'Reasonable & justified' | Firm's demand for WFH employee to attend office once a month was fair, says tribunal

An employer was within its rights to ask a fully-remote worker to attend the company office once a month, a tribunal has ruled.

The Workplace Relations Commission (WRC) in Ireland ruled against Rafael Jorge, a remote worker who challenged his employer's decision to require in-office attendance once a month, concluding that the company’s decision was “reasonable” and that the firm had acted within its legal rights.
