KINGSTON, Jamaica — Chairman of Parliament’s Economy and Production Committee, Alando Terrelonge, has announced that the committee will undertake a comprehensive review of flexible work hours and work-from-home policies as energy prices continue to fluctuate due to ongoing geopolitical tensions.

In a statement on Thursday, Terrelonge said the review comes as part of ongoing efforts to identify practical measures to enhance productivity, strengthen economic resilience and improve the quality of life of Jamaicans.

It notably comes against the backdrop of increasing global economic uncertainty, geopolitical instability, including the US/Israel war against Iran, and rising fuel prices, all of which continue to place pressure on businesses, workers and national economies.
