The Minister of Municipality, Fahd Al-Shula, revealed that the shift allowance given to inspectors of the Hygiene and Safety Departments will be suspended for further study following reports some workers in the two departments did not work to their full potential.
The Municipality sources stressed that the incentives must be paid to those who deserve, meaning those who work hard to maintain the cleanliness of the areas under their jurisdiction and keeps tap on those who trespass on government land.
During a tour, Al-Shula stressed the necessity of preserving the secrecy of important plans and reorganizing the surveying department by eliminating any defect saying: “Any employee who does not have a trust walks.”
On the other hand, Al-Shula has issued a ministerial circular on procedures for disabling access to information technology resources after the termination of the service of a public employee for any reason or his transfer to another party.
He said that if the employee’s service is terminated for any of the reasons mentioned in the Civil Service Law, the first consequence is the severance of the functional relationship between the employee and the government agency to which he is affiliated, which necessitates that the terminated employee may not access or exploit the information technology resources of the entity he used to work for in any manner.
The circular called for following several measures to preserve the security and confidentiality of information, including:
— The government agency represented by its competent department, upon termination of the service of the public employee or his transfer abroad, shall inform his immediate manager and the concerned department with a copy of the administrative decision to revoke the powers granted to the employee and prevent unauthorized access to sensitive information and automated systems.
— Retrieving personal and organizational covenants, if any, and retrieving computers and peripheral devices and disabling access to them, and retrieving the parking entry card and the smart card.
— Stopping the employee’s attendance, while keeping a copy of his data from the date of his appointment until the date of termination of his services.
— Clearing the information of the government entity from any devices owned by employees whose services have been terminated or transferred, and which were used to access the entity’s data.
— Termination of access to all digital services (e-mail, internal electronic messaging system, etc.), by the concerned department, while keeping a copy in the archive.
— Immediately report of any potential breach to the government agency.
