A day at work isn’t always just a day at the office. Attorneys in workers’ compensation practice know that all too well. And as technological advances allow more workers to telecommute and correspond on work matters from outside of the office, the conditions surrounding compensable incidents are increasingly complicated.
“The ability of an employer to maintain access to an employee and the ability of an employer to give instructions to an employee remotely have increased,” said Edward Neyhart, of the Law Offices of Byrne, Neyhart & Higgins. “As people work remotely more and more and people are engaging in various activities and mobile technology allows people greater access to travel and working away from the office setting, it becomes a much more important issue.”
