THE FLEXIBLE HOME OFFICE, REGARDING ITS (NEW) QUESTIONS IN HUNGARY AND THE ISSUES OF THE VIRTUAL WORKPLACE

Summary/Abstract: The recent pandemic forced companies to switch to working from home. This process was necessary to maintain health and economic efficiency. The move from physical workplaces to virtual workplaces in the digital space started earlier than the pandemic. The pandemic amplified this process. In parallel, we also see that companies have had positive experiences in the process of creating virtual workplaces. The virtual workplace has serious IT-issues, which we try to reflect. Some of the employees have taken to this process. A significant part of the companies has not even returned to the classic former working processes. We have to focus also on the issues of the virtual workplace. Due to its practical popularity, it was necessary to regulate the home office at the legal level, as most experts also had the opposite opinion on its essential elements. In order to close this debate, the legislator has created a new regulation concerning teleworking, which amends the rules of the Hungarian Labor Code on teleworking with effect from the end of the emergency. We try to present this new regulation, which has not yet entered into force, and its many obscure points in the research.
