Monday, the Emirates News Agency (WAM) announced that probation staff and
others who need to be physically present at their offices for work would not be
part of the e-work scheme.

There
are two ways of working remotely. The first requires employees to work 100 %
from outside the office. The second uses a partial remote working system, in
which staff report on a regular, weekly, or monthly basis to the workplace. The
choice to choose the remote system that works best for them has been given to
each government agency.

The system will allow workers, if necessary, to work remotely from outside the country, at the sole discretion of the competent government authorities.

The
change seeks to develop a system that guarantees business continuity and the
availability of government services at all times. All government authorities
will need to draft a report on the consistency of the framework with the nature
of their job, functionality, work responsibilities, and services.

Federal and local government agencies had shut down offices to curtail the spread of the virus when the Covid-19 pandemic struck but managed to provide online services effectively. They also reopened most of the offices.
