Require employers to reimburse staff for any extra costs of working from home

Closed 33 signatures

What the petition asks

Make companies reimburse the increased household bills of employees who normally do not have to work from home but have to now during this Covid-19 pandemic.
While it is not a situation that everyone would like to be in during this Covid-19 pandemic, people who work from home now have to pay the expenses themselves for their work, which is for the company. This can greatly increase the household bills while companies may have reduced bills due to empty offices. Any savings made by the companies should be transferred back to the employees as the employee's are doing the companies a favour by using their own resources to keep the things running.
