Civil servant accused of juggling five government jobs for £350,000

Original: NEW: A civil servant allegedly used remote working and sick notes to juggle five Government jobs earning almost £350,000

Civil servant Kashim Chowdhury is alleged to have held five Government jobs at once, earning nearly £350,000 while working remotely. He was reportedly contracted for 183 hours a week, more than the 168 hours that exist, using sick notes to manage the overlaps. The case has sparked anger in Britain over remote-working oversight and civil service accountability, with calls for stricter checks on second jobs in government roles.

Why now: The sheer implausibility of working 183 contracted hours a week across five jobs has made the story a lightning rod for debate about remote working and public sector accountability.
