TELEWORK – LEGAL REGIME BEFORE AND DURING THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC

ABSTRACT /

With the onset of the industrial revolution in Europe performing work tasks by employees at the employer’s premises became commonplace, both because of the needs of the process and organization of work and control of employees by the employer. Work from home, as a way of doing work outside the employer’s premises, was almost abandoned.

There was a slight increase in the number of workers teleworking at the end of the 20th century due to development of screen equipment, but a kind of revival of telework was experienced with the outbreak of the COVID-19. In such circumstances, telework is a way to preserve the source of income for workers.

The paper analyses and critically discusses domestic and international standards of importance for the institute of telework, and the author presents proposals de lege ferenda to improve the mentioned area.
