Payroll Client AccessWhat Happens When an Employee Refuses to Return to the Office? Managing Return-to-Office Compliance in Wisconsin
With the advent of remote work, some employers are facing challenges with employees refusing to return to the office for work. In Wisconsin, employers generally have the right to set workplace policies, including where work is performed. Unless protected by specific accommodations under ADA or other laws, employees who refuse to follow reasonable return-to-office policies can be subject to disciplinary action, up to and including termination.
Return-to-office mandates do not qualify as harassment or discrimination and are allowed with some exceptions in Wisconsin.
