Craig 6302 Posted July 14, 2022 Share Posted July 14, 2022 I've just been ordered to leave the office because I was 'working alone, in building with no air conditioning.' So instead, they agreed for me to be at home - working alone, in a building with no air conditioning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not explicitly, but they have a duty of care under DSE legislation to ensure your working environment, including home environments is fit for purpose. Hybrid working policies legally are a fucking nightmare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's literally your boss handing you a get out of work free card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What Craig said, but at least in the UK there is no maximum (or minimum) temperature specified for workplaces. The legislation uses the term “reasonable” and then it’s up to the specific company to justify their management of it, usually depending on the type of work done there and other mitigating factors. Not sure if legislation is different in NZ though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if legislation is different in NZ though It probably is different but thats not why I was asking, my interested in the idea that if you are allowed to work from home that the company actually has some stake in the state of your house.
