Return to Office

At my company they sent nearly everyone who doesn’t need to work in the field on work from home. (It doesn’t apply to me since I’m a maintenance operator) I have seen a lot of posts and news articles about companies foaming at the mouth ready to bring their employees back and I don’t understand it. My company has decided that they are going to continue WFH for about 70% of our salaried employees indefinitely post pandemic.

New Jersey company to pay $712,000 for deliberately denying overtime pay

FTR Electrical & HVAC Services violated labor laws by capping staff pay at eight hours a day, no matter how long they actually worked, the Department of Labor (DOL) said in a lawsuit first filed in May 2020.
