Summary/Abstract: The increased digitalization of activities in recent years has induced to a significant evolution of situations in which work is performed remotely. Beyond the benefits, a number of risks can be identified, and among them are the aspects regarding the evidence and management of working time. Law no. 81/2018 on telework activity is definitely adequate in many aspects. But, also, it contains issues that can be improved regarding: the risk of setting up restrictive conditions in the internal regulations concerning the establishment of the work schedule or the verification of the activity of teleworkers by union representatives, concrete regulations on working time records, protection against excessive fragmentation of working time, the fair balance between the professional and private life of the teleworker (is not enough taken into account), the right to disconnect (is not settled) etc.remote work; digitalization; working time; work schedule; right to disconnect
