Wage and hour laws also remain in place while employees work from home. While tax law varies by state, this may mean you need to comply with an expanded number of jurisdictions based on where your employees currently reside. The freedom to work from anywhere prompted more than one in 10 Americans to move over the past year – many of whom moved out of state. With that in mind, here are five work-from-home risks to consider addressing in a more proactive, permanent, and strategic way: 1. It’s safe to say that most organizations will have at least some employees working remotely for the foreseeable future. While 64% plan to bring employees back to the office this year, about one in five of those will do so in a hybrid capacity. More than a year later and about two-thirds of organizations are still fully remote. However, many of the mitigations put in place were designed to be temporary fixes rather than long-term solutions. The most pressing risks – like IT security and remote accessibility – were quickly addressed.
Businesses were exposed to new and expanded risks when employees abruptly began working from home last year.
