Q. I currently work from home as per employer instruction. Can they force me to return to work during the epidemic?

May 4, 2020

A: If you can effectively work from home and your employer instructs you to return to work and you reasonably believe that this places your health in jeopardy, I would recommend that you request the reasonable accommodation of continued work at home or telecommunting.

Whether your employer has to grant your reasonable accommodation or can terminate your employment for failure to return will depend on a number of factors such timing, size of employer, functions that you perform, and other facts not clear from your question.

I would recommend that you contact a qualified attorney in employment law, many will provide a free initial consultation.

Good luck and stay safe.
