Which of the following is NOT necessary when you telecommute or work from home?
- A.
An appropriate business reason
- B.
Pre-approval from your manager
- C.
A doctor's excuse
Correct Answer
C. A doctor's excuseExplanation
When telecommuting or working from home, a doctor's excuse is not necessary. This is because telecommuting allows employees to work from the comfort of their own homes, eliminating the need for a doctor's excuse. An appropriate business reason and pre-approval from a manager are important factors to consider when telecommuting, as they ensure that the employee's work is aligned with company goals and expectations.
