General Scheme of the Right to Request Remote Work Bill 2022: Discussion (Resumed)
Matt Shanahan (Waterford, Independent) | Oireachtas source
I might return to the issue of employers restructuring and re-organising in the context of remote working. Where an employer has agreed to accommodating remote working for an employee and, subsequently, has a need for sick cover or maternity leave cover, how would that be dealt with? If I have given someone a contract that allows him or her to work for home and I am now stuck for cover in the office, where normally I would be able to delegate someone to do that and where I want the person who is working at home to come back to the office, where do I stand as an employer?
