Homeworking Policy - what happens if employee moves?

Hi there,

If an employee works from home and moves houses and the new house is deemed unsuitable for homeworking, CIPD states homeworking would be removed and they work in the office.

BUT what was to happen if organisation is completely remote and the new house is not suitable for home working, what do you do then?

Thanks,

Parents
  • If you can prove that they do not have a suitable place to work effectively then you would ultimately dismiss them following a fair process (I assume contractually they are a home worker). But I am not aware of anyone who has got there yet. You would also as part of that process look at other options.

    And who says its isn't a suitable place to work?

    That's what I was wondering, too Keith. 

    I'm very aware that there will be perhaps 10-15% of people who have genuinely had a really hard time WFH during the pandemic - especially those sharing a flat or house.
