Staffing of the operations of the capital region's municipalities on
\nEmergency level
\u2013 activation of a provision in the law on civil protection<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Civil Protection Committee of the Capital Region has decided that
\nto activate provisions in the law on civil protection to ensure that services
\nthe municipalities in the capital region remain intact during the state of emergency
\nis suspended due to COVID-19. The municipalities in the capital region are; Reykjav\u00edk,
\nK\u00f3pavogur, Hafnarfj\u00f6r\u00f0ur, Gar\u00f0ab\u00e6r, Seltjarnarnes and Mosfellsb\u00e6r. The locations of these
\nlocal authorities are facing care challenges due to the pandemic, both because of
\nsick leave or absence of staff who are temporarily in quarantine.<\/p>\n

It is clear that certain
\nServices within the municipalities must be maintained and therefore
\nit is necessary to staff positions within these service units. To ensure that
\nthat this operation is equipped to deal with the situation that could arise
\nIn the coming days, the use of it needs to be activated.
\na temporary provision in the law on civil protection which was adopted on
\n30th March and discusses The civil duty of public sector employees. <\/strong><\/p>\n<\/p>\n

The legal provision is as follows: <\/strong><\/h4>\n

It is the civic duty of public sector employees to perform their duties in
\nacceptance of civil protection at a time of danger. Public authorities are permitted to entrust
\ntemporarily changing the duties of staff and transferring staff
\ntemporarily between workplaces and public bodies to carry out tasks that
\nhave priority in an emergency. Employees will maintain their unchanged pay and conditions under such circumstances.
\ncircumstances. However, an employee is exempt from the above-mentioned duty if their state of health
\nof him, or another person for whom he is responsible, such that his safety
\nand that health is placed in particular danger by entrusting him with such duties.
\nof staff. This provision shall cease to have effect on 1.
\nJanuary 2021. <\/em><\/p>\n

This means that the local authorities in the capital region are
\npermitted to assign employees temporarily altered job duties<\/strong> and move
\nStaff temporarily between sites to carry out the tasks that have
\nPriority in a moment of danger. <\/strong>Employees will maintain their current pay and conditions, except in those cases
\nin cases where they take on work that is generally paid higher wages
\nfor or if the contribution of labour exceeds the normal obligation to work. This authorisation is
\nValid only while a civil contingency emergency level is in effect. <\/p>\n

Examples that may fall under this legal provision:<\/h4>\n<\/p>\n
    \n
  • In light of the fact that sports facilities, swimming pools and
    \nCultural institutions have closed, as that workforce can be utilised for priority tasks.
    \ne.g. in the field of social welfare services or education. <\/li>\n
  • It is possible to hide from teachers that they are teaching at other times.
    \nbut a work report indicates or change teaching to distance teaching. Only are
    \nAdditional payments are made if the workload increases. <\/li>\n
  • If day care for the elderly or disabled closes, it is possible
    \nto utilise those employees to provide home care within
    \nof the welfare service. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    It is important that managers exercise moderation if they are to
    \nto make use of this authority and not to go further than is necessary. Desirable
    \nthat all decisions on changes are taken in as good cooperation with
    \nemployees and possible. Also, it should be borne in mind that an employee is exempt
    \nthe aforementioned duty is his health, or that of another individual for whom he is responsible
    \nresponsible for, in such a way that his safety and health are placed in particular danger by
    \nto entrust him with such duties.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
