The Government of Pakistan is considering a proposal to reduce federal expenses by introducing a work-from-home model for federal offices in Punjab.
Under the proposed plan, employees would work in the office only two days a week, with the remaining days worked remotely. Staff would be divided into two groups, with each group reporting to the office on alternate days under a rotational system.
According to the proposal, 50 percent of employees would be present in offices during the first two days of the week, while the remaining half would attend during the next two days, working from home for the rest of the week.
The plan also includes closing government offices on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, effectively introducing a four-day workweek.
Officials say the proposal aims to reduce operational costs, conserve energy, and improve overall efficiency across government departments.
