TELEWORKING AND THE BLURRED BOUNDARY BETWEEN THE EMPLOYEE'S PRIVATE AND PROFESSIONAL LIFE
TELEWORKING AND THE BLURRED BOUNDARY BETWEEN THE EMPLOYEE'S PRIVATE AND PROFESSIONAL LIFE

Summary/Abstract: The concept of “teleworking” used reluctantly by employers until the outbreak of the COVID 19 Pandemic became, after this moment, the solution to protect the health of workers and businesses at the same time. But working most of the times, from home leads to the difficulty in determining the work program and to the interference between the working time and the resting time, with direct consequences on the employees' private life. Research shows that employees who work regularly from home are more than twice as likely to exceed a maximum of 48 hours of work per week, compared to those who work at the employer's premises, while almost 30% of those who work from home declared that they work in their free time every day or several times a week, compared to less than 5% of those who work at the employer's premises.
