A company has decided to allow remote work for employees within certain boundaries. Each employee must still work in the office twenty hours each week spread out over a minimum of three days a week. It is up to each supervisor to work out the days and hours for each employee so that each department is covered with at least 50 percent of the employees in the office at a given time. Which one of the following choices is the best way for a supervisor to apply this policy in an ethical way that demonstrates integrity by properly applying the policy?
A) Ask each employee when they want to be in the office and allow them to choose, which may mean there are times when coverage is not 50 percent.
B) Draw straws and tell employees the days and times they will be working in the office.
C) Ask for employee preferences and do the best to accommodate the requests, knowing that there will be some employees who are not happy with the outcome.
D) Tell employees that remote working will not be allowed because it is to difficult to coordinate schedules.
