Legal conditions for remote work of local government employees

Summary/Abstract: The COVID-19 epidemic and its restrictions were (and still are) associated with employees working remotely. However, remote work has not yet been regulated by the Labor Code. The only legal grounds for remote work result from the Act of March 2, 2020, on special solutions related to preventing, counteracting and combating COVID-19, other infectious diseases and crisis situations caused by them. According to its provisions, remote work is work specified in the employment contract performed by an employee outside the place of their permanent performance, which may be commissioned by the employer to the employee in order to counteract COVID-19. Remote work defined in this way may be performed by employees within the meaning of the provisions of the Labor Code, including local government employees. The pro-visions of the COVID-19 Act on remote work are very general and do not resolve many important issues related to remote work. Therefore, local government employers should specify them in remote work rules.
