Workers could get legal right to work from home after coronavirus lockdown is lifted
Reading now: 175
Workers could be given the legal right to work from home after the coronavirus lockdown is eased. The proposal, which reportedly has the support of government ministers, would mean companies could only refuse an employee's request to work from home if their duties can only be done in the workplace.
Enshrining in law the right to work from home would mean staff cannot be forced to return to the office after lockdown but can continue to work remotely, the Telegraph reports.
It is hoped this would also make it easier for office workers to practise social distancing due to reduced numbers, as the UK continues to take precautions to prevent a second outbreak of the killer virus.
