I work for a very large company.
The current company policy is that we need be on the premises a few days a week and can be called to come in for business reasons including at short notice Etc.
My divisional policy is that we must work a minimum of 20% of contract in the office, additional time is voluntary and we are formally trialing hybrid working and it means the office is hotdesking.
I need specialist equipment on health grounds including a chair because their standard office chairs do not fit me as per DSE requirements. So obviously I have my chair at home.
As we are formally trialing hybrid working and that working more than 20% in the office is voluntary (and their isn't a business case for me to go in such as meetings etc I'm just back office staff) would it be discriminatory for them to refuse to provide a 2nd chair?
As an aside I am registered disabled and I cannot genuinely use the standard chairs as they cause me pain but that isn't related to my disability more to the fact they don't fit me at all.
