Remote Working Adjustment

If you're unsatisfied with your employer's decision, consider engaging in dialogue to understand their perspective and further explain your needs. You can use your employer’s grievance procedure to formally raise your concern. Mediation can also be an option to resolve disputes amicably. If these steps are unsuccessful, you may explore filing a claim at the Employment Tribunal for discrimination on the grounds of disability after ensuring you've documented your process adequately.

To demonstrate that working from home permanently is a reasonable adjustment, highlight how this arrangement accommodates your specific needs related to a disability or long-term health condition. Show that working from home enables you to perform your job effectively without undue stress. Emphasise any previous success with remote work, and document any discussions with your employer and medical recommendations supporting your case.

To appeal the decision, first review your employer's reasonable adjustment policy. Document your communication and rationale for the request. Raise a formal grievance, detailing the impact of their decision on your health and work performance, and reference the legal obligations under the Equality Act 2010. If this does not yield results, consider seeking assistance from an employment tribunal.

To strengthen your case, gather evidence such as: 1. Medical documentation supporting the necessity of working from home due to your condition. 2. Records of your job performance while working remotely. 3. Correspondence showing previous successful temporary adjustments. 4. Documents detailing your role and its compatibility with remote work. 5. Any relevant company policies on similar adjustments.
