On Sunday 5th November 2017, several Immigration Officers stationed at the Providenciales Airport, reported that they were unwell and could not attend work. Management immediately took control of the situation and called on Immigration Officers from elsewhere in the Department to manage the entry of persons into the country. Officers from the Task Force, FBOs and an Officer from North Caicos responded to the call and were able to report to the Airport for duty before the arrival of International Flights thus avoiding disruption to the processing of passengers.
Management will further engage with staff who reported being unwell to determine the underlying cause of such action and will work speedily to resolve any and all challenges.
