Bangladesh Bank yesterday asked banks to run operations with 50 per cent of their workforce until February 6 by introducing alternate-day duty rosters immediately in order to tackle the third wave of the coronavirus pandemic.
However, banks can also decide for themselves the number of employees they will have in place to run essential banking services, said the banking regulator.
This means banks are allowed to run special banking operations by deploying more than 50 per cent of their employees.
The employees will have to stay in their respective residences when they do not have to attend work in person when following the alternate-day rosters and can work through virtual platforms, according to a central bank notice.
Clients will have to wear face masks on a mandatory basis while taking service from banks.
