As per the Commerce Ministry, Work from home (WFH) is allowed for a
maximum period of one year in a special economic zone unit and can be
extended to 50 per cent of total employees.
The Department of Commerce has notified a new rule 43A for WFH in Special Economic Zones Rules, 2006.
Keeping
in view the demand from the industry, the notification by the ministry
was issued to make a provision for a countrywide uniform WFH policy
across all Special Economic Zones (SEZs). The new rule provides work
from home for a certain category of employees of a unit in SEZ.
These
include employees of IT/ITeS SEZ units; employees who are temporarily
incapacitated; employees who are travelling and who are working offsite,
said the ministry. WFH may be extended to a maximum of 50 per cent of
total employees, including contractual employees of the unit, it added.
Work
From Home is now allowed for a maximum period of one year. However, the
same may further be extended for one year at a time by the DC on the
request of units," the ministry said.
In respect of SEZ units
whose employees are already working from home, the notification has
provided a transition period of 90 days to seek approval.
