Hey everyone, I wanted to start a discussion on something that most Indian employers are completely overlooking — the legal side of Work From Home. Since 2020, WFH has become a permanent model for many companies in India. But here is the thing — most employers are still running remote teams without understanding their actual legal obligations. This can lead to serious compliance issues down the line. Some key questions that every employer should be asking:
Are WFH employees covered under the Shops & Establishment Act? What are the data privacy rules for remote workers? Is there any fixed policy on work hours for WFH employees? What about employee benefits for remote workers? How should employers handle equipment reimbursements legally?
