Summary/Abstract: The development of information technology tools has developed a new method of performing work processes: teleworking. The Covid-19 pandemic provided an opportunity for this new form to test its potential, benefits, costs and risks. The lessons learned from this massive forced testing are being used by companies and public entities to assess future challenges. Many European countries and beyond are making rapid improvements in legislation to regulate this form of employment and at the same time in the direction of encouraging an ever wider use of work from home and specifically telework. In Albania, some institutions, mainly financial, have seen the benefits of telework and are expanding the use of this practice of carrying out work processes. This phenomenon is still not accompanied by state intervention in legislation in order to regulate this new work relationship, always in the direction of facilitating and encouraging its extension to as many professions and institutions as possible, where it brings benefits.
