As businesses which have been operating remotely (in whole or in part) during the pandemic make plans to return their workforce to their facilities, owners should closely monitor and review the rules and recommendations issued by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and the CDC concerning in-person business operations.
Further, employers which anticipate continuing to allow certain employees to work remotely, and/or receiving requests from employees for permission to continue to work remotely, should consider implementing a remote work policy which sets forth any eligibility requirements employees must satisfy in order to work from home, as well as any rules/procedures with which employees must comply while working from home.
