Question:
To ask the Minister of Finance and Personnel what guidance exists to quantify the distance that a person must travel to work to constitute an unreasonable offer of work from HR Connect.

Answer:

The policy in relation to Mobility for civil servants is set out in the NICS HR Handbook Section 1.02. (Copy attached) There is no precise definition of the distance a person must travel to work to constitute an unreasonable offer of work, as individual circumstances would be considered against the criteria set out in paragraph 1.4 of the policy.

A copy of the NICS HR Handbook section has been placed in the Assembly Library.
