A new legal regime for teleworking has been outlined in a regulation that took effect on 2 Feb 2021, and which implements the updated social partners’ convention on teleworking finalized in October 2020. The prior framework was based on a 2006 convention that was not in line with current teleworking arrangements introduced to address the COVID-19 pandemic. The new regulation defines “occasional” and “regular” telework and excludes certain roles (such as sales representatives) and employees who work in coworking spaces, or who provide services at a customer’s worksite.
