The decision concerns approximately 11,000 employees. This is the first time in a long time that war placement is being carried out within the Prison and Probation Service, the agency writes in a press release.
"The employees who are now being war-placed will be placed in their basic position, in order to perform tasks they are accustomed to and perform on a daily basis in the event of war," says HR Director Lena Hadad.
According to the law, no more people should be war-placed than necessary to operate the activities planned in the event of war. Those who are not war-placed should instead be able to contribute in other ways within total defense.
Therefore, not all employees are being war-placed at this time.
"In this first round, we are war-placing the positions that we see a clear need for in order to operate the Prison and Probation Service's war organization. Over time, we expect to need to war-place more as the analysis of the war organization continues," says Hadad.
