The refusal of TikTok to allow an employee who had suffered serious injuries in a car crash to work full time from home was not in breach of employment legislation, the Workplace Relations Commission has ruled.

The WRC found Tik Tok Technology had not breached the Work Life Balance and Miscellaneous Provisions Act 2023 in its decision not to allow Zaurbek Musaev to work from home.
