Legal Question in Employment Law in California
Forced to work at home by employer.
I agreed to work for my current employer and began back on January 8th of this year and at that time he stated to me that he would get me an office to work from if I could work from home for the first two weeks and I agreed. It has been 5 months and still no office and I am paying higher utility bills because of this and I want to be reimbursed, what can I charge to the company for each month if at all?

Re: Forced to work at home by employer.
You are entitled to reimbursement for all costs associated with working from home. Document each item, telephone, internet, supplies, utilities, etc. and present to the employer as an expense reimbursement request. Your remedy for the employer not providing an office is to quit unless you can establish that a contract exists to provide an office - even then, your damages wouldn't make pursuing such a case a viable option.
