European Union (EU) directive on telework

The EU directive on telework sets standards to ensure fair and safe working conditions for employees working remotely. It emphasizes the importance of clear agreements between employers and workers, covering aspects like working hours, health and safety, data protection, and access to training. The goal is to balance flexibility with workers’ rights, ensuring that remote workers receive similar protections and benefits as those working on-site, while also adapting regulations to the changing nature of work in the digital age.
