Add Comment Question: I have 25+ years of service with my employer, with the last 20 of those working from home full time. There is a 3 day RTO mandate coming. For reasons such as loss of productivity, parental duties, commute time, workstation ergonomics/equipment, I am strongly opposed to returning to the office. What are my options? Can I refuse? Answer: My name is David Vaughan and I'm an employment lawyer with Samfiru Tumkarin. If you have worked from home for 20 years, it is almost certainly an implied term of your employment that the employer cannot force you to return to the office. Please contact our firm to review the matter in more detail and determine how we can assist you.
