Telecommuting is how so many workers today manage to stay employed and still handle other responsibilities such as elder care, child care, disabilities they may have etc. Yet there are legal perils that companies face when they allow workers to telecommute. Join employment law expert Melissa Fleischer, Esq. as she lays it all out for you and helps ensure that your organization is best protected.
