Google is trialing a reduction in pay for those not in the office.
A human resources expert says employers could lose workers if they reduce pay for those working from home.
Google is trialing a new internal 'pay calculator' which shows a worker what they will be paid working remotely in different areas.
With pay cuts in places where cost of living is lower.
Managing director of the HR suite Caroline Reidy says this could lead to staff issues.
Employment solicitor Richard Grogan says this could work in Ireland by all workers receiving the same base salary, and those in high cost areas, like Dublin, getting an extra allowance.
Google's remote employees, especially those who once commuted from long distances, could experience pay cuts, according to a company pay calculator seen by @Reuters https://t.co/lZjrQ7t4mJ pic.twitter.com/UojKBFWzgL
