The work-at-home environment brings a lot of questions to the whole employer-employee relationship and work environment. For example, my wife works at a US government job where they have the ability to work from home 3 days a week and "liberal leave" for snow days. If someone is scheduled to work from home on a snow day, should they still work? What if their kids can't get to day care, and who will shovel the sidewalk?
- dredmorbius 13y agoSnow days or pre-arrange at-home work periods are not "off-the-clock". Working 9-5 and being expected to respond to a 10pm email is off-the-clock.
- dmethvin 13y agoIf it snows and you have kids at home, it's pretty hard to work. Especially if you have meetings.
- dredmorbius 13y agoFair point, though I'd argue that this is an independent issue from on vs. off the clock.
