Should I return to work? Your rights if your employer asks you to go back to work - The Telegraph

Millions of employees may be told to get back to their workplaces soon, as fears mount over the future of businesses that rely on commuters and office workers.

Both Mr Johnson and Bank of England Governor Andrew Bailey have raised concerns that the economy is recovering more slowly than had been hoped because people are still holding back from commuting.

Mr Johnson said he will allow employers to decide whether to ask staff to return to the office or allow them to continue working from home. They should consult closely with employees and only ask people to return to work if it is safe, he added.

Russell-Cooke associate Jeremy Coy outlines in The Telegraph employees' rights as employers begin to gradually expect a return to the office.
