Introduce a legal right to work from home
In view of the huge increase in home working as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic, we call on the Goverment to amend the Working Time Regulations 1998 to include all work performed from home; at present working from home voluntarily is not normally considered 'working time' under the regulations
Working from home has significant social, economic & environmental benefits. These include less costs for employers, increased efficiency & work/life balance for employees & major environmental benefits, less traffic, air pollutuon, carbon emissions. Germany & Finland have now enshrined home working in law. Over 47% working populaton been working from home during lockdown & Goverment accepts this has reduced spread of covid-19. Home working is here to stay & should be embraced by Government
