PricewaterhouseCoopers announced today it will allow all U.S. employees who can telework the ability to work virtually from anywhere in the continental U.S. moving forward.

The new policy will impact nearly 40,000 employees who work in client services, including consultants, auditors and tax professionals. The company says it is the first professional services firm to offer workers a permanent work-from-anywhere option.

“If you’re a client services employee in good standing and you want to work virtually, we will make it happen — full stop,” PwC deputy people leader Yolanda Seals-Coffield tells CNBC Make It.

“The breadth of how many people are impacted by this is huge,” she adds. “We don’t know how many people will adopt this yet, but that’s what makes this a big leap of faith from a leadership perspective to offer people this flexibility.”

PwC, a global network of independent firms, has a total of 55,000 U.S. employees, including people in office services or IT support whose job requires them to work in-person.

I remember when aircraft maintenance on aircraft flying point to point in the US had to be maintained and inspected in the US...no more. Hangars in El Salvador and China are stuffed to capacity.

5. I think this is great. I wonder if taxes are collected at the company

Location of where they live. New York would lose a ton of revenue if the new location is taxable.
