East Lothian Council is set to double to home working allowance for staff in a bod to encourage more to sign up to contracts.
A report to the council's Labour administration cabinet next week will say the cost of living crisis has made the current £156 annual allowance a 'disincentive' to staff who can work from home.
It proposed doubling the payment to the maximum allowed by the HMRC before tax is charged which currently stands at £312.
