Oak Forest Won't Allow Employees To Work From Home

OAK FOREST, IL -- The Oak Forest City Council voted last week not to allow certain city workers to work from home. A 6-1 vote opposed a measure that would allow the city's 14 administrative staffers to work from home under certain conditions, according to a report from the Daily Southtown.

City Administrator Tony Ishler had asked the council to approve the measure as part of the first changes made to the city's personnel manual in nine years.

Most aldermen opposed the idea. "You should have to report to work," 5th Ward Alderman James Emmett said.

Part of the changes that were approved include raising the reimbursement for the cost of tuition to employees who undertake graduate work and requiring employees to provide their address and other contact information when they are hired.
