Work-Life Balance (WLB) is a situation where a person manages to balance work, family life and other responsibilities. During the COVID-19 pandemic, which began by the end of 2019, many companies have implemented a Work from Home (WFH) policy that allows a worker to spend all his time at home and with a relatively light workload.  The workforce today onward will be dominated by employees from generation X, namely people aged between 45 to 56 years and people from generation Y, who are 27-44 years of age.  Each generation has its own characteristics of how they work and respond to work situations. This research was conducted in an effort to determine the impact of WFH and workload on Generation X and Generation Y.  The population in this study were generation X and Y in Malang City, who had carried out WFH.   Using the Slovin formula, the samples were 228 male and 178 female workers of Generation X and Generation Y.  The results of this study indicated that WFH did not significantly affect the WLB of Generation X and Generation Y while workload had a significant effect on the WLB of Generation X and Generation Y.
