Working from home

[BLUETIT]

It's a long way to carry the bricks.

Being serious, shirley it would be a legal nightmare.

Shirley you'd have to have "Public Liability" insurance

Why? I work from home at the moment but don't let the public in.

I can't spell hyperphical, but :------ if you are logged on to work from home and say you go to make a cup of tea and fall down stairs, who is liable ?
You or your firm you are working for.

Your house burns down, from a fire caused by your firms computer, who is liable.

Your children accidentally read confidential information off your firms computer and disclose it. Who is liable

Working from home is not all it made out to be.

Wait till you have a fire or break in, will your HOME insurance cover it, as it;s now a workplace.

All very good points. Some people can obviously see the flexibility and freedom of home working, but working conditions, liability etc need to be addressed as some Companies may see it as a way of putting more liability on the worker. Plenty needs looking into before Home working is rolled out.
