Policy Update

The Ministry of Labor announces updated chargeability requirements effective from the start of next quarter. All citizens in employment must review and comply with the following changes:

Key changes

• Minimum target increased: The minimum acceptable chargeability rate rises from 85% to 90%
• Real-time monitoring: Chargeability rates will now be assessed in real-time daily (previously weekly). Citizens falling below target mid-day will receive automated alerts
• Break time recording: All breaks exceeding 10 minutes must now be recorded in UtiliTrack with a non-billable WBS code
• Travel time: Commute time between registered home address and primary workplace is no longer eligible for any WBS code allocation
• Meeting chargeability: Meetings with more than 5 attendees must now have a designated chargeability justification approved by a senior manager

Transition period

A 30-day grace period will apply from the start of the quarter. During this period, the previous 85% minimum will remain in effect while citizens and managers adjust to the new requirements.
