Pre-covid our department was 3 days at the office and 2 days work from home hybrid model. After covid the company moved to this model but effective Oct they are mandating 4 days at the office 1 day work from home. Do employees need to comply? Can we get fired for continuing 3-2 hybrid model?

Thank you for your question. Yes, you may be fired for not complying with your employer’s request to work in office 4 days per week, although depending on the circumstances and the reason why you wish to continue working from home 2 days per week, you may be able to keep the same schedule or alternatively, you would still potentially be owed severance if terminated. Before you speak with your employer or accept the changes, it is importantly you speak with one of our employment lawyers as soon as possible. Please feel free to contact us at the number below.
