DESCRIPTION
In the aftermath of the pandemic, the nature of work has changed. Employees expect more flexibility. Working from home is no longer a special accommodation. Employees expect to work remotely, either all of the time or some of the time. Even employers that prefer or require in-person work are having to adapt workplace policies to reflect working-from-home. This program will review the changing landscape of employment law as more employees work from home:
- Revising employee handbooks to reflect flexible working schedules and remote work
- Online harassment and discrimination when working from home
- Security of work email, sensitive information, and files
- Tracking time worked and measuring productivity – does this work?
- “Hoteling” issues – when employees share office space on a rotating basis
