LONDON, July 20 (Reuters) - Royal Bank of Scotland
has told staff that the "vast majority" can continue to work
from home until 2021, despite the British government's decision
last week to scrap guidance encouraging people to work from home
from next month.
In a memo to staff on Monday seen by Reuters, RBS said it
would extend the option to work from home for more than 50,000
employees until 2021, extended from September previously.
"Like we've done throughout the pandemic the decision has
been made carefully, including considering the latest guidance
from the UK Government on Friday and our own health and safety
standards and procedures. It's a cautious approach but we feel
the right one to take currently," the RBS memo said.
