    Lads, for anyone who can do it isn't the work from home and farming great? No more racing around from work to the farm and back again to check stock. A blessing during lambing/calving. And I see it's being brought into law now that your employer has to allow you do it if possible. Add to that the travel ban! Has certainly changed my life....

    The only change in the law is that there has to be a procedure in place to allow you to request wfh, it will be up to your employer to decide if you get it or not, you don't have a legal right to wfh, it wont be difficult for employers to come up it a reason not to allow you if that's what they want to do.

    As a vet I find it great too that lads are around to see stock and get calls done during the day rather than a rush of calls at 5.30 when it probably needed seen the day before! Hopefully a good few can manage to WFH/ keep flexible hours long term
