Vietnam's trade ministry has called on local businesses to encourage their employees to work from home as part of efforts to save on fuel amid supply disruptions and price surges triggered by the Iran war.
But the report found dozens of employees were authorized to work from home without proper approval or because a department was following an old policy. The Finance Department appeared to have the most issues. The department reported five employees working from home, but could only produce one signed agreement. Additionally, the report noted "numerous" other work-from-home requests submitted for Finance employees this year that weren't reported by the department.
