Question 1: We have been working to recover from our office closure that was the result of Hurricane Sandy. This is the time of year when everyone wants to take vacation but our backlog is staggering. Can we require that employees forego taking their vacation until we are caught up. Question 2: In the northern States, this is the time when we get snowstorms. We have a new office network which enables access to the network remotely. Some of our Customer Service Representatives live far away. There’s nothing about it in our handbook – can we let them work from home on an adhoc basis?
