Microsoft Corp said on Friday it would allow most of its employees to clock in up to half their weekly working hours remotely, providing greater flexibility even after offices start reopening.
The software maker said in a blog post that while returning to office is optional for most employees, for now, Microsoft was not committing to having every employee work remotely.
The Covid-19 pandemic has changed the way businesses function, with work-from-home emerging as the new norm.
Facebook Inc had said it would allow its employees to work from home till July next year, while Google had extended the remote working period for employees who do not need to be in the office till June.
