'Workplace Injuries in the WFH Era: A Tale from Germany' by ResponseCRMllc remotework remoteworking
At home, or on the way to the office, does it really matter? Well, according to the insurance companies, it does."his employer's insurance refused to cover the claim."The federal social court in Kassel, Germany, had to step in and flex its legal muscle so that justice could be served.
That's why Uncle Sam's legal logic sounds fair and justifiable for any remote workers who may find themselves in a similar solution while working from home: The hero of this story didn't break his nail while typing on his laptop. We're talking about a serious injury that's going to prevent him from working from home or office, for that matter.
The court noted that the employee usually started working in his home office “immediately without having breakfast beforehand”, but did not explain why that was relevant to the case. However, later it said that statutory accident insurance was only afforded to the “first” journey to work, suggesting that a trip on the way to get breakfast after already being in the home office could be rejected.
