Posted By Nick House Hi all Can anyone point me in the direction of the regs/ ACoPs that cover home based workers/ home office set up. I know there's something somewhere, but I've gone completely blank on this! Our resident bean counter is trying to squirm out of paying for the furniture to set up certain members of staff witha home office. These guys are based from home, so need to be working to a minimum requirement - eg desk/ chair/ docking station for laptop/ separate keyboard and mouse/ printer. He's even gone as far as saying that we do not need to provide them with desk/ chair/ etc.!!! I know that home based workers are owed a similar duty of care to that of office based, and that they should be treated as if they were working in a similar position, but office based in their assessment.
