I don’t know if there’s a assumption of worker rights or abuse of how WFH activities are done, but assuming that it is okay to change locations, as in taking a vacation to an outside given area, without using PTO, and doing assignments for WFH there is a complete disregard to the labor laws in place based on your specific location. This is the major reason why employers prefer employees to work in person at a workplace than a WFH position—too much uncertainty. There’s clear defined laws for employment in place to protect workers. And it is quite easy to use PTO, if you request to use it so there’s no explanation other selfishness to hide being on vacation, because you want to “save” the PTO in an underhanded to keep your personal lifestyle as a priority over your work life. In other words—not even WFH is going to hinder your personal lifestyle regardless if you’re doing things that don’t protect your worker’s rights and may cause you to be terminated. Why an employee would risk doing this as an assumed right is wrong and definitely should be listed and addressed in the employee handbook.
