However, there are many companies that do register on which days their employees work from home. Not every company that registers working days at home also provides compensation for this. “Employers often register homework to save costs,” explains Verlinden. “They can cancel the commuting allowance for the days that they register home work.”
“In addition, many companies already provide a reimbursement that covers working from home costs. Just think of a fixed expense allowance or making equipment available, such as a laptop, telephone, headset or an internet subscription. As a result, a home working allowance is also less appropriate.” Monica De Jonghe, director-general of the Federation of Belgian Enterprises, emphasizes this: “The homework allowance is just one piece of the puzzle in the complex matter of various allowances that can be awarded by employers.”
