With the end of compulsory home working likely in the next few weeks – one group of workers may find they don’t have a choice on whether to go into the office or not - frontaliers.
Many believe companies are likely to be more flexible about home working in the future – even if it's not legally required.

It would be illegal under French law to even work one day a week at home.
The Geneva minister for finance, Nathalie Fontanet says she hopes for an agreement to make home working possible for French based workers.
