Some prominent U.S. companies are being sued by remote workers alleging that their employers had a legal obligation under state law to reimburse them for work-related expenses.
The issue of paying for remote workers' expenses, whether because of legal obligations or as a way to attract and keep talent in a tight labor market, isn't going away as the pandemic recedes, even as some big-name employers, such as Tesla, demand that employees return to the worksite. According to new research by the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM) Research, 48 percent of about 1,700 surveyed workers in the U.S. said they will "definitely" seek a remote position for their next job.
"Close to a quarter of respondents currently working in an onsite position say that they definitely want a remote role in the future," said Mark Smith, Ph.D., SHRM's director of HR thought leadership.
