There has been a lot of change in the functioning of the offices affected due to the Covid-19 pandemic. To prevent the infection of corona virus, all the companies are also providing the facility of work from home to the employees. Now the government is preparing to bring new rules for this.
Due to the Covid epidemic, there has been a change in the way of working not only in the country but in the whole world. The increasing cases of Omicron and the fear of a third wave have once again intensified the discussion about work from home. On the evening of December 31, Harsh Goenka, chairman of RPG Group, tweeted and informed that his company has asked all employees to work from home with immediate effect and all offices will also remain closed. As a company, this is a big precautionary step, while it is also convenient for the employees.
Government will bring a law for ‘Work from Home’
Right now, due to corona virus infection in most offices, the facility of work from home is also being given to the employees. Work from home facility has also been provided in many government offices. Now the central government is contemplating to bring such rules, under which employees will get a chance to choose the option of work from home. The Ministry of Labor has also issued a draft for this. In this draft, employees of mining, manufacturing and service sectors will be included. With this move, a big change will be seen in the work culture of the offices.
HRA can be deducted
Under this, the reduction in the House Rent Allowance (HRA) of the employees is being considered. At the same time, an increase in the infrastructure reimbursement cost is also being considered. According to the work from home draft issued by the Ministry of Labor, the IT sector can get special exemptions in the new rules. IT employees will also get convenience in working hours. According to the Ministry of Labor, the safety of the employees working in the IT sector has also been kept in mind. According to the Ministry of Labor, this special model has been prepared for the first time according to the need of the service sector.
Government sought suggestions
The Labor Ministry has also sought suggestions from the general public on the new drafts. If you also want to send your suggestion, then you can send it to the Ministry of Labor within 30 days. It is expected that the Labor Ministry can implement this law in April. However, this step of the government can help the employees.
