Original title: four major changes in the epidemic? PwC official announcement: American employees can work from home permanently, but their salary may be reduced
PricewaterhouseCoopers announced on Thursday that the company has allowed its 40000 customer service employees in the United States to work remotely permanently.
According to Reuters, PwC employees who choose to work remotely only need to come to the office for face-to-face activities for up to three days a month. Supporting employees in areas such as human resources and legal affairs can already choose to work almost completely remotely.
Yolanda seals Coffield, deputy HR Director of PWC, said that the company has learned a lot from the epidemic and recognized the need to maintain flexibility. Remote work will naturally become the next step.
Since the outbreak of the epidemic in March this year, most American white-collar workers have been working from home. In addition to PwC, other accounting companies, including Deloitte and KPMG, also provide employees with more options to work from home during the epidemic.
But telecommuting can affect compensation. Seals Coffield said that PwC employees who choose to engage in remote full-time work in low-cost places will have lower wages.
PwC's pay cut for telecommuting due to different locations is not an isolated case.
According to the work location tool launched by Google in June, if you work from home, the salary of employees may be reduced by about 10%. The salary difference of telecommuting in Seattle and Boston is 5% and 10%, respectively; In San Francisco, the pay cut for telecommuting can be as high as 25%.
A Google spokesman said that the company's salary scheme has always been determined by the location. It always pays according to the employee's workplace and the highest level of the local market, which will vary from city to city and state to state.
