Thanks to Ross and Russel from 3AW , Michelle examines the impact of location-based pay on remote staff. Following a global survey suggesting home-based workers could face pay cuts, she explains why the focus must shift to output-based pay.

There are concerns it will spark a battle with remote staff who may feel relegated to being second-class, but workplace expert Michelle Gibbings says it’s about the outcome, not the destination.
“Most organisations pay differently … so focus on the output, focus on the quality of the work that people are doing,” Ms Gibbings told Ross and Russel.
