The court made the ruling in a case brought by an employee of an accounting firm, who claimed his company was responsible for part of his rent while he was forced to work from home, Swissinfo reported <https://www.swissinfo.ch/eng/court-decision_companies-must-pay-share-of-rent-for-employees-working-from-home/45781126>, citing the German language Tages-Anzeiger newspaper. The company argued they were not responsible for the rent payment because they had not made an agreement ahead of them working from home, according to the report. But the court rejected the company’s argument — and even said an employee could retroactively recoup rent costs after leaving a company, the news organization reported. The court ruled a monthly dividend of up to $154 for rent cost was warranted. -- If you appreciate News From Underground, please consider making a donation — either a one-time gift or a monthly subscription: http://markcrispinmiller.com/support/ Thank you for your support.
