Working from home back on agenda

There’s support for people who fear being on campus

Chief Medical Officer Paul Kelly  issued a statement Monday including, “employers should review their occupational health and safety risks and mitigations, and their business continuity plans. They should consider the feasibility of some employees working from home, wearing masks in the workplace and support employees to take leave when sick.”

Which is pretty much what union official David Gonzalez wants Uni Melbourne to do (CMM Tuesday).

Or as Health Minister Mark Butler put it yesterday, “employers should be engaging with their employees … and together coming to a view of about the extent to which working from home arrangements, on a very temporary basis, could be put in place.”
