According to the new laws, companies with more than 10 staff could face fines if they contact employees outside working hours. The country has also introduced a new law that will allow parents to work from home indefinitely without seeking prior approval from their employers until their children turn eight.<\/p>\n

Several countries and companies employed working from home as countries went on lockdown due to Covid-19. Malawi adopts anti-workers laws<\/p>\n
