Will home working become the new norm post Covid-19?

A Jersey employment lawyer has told ITV News he thinks it will be difficult for employers to refuse applications from their staff wishing to work from home beyond Covid-19. For many people, working from home over the last few weeks has been a positive experience. Employers too have seen that this could form part of a new norm. Legally, we can ask to work from home. Jersey's employment law states that employees can apply for a change in their working conditions, including their place of work. The reasons for refusing such a request are fairly limited, and employers would have to show that working from home would either create additional cost or have a detrimental impact on their business.
