Will working from home directive be lifted with CMCO?

Question

Accepted Answer

The Work From Home Directive Remains in Force Amidst CMCO Implementation

The directive for employees to work from home (WFH) is currently still in effect, despite the upcoming transition from movement control order (MCO) to conditional movement control order (CMCO) in several states starting March 5. Official reports from the Ministry of International Trade and Industry (Miti) and the Public Service Department director-general have not indicated any immediate changes to the WFH directive.
Current Status of the WFH Directive

As of the current reporting, the existing work from home directive remains active. This is because no official reports or recommendations have been submitted by either the Ministry of International Trade and Industry or the director-general of the Public Service Department to alter this policy. Senior Minister (Security Cluster) Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob confirmed that the directive is still in force until further notice.
Upcoming Discussion on WFH Policy

A future meeting is scheduled to deliberate on the necessity of maintaining the work from home directive. This discussion will determine whether the current WFH arrangement needs to be continued or if employees will be permitted to resume working from their offices. The outcome of this deliberation will shape the future of workplace arrangements in light of the evolving movement control status.
Transition to CMCO

The broader movement control status is set to change in various states, with the MCO being replaced by the CMCO beginning March 5. This shift signifies a relaxation of certain restrictions, but it does not automatically equate to the lifting of the specific work from home directive for all sectors. The continuation of the WFH policy is being considered separately from the general MCO to CMCO transition.
