LEGAL MATTERS: Some legal implications of working from home

22

THE scourge of Covid 19 has forced businesses to find new and effective ways of working. With ever-tightening lockdown regulations being enunciated by government, employers need to find a way to work round the negative effects of the pandemic while remaining productive.
The most common adaptation that commerce has had to employ is working from home (WFH). While the change has been obligatory, there are some benefits that come with employing an effective working from home policy.

For instance, employers can expand their work force without being constrained by office space. Companies also save on overheads such as employee shuttle services, electricity and so on. These are just some of the perks of the working from home revolution.
