Work from home arrangements under microscope after worker dismissed
The Employment Relations Authority has found a worker wasn't unjustifiably disadvantaged or constructively dismissed after he was ordered back into the office three days a week, when he'd been working from home four out of five days. The Employment Relations Authority said there was no permanent arrangement so no duty to continue it. Meanwhile the PSA is still waiting for an Employment Relations Authority hearing over the government's directive that work from home for public servants is not a right and should not compromise performance. Employment Lawyer at Anderson Lloyd, James Cowan spoke to Lisa Owen.
