An employment expert says the Government's new directive against public servants working from home makes sense. 

The Public Service Commission has issued new guidance confirming all flexible work arrangements should be monitored and workers are not entitled to work from home. 

It's sparked legal action from a major public sector union. 

Employment expert Jennifer Mills told Andrew Dickens workers on flexible arrangements are likely not the main target of this move. 

She says studies show there's no productivity issues with hybrid workers, but there is with people working solely from home. 

Mills says hybrid models are still well within the current rules, but there does need to be express agreement and transparency to ensure it’s suitable.
