The new trend of work from home (WFH) may be a boon for a large section of private business, industry and institutions, but it is turning to be a bane for those forced into it in the wake of the current pandemic situation across the country. The practice is fast gaining ground although most employers are appallingly oblivious that their employees also need to be paid regularly. Till now, the unwritten edict from most employers to their WFH employees is: ‘payable only when able.’ Employees are at the receiving end. Reports from across the country and professions suggest that while employees working from home are giving their best and spending longer hours to meet their work commitment, many employers are evading their timely salary payment commitments.
