Dress code for Govt. employees



The Ministry of Public Administration has made it compulsory for all female employees who work in government institutions, to wear a sari or an osari.  Male employees should wear a shirt and trousers, or national dress.

It said in its circular to ministry secretaries, provincial chief secretaries and department heads, to make sure that the provisions of circular 2121/1 issued on April 29, 2019 and 2123/4 issued on May 13, 2019 should be strictly adhered to.

The circular has also given guidelines for the dress code for officials and clients - adding that the clients who enter government offices for services should wear a dress which allows for clear recognition.

It said the employees who were provided with uniforms should wear the uniforms provided to them while on duty.  (Hiran Priyankara Jayasinghe)
