Most business organizations followed social distancing in workplaces as a control of spreading COVID 19 virus. Therefore, WFH concept is identified as a viable strategy in this situation and, most of the employers have switched into this strategy to ensure the survival of their organizations. At present, since the change of mode of work affected the minds of employees, and it is hypothesized that WFH affects employee job satisfaction in relation to their Physical, Social, Financial, Technical aspects. Data is collected from randomly selected 100 employees who have been engaged in WFH in two state banks by using a structured questionnaire.

The result showed that WFH and job satisfaction has a positive relationship relevant to the Sri Lankan banking employees serving for states banks. This result provides implications for installing WFH practices in workplaces and employers may develop strategies to boost employee satisfaction visa WFH practices.
