The perfect storm of flexible working, changing roles and
rapidly diversifying business models
As flexible and remote working during the COVID-19 pandemic
become the new normal, employers must guard against accidentally
underpaying employees.
The COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted our work lives in a
multitude of ways, forcing many companies to change their business
models, reassess their requirements of employees and facilitate
employees working from home. These changes have seemingly happened
overnight and, in many cases, are becoming our new normal.
Industries are evolving at an unprecedented pace as businesses
pivot to head off disruption and competition and meet emerging
consumer demand in new markets. The office environment has also
changed, with remote and flexible work arrangements likely to
remain for many years to come. In addition to changing work
arrangements, employees are also being asked for more in their
present roles.
