Jacksonville, FL asked in Employment Discrimination and Health Care Law for Florida

Q: I'm working at home. My employer is requesting me to send daily reports of temps. Can they do that even with me at home?

A large part of my job moved everyone to work from home back in March. We are all working remotely and no one plans on returning. ( Our employer agreed and likes us working from home.) They have requested that everyone has to send them daily temps for those working at home and in the office. For the ones that are working from home, this seems like an invasion of privacy. Please advise.

A: It doesn't seem to make much sense, but you had better do it. You give up any right to privacy when you agree to work from home. If you don't like it you can always quit.
