'Common sense': ACC backs down on limiting amount of days staff can work from home

ACC has backed down and will continue to let staff work from home three days a week. 

The corporation had proposed cutting that allowance back to two days a week at home - so the public service association then complained to the commerce commission. 

National Secretary of the PSA Fleur Fitzsimmons told Ryan Bridge that there was no problem before the proposed change, and that the staff's strong response contributed to the company's decision to back down. 

'We took legal action, we went to the Commerce Commission. And really all of those things have countered towards ACC's decision today.'
