State of Emergency Protocol – Civil Service

The NSGEU reached an agreement with the Public Service Commission which protects the rights and benefits of our members working within the Civil Service when they voluntarily agree to work outside the civil service should it become necessary during a state of emergency like the one we have been experiencing with the COVID-19 pandemic.

GUIDING PRINCIPLES:

The purpose of this Protocol is to establish a foundation for the sharing of human resources with employer entities outside the civil service, should it become necessary during the circumstances of the COVID-19 state of emergency. It is expressly recognized that participants in any necessary pandemic response under this Protocol require as much information as can reasonably be provided so they may make informed decisions about their safety. The parties agree that in formulating this agreement, the health, safety, and well being of the public and of those responding to assist are fundamental.
