[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I work for a company that follows the federal government with respect to weather closing, and also has a very generous telework policy anyway, so is used to most employees working remotely at least once a week though many do more.

I guess I don't understand how an employer can "make" staff stay? If someone gets an accident on the way home and they present evidence they wanted to leave and were threatened with consequences if not, I guess I don't understand how that flies.

I do get not paying someone (like an hourly employer) but I guess with professional office work, I don't see how the employer is not putting themselves at risk. Thanks for any insight, and please be kind. This is a serious question. I have heard of people suing for a lot stupider reasons.[/quote]

It depends on the state,  In some states, worker's comp is portal to portal, so an accident would be covered under the company's worker's compensation. [/quote]

True, but not in the DMV area.  There are a few exceptions to this rule, but none that apply in this situation.  [/quote]
