The global spread of Covid-19 is forcing employers worldwide to introduce teleworking. In Europe there are no uniform regulations for the introduction of telework, except for the voluntary European framework agreement from 2002, which only contains a general legal framework. However, this agreement is not binding law for the EU member states.

In the absence of uniform rules, employers who employ workers in different European countries live with the constant risk of violating country-specific regulations. To help employers, make the best decision for their company, the European Employment Group of Andersen have developed a practice guide that provides employers with important information on the introduction and implementation of telework in the individual European countries.

You can also join the Webinar by the Andersen Employment Law Group that will give a general and updated overview of the regulatory situation of teleworking in Europe. You can register here.
