Employees whose contracts of employment provide that their place of work is the employer’s premises are unlikely to have an automatic legal right to continue to work from home, either some or all of the time.
For employees who have worked at home throughout the pandemic while the Government guidance to work from home if possible has been in place, there will have been no change to their contract. Their remote working was a temporary arrangement based on applicable health and safety guidance; legally, their place of work would still be the employer’s premises.
