Flexible work and EPL risk: lessons from recent Fair Work Commission decisions

Since the COVID-19 pandemic, many workplaces are encouraging employees to return to the office to reinforce the importance of collaborative, face-to-face work and promote a positive workplace culture. As a result, many workplaces are implementing and re-examining their internal hybrid work models and flexible working policies to ensure they align with the current work landscape post-COVID-19.
