There are no 'unemployed public servants' - if their section is closed: they are expected to work from home or be deployed to other departments. AFAIK they are all to be paid as normal.
Public servants are unemployed if they are not working from home or have not been redeployed.
And working from home means for their contracted hours, which needs to be monitored and verified.
Do you now understand what this means?What about if they are doing their jobs? Your posts make little sense. As QC had told you already there are no 'unemployed public servants'.
Certain jobs cannot be done from home such as those done by library and museum staff. Libraries were amongst the list of closures announced yesterday yet my local library has been closed for two weeks.
Public servants are unemployed if they are not working from home or have not been redeployed.

I'm just looking out for working people. I can understand why the trade unionists are upset by that.The Purple Virus (far deadlier than Covid-19) is spreading. Can we go into immediate Lockdown?

That's great. The OP was asking about public servants who were unable to work from home. I'm sure many can.Thanks.
I'm up since 6.40 a.m. putting stuff up for the pupils in my class. I hate sweeping statements of condemnation about the Public Service.
And I'm still here, answering questions, clarifying learning outcomes and generally reassuring my pupils.
What was there to do? There should not be any "behind the scenes" work in the public sector apart from in the interests of national securityFor the first week or so she was still in the library working behind the scenes and she has now been redeployed to contact tracing for the HSE.
I don't know about any other individual cases but I would imagine a lot of people would be redeployed to either the HSE or social welfare.
Contact tracing is important work and I'd imagine librarians would be ideally suited to the work, in as much as anyone is.What was there to do? There should not be any "behind the scenes" work in the public sector apart from in the interests of national security
They are not unemployed - just temporarily removed from their work location due to a serious health hazard.
Can I ask why are you so concerned about this?
I'm referring to the poster stating their sister was working behind the scenes in the library before being redeployed to the HSEContact tracing is important work and I'd imagine librarians would be ideally suited to the work, in as much as anyone is.
As no Public Sector workers are unemployed then the question is irrelevant.
Surely we have bigger things to worry about at this juncture than engaging in non factual based speculation.
Thanks.
