Employers are complying with employment laws of their home
states, but they may not realize their obligation to comply with
the sometimes very different laws of the states in which their
remote employees work, says Isaac Mamaysky, employment attorney
with Potomac Law Group PLLC. He explores implications of different
state labor laws as workers transition between working from home
and being in the office.
I was recently reminiscing with colleagues about the days of
hopping on a plane or driving for hours to join a brief meeting a
few states away. With Covid-19's two-year mark just behind us,
this exercise is often replaced by a simple Zoom call as many
employers have experienced a fundamental shift from the traditional
office to the "hybrid workplace," in which more employees
work from home more of the time.
