Employee Rights When Working From Home | Legal Aid

Questioner

Ir/Madam, Work is taking place at our workplace. This means we cannot work Now the following is expected of us: The management would like to see colleagues who can work from home work from home and other colleagues from the area go to another office. This is not a problem but there are only 10 places available there and we are about 25 people... Or we have to take this morning off (submit leave hours) Is this allowed?

The employer is obliged to find you other work if this is not possible due to circumstances. in whatever way. However, he must then ensure that there are sufficient workplaces. If he does not do this and you are unable to work as a result, this is the employer's problem and he cannot hold the employee accountable for this. However, the employee must then report this to the employer. This must be made known to the employer in writing with the statement that if he does not ensure that there are sufficient workplaces, you as an employee cannot be blamed for not being able to work.
