PAY Civil servants who work from home and refuse to return to office should take PAY CUT, minister warns
CIVIL servants who work from home and refuse to come back to the office should have their wages slashed, a minister has warned.
"If people aren't going into work, they don't deserve the terms and conditions they get if they are going into work." "There is suspicion that some people have spent the last 15 months working from home but haven't actually been doing very much." The Department of Health and Social Care has reportedly abandoned plans for its civil servants to be back at their desks between four and eight days a month from September.
Tory grandee Sir Iain Duncan Smith said last night: "Civil servants need to get off their backsides and into the office and they need to do it pretty quickly."
