1. (a) All Civic Services offices were opened.
(b) None.
(c) Saturday, 1 July 2017.
2. (a) Organised Labour dispute regarding challenges with the shift system (implementation of new working hours) and demand for Saturday overtime remuneration.
2. (b) There was no budget allocated for Saturday services overtime remuneration, as officials were required to work a 5 day, 40 hour work week on a shift system that will allow those working on a Saturday, a day off during the following week. Such shift system would enable our offices to be open on Saturdays without a need for additional budget.
