Hello Members
Please resolve my peculiar problem.
We are right now employing IT personal on weekly shift duties. That implies that any employee has a roaster wherein for 10 days he/she has to report to office and the balance he/she has the option of work from home.
Now there are a couple of employees who are requesting that they be given an option of Work from home even though they are due to report to work.
None of them have COVID but are pleading that if they report to work they are exposing there families and themselves to risk.
We have responded to them that the roaster cannot be changed and hence they have to report to work at the suggested workplace.
However there is now a talk to bring the policies of the company to the government authorities where these employees are trying to show that the company is forcing them to report to work.
Hence I would like to know if the company is doing any illegal action by requesting these employees to report to work and if so what options does the company and employee have.
Regards
Anuradha
