Remote Working Legal Framework

Presidential Decree 52/22 of 17 February was published recently to establish the Remote Working Legal Framework. The Decree regulates the performance of work done with legal subordination, usually outside the company and with the use of information and communication technologies.

The proposal for remote working can be made at the initiative of either party.

One of the changes introduced by this law relates to the guarantee of respect for the privacy of employees who work remotely. Besides privacy, the employer must respect the rest periods and personal and family time of the employee. The employer must also guarantee the right to disconnect.
