Is Working From Home Becoming a Thing of the Past?
The COVID19 pandemic changed the previously held perception that employees needed to be physically present in the company’s office in order to do their jobs. Huge numbers of employees started working from home during the pandemic, and many have simply never gone back.
Esther Marshall, Member, Solicitor and specialist in Employment Law, said:
“The best way to ensure that issues around working from home don’t become contentious is firstly to be clear in the contract of employment where the employee is expected to work. Clear Home Working and/or Hybrid Working policies can also help to make sure that everyone knows where they stand, and that arrangements can been changed if the employer requires.”
