Employer cancels flexible work policy after employee cuts their finger at home: 'Cut my finger working from home. Boss cancels all WFH immediately'
"Cause and effect" or "action and reaction" is typically a predictable concept—bounce a ball on the ground at your feet, and you'd expect it to come flying straight back at your face. Still, when the factor of human perception motivations is included, you can end up with some interesting reactions that you might not have considered.
Take for instance, this worker who injured themself during their lunch break while working from home, leading to their boss's ending of their workplace's flexible working policy that allowed them and their coworkers to work from home. Now, this might be a reaction that you might not have expected it's hard to imagine how someone working in their own kitchen while at home on an unpaid lunch break would have any implications for the employer or their insurance, especially when the employee had initially reported it as a personal claim.
This reads like the boss was really waiting for any excuse to cancel the company's work-from-home (WFH) policy, though if that's not the case here, it's still on them if they had failed to consider their insurance coverage for employees working out of the office. More than likely, they cheapened out on the cheapest coverage option from a dodgy insurer who was looking for any chance possible to deny their claim. At any rate, it's on the company's HR department for reclassifying the claim to a workplace injury rather than it remaining as a personal claim as the employee had previously reported it.
