Work from Home Allowance
What is a Work from Home Allowance?
A work from home allowance reimburses employees for expenses related to remote working, such as home office furniture, internet bills, or additional utility costs incurred while working from home. This benefit helps create a comfortable and productive telecommuting environment while ensuring that infrastructure expenses are distributed fairly. Some companies also include technology grants or co-working space memberships to provide greater flexibility for remote and hybrid workers.
Benefits to Employer
A work from home allowance can help employers standardise remote work setups to ensure cybersecurity and ergonomic compliance, reducing liability risks. It also broadens talent pools by making roles accessible to candidates in lower-cost regions or with mobility constraints.
Benefits to Employee
Reimbursing home office expenses ensures equitable remote work setups. Employees can customise their workspaces for comfort and efficiency. Hybrid workers avoid feeling disadvantaged compared to in-office peers, maintaining morale across distributed teams.
