My Department developed Guidance and FAQs on working arrangements and temporary assignments during COVID-19 for civil and public service employers. This Guidance and FAQs document has been continually updated to reflect public health and Government policy throughout the COVID-19 pandemic.
The FAQs have been prepared to assist employees and management in the Civil and Public Service to understand the process, rules and expectations associated with work arrangements during the COVID-19. For full details please see the link to the Guidance: www.gov.ie/en/news/092fff-update-on-working-arrangements-and-leave-associated-with-covid-19-fo/
The organisation referred to in the details supplied is a commercial state body which is a body under the remit of the Department of Transport, and as such it is a matter for that Department. As per the FAQS, individual employers will need to identify which employees fall into the category of public service employees.
