The Record
Hackensack lawyer Randi Kochman was drafting telecommuting policies for two companies when the news broke in late February that Yahoo! Inc. was reeling in employees who work from home.
Kochman said she thought to herself that her clients were moving in exactly the opposite direction as Yahoo Chief Executive Officer Marissa Mayer, who rescinded the Internet company’s broad telecommuting policy.
In fact, it appears North Jersey companies are not only not following Yahoo’s lead, they are formally sanctioning telecommuting as company policy.
