The banking watchdog has ordered banks to immediately introduce alternate duty roster for its workforce in order to tackle the second wave of the coronavirus pandemic.
Although the central bank has not given any clear induction on how many employees will attend the offices, it has asked to fix the number as per their requirement.
Bangladesh Bank issued a notice on Wednesday to this end as per guidelines of the Prime Minister’s Office.
For instance, it will be tough for banks to run small branches with 50 per cent of their employees where 8-10 persons usually operate the whole office, a central bank official explained.
But, the large branches can decrease 50 per cent of their employees easily, he said.
