My employer originally said we could work flexibly but is now saying we must work in the office or find a new job. Can they do that? Dr kirstinferguson tackles the return to the office in this week's Got a minute?
Each week, Dr Kirstin Ferguson tackles questions on the workplace, career and leadership in her advice column “
It’s worth seeing if other colleagues feel the same way and then try speaking to your boss or a leader you trust to see if there is a compromise position like hybrid working. Your boss isn’t going to be able to deal with lots of employees leaving at once and presumably you can also point to your high levels of productivity over the past two years while working from home. Every organisation is grappling with this issue at the moment and there are as many solutions as companies.
I’d recommend you get advice about your rights and entitlements as soon as you can. If you belong to a union, contact them and they will be able to advise you on what is in your workplace agreement since this should set out all of your entitlements. You will also be covered by an award so it would be worth speaking with someone at the Fair Work Ombudsman about your rights. They’ll be able to offer you advice on next steps in your specific situation.
