A tribunal ruling says employees with agoraphobia—an anxiety condition involving a fear of being unable to escape—may be able to bring discrimination claims if employers refuse to allow them to work from home. The decision, reported by the outlets, focuses on whether the workplace arrangement denies reasonable adjustments for an employee’s disability or related needs. In this case, the tribunal determines that a failure to permit remote working could amount to discrimination, depending on the circumstances of the role and the employee’s condition. The reports do not provide additional details about the employer, the employee’s job duties, or the evidence used to establish the medical condition, but they indicate the ruling creates a basis for employees to challenge an employer’s refusal to accommodate remote work. The tribunal’s conclusion is framed around protections against discrimination and the expectation that employers consider appropriate adjustments for disabled workers, which can include changes to where work is performed.
