Allowing employees to work remotely used to be a perk that employers would only offer on occasion, for example, if an employee had to wait for a delivery at home or if they had car troubles. However, this convenience became a necessity when the pandemic left employers with no choice but to force nonessential workers to work remotely. This was unchartered territory for most employers, illustrated by the fact that close to three-quarters of employees had never worked from home before, according to the National Council on Compensation Insurance (NCCI). The influx of remote work created new challenges for employers, especially in terms of employee benefits and liability insurance.
