Stop employers forcing working in the office for non-essential workers.
In Tier 3/4 areas and higher, at the moment employers can force employees to work in offices even in cases where employees can work from home, this can cause transmission of the virus to a large amount of people.
We need to control the spread of the virus, many employees are being forced to work in offices despite the governments advice to work from home, this is causing the spread of the virus among office employees. This should only apply to non-essential roles such as office workers where the employees can easily work from home.
