The company can never force you into it. I'm guessing in most cases where the employer forces the issue they'll send an email telling you that "the offices are now open and you are expected to return to working at the office starting on date X" without telling you anything else. No "or else" and when people push the issue they'll be reminded that they work 'at will' and are welcome to leave at any time. lol.

This is one of those grey zones I was thinking of => if the boss/employer wouldn't have a valid reason not to allow its employees to work remotely (e.g. because s/he doesn't trust them and therefore wants to supervise them personally), such a "push" could be considered irresponsible?
- R0b0t1 6y agoAn interesting conversation I saw elsewhere was about whether you could request accommodation under the ADA if you are at-risk or someone you are in close contact with is at-risk. It seems the answer is yes, but in your communication with your employer you will need to specifically mention accommodations and the ADA to be safe.
- kayodelycaon 6y agoADA does not require accommodations or ADA be mentioned, only that a request must be made. Once made, ADA applies. As far as remote work, if the company has any remote employees in any position similar to yours, they will have an extremely difficult time justifying in person being a job requirement. https://www.eeoc.gov/laws/guidance/enforcement-guidance-reasonable-accommodation-and-undue-hardship-under-ada#requesting https://www.eeoc.gov/laws/guidance/enforcement-guidance-reas...
