“Managers know who is a high performer and who is not—it’s not a secret.   If you have people that you’re afraid if they’re working out of your sight, then they aren’t getting work done, why are they working for you in the first place?  That’s not a ‘work remotely’ problem. That’s a management problem.”

Sixth Circuit Rules Telecommuting may be a Reasonable Accommodation – Employee Benefit News

/ SupremeCmdr / Leave a comment

Sixth Circuit rules that telecommuting may be a reasonable accommodation – Articles – Employee Benefit News.

Under this precedent, an employer may be required to grant some degree of telecommuting as a reasonable accommodation. However, employers still may require regular attendance during regular working hours, even if that attendance is via telecommuting

The article notes the employee was terminated and had a history of irritable bowel syndrome.  Now this whole work from home thing is getting real interesting.
