POST-PANDEMIC EMPLOYMENT LAW IN POLAND - A DRAFT OF A NEW REGULATION ON REMOTE WORKING

Summary/Abstract: Until the onset of the coronavirus pandemic, teleworking was not a popularform of work organization. Although there were regulations allowing employees to useelectronic means of communication, in practice it did not happen often. Probably one ofthe reasons for this state were quite complicated legal regulations, the condition for theintroduction of telework was the consent of the employee himself, and moreover, therules of its use had to be established with trade unions.
