Any employers supporting WFH costs?

[Lochroy]

It seems like WFH is set to last and winter is coming... are any employers doing anything to contribute to the costs they would normally be facing if employees were in the office? I work for a huge corporation with an office which is completely shut. Business is carrying on as normal.

FWIW, I don't have an expensive commute so not really saving there. I think it's costing me to WFH.

Things I have in mind are:

• Electricity (laptop and screen on all day, work phone charging, kettle boiling )
• Heating - will become a biggie
• Subsidised lunch canteen (sounds fancy, it's pretty basic but part of our Ts and Cs)
• Water (both drinking water and toilet flushing!)
• plus some random others - I've had to do a little printing so that's my paper and ink, etc.

I know some of these sound flippant, but it's been six months already and it will really add up once heating comes into the mix.

I'm aware you can claim £6/week tax relief but I don't do a tax return so that would be complex to do.

Have any employers in similar situations started to support employees in this respect?

I am not - I deliberately paid more money to live at a walkable distance from my office; I always took packed lunch and we are allowed to dress in a complete mess at my office - so yeah, I'd like some recompense for my increased energy bills and stationary/postal costs. Thanks.

oh yes, and I have asked my workplace - waiting for a reply. Be interesting to hear what happens to other s- but I really don't think people should accuse other workers of 'having the luxury' of living near a workplace etc. We all need to be treated the same - and not disadvantageously vis a vis those who own and manage our companies. That is the logic that pits us against each other and accuses better organised workers of unfairly having golden pensions or too high wages.

We're not paying for transport costs and Pret sandwiches. Swings and roundabouts.

I was asked today if I wanted someone to bring my desk chair to me but I had to say no. I don't really have the room and even if I tried it, if it doesn't work I'd have to store it in the garage and I can't help thinking it would be mouse fodder by the time I eventually went back!

Not sure how requesting a new chair because my last one had been eaten would go down!
