Working from home permanently, benefits?

OrbitHeadache · 2021-09-05 11:37:56

Hi, I am working from home permanently for the foreseeable future. My employer has supplied me with laptop and accessories as well as desk. Can I get any money back for the electricity I will use to run the laptop all day?

The only part that I think unfair is that many people have lost the use of a room and the employer has potentially made a massive saving on electricity with the building being empty. I'm not suggesting that employers should make weekly payments, but some kind of acknowledgement that working from home isn't all beneficial wouldn't go amiss.
