What are Work from home budgets?

Work from home budgets are a great way to offer a helping hand to your remote or hybrid employees with the costs that come with working from home. 

These WFH allowances can be used for home office items like desks, chairs, monitors and headphones, or for bills accrued from remote working like electricity or wifi!
