Don't know about you but My work laptop battery would be lucky to last more than two hours during a power cut anyway. I have a work mobile but even if I didn't I’d use my own for those two hours. Unless its happening regularly is it even worth worrying about? If it was extended Id either be taking leave / TOIL or heading into the office.
As most of us now work from home, we're relying on our household amenities a lot more which made me think.
Scenario - You're working from home and your electricity goes off. The power company said it should be on later in the afternoon but you need the electricity to power your broadband router. As the only option is to use your mobile phone as a mobile hotspot so you can continue working, does anyone know if you can claim anything through work as connecting like this eats in to your data allowance?
Thanks.
If the leccy goes off just tell work you can't work until it comes back on. Simple really. Or go back to the office.
