(BLOOMBERG) - Working from home around one day a week will boost productivity by 4.8 per cent as the post-coronavirus economy takes shape, according to a recent study of more than 30,000 US employees. Much of that one-off increase is projected to come from reduced commuting time, a factor not usually captured by economists. The transformation will deliver enduring benefits, according to Dr Steven Davis of the University of Chicago, who studies the evolving workplace and was one of the authors of the productivity study. The "positive consequences will be there indefinitely", he said. The clues were there even before Covid-19. In 2013, a landmark study by Stanford University found working from home boosted productivity by 13 per cent. For all the optimism surrounding these tectonic shifts, some economists strike a note of caution. While recent research from the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco acknowledges that sweeping changes to the way people do business could boost efficiency, it warns against reading recent gains in productivity numbers as due to more home-working, citing data distortions. Even the Bank of England accepts that hybrid meetings "may be more challenging". A ma...

SINGAPORE - Thirty-six people have been charged in court over their involvement in the submission of $11.8 million worth of false claims to the Inland Revenue Authority of Singapore (Iras). These were submitted by various companies between 2014 and 2016 under the Productivity and Innovation Credit (PIC) Scheme, said the police on Monday (Aug 30). They were charged across two days - last Thursday and Friday. "These 36 persons are alleged to have either failed to exercise any supervision over the affairs of the companies in which they were directors, or to have abetted others to register as company directors who would have no involvement in supervising the affairs of the companies, or both," added the police. Six of them also face charges for intentionally perverting the course of justice by lying or instigating others to lie to the police during investigations. The police said three individuals in the group had earlier been charged with multiple cheating, money laundering and other offences related to the false PIC claims. The PIC scheme was introduced to encourage productivity enhancements in businesses. It ended in 2018. The scheme offers tax deductions or cash payouts to companie...
