Is anyone’s company offering to pay portion of your rent as home office expense? Especially if company is no longer paying for commercial office space?

I doubt any company would do this. Maybe if there were less than 10 employees but def not a large firm

No, I get $10 reimbursement for the data on my phone. Had to use my own laptop and all that Jazz.

When I was hired, I don't recall being informed about my salary being tied to my location. My employment contract also only makes one mention of location, and says "home office" and my state. I was recently told by HR though that if I move, my comp. will be lower. Is this legal? Should I consult a labor lawyer?

In my mind, I don't recall being told this and it's not clear from my employment contract, so I feel like they're breaking our agreement, and it feels unfair.

Thoughts on what to do?
