Summary/Abstract: Working from home, as a specific way of organizing business, has become relevant due to the COVID-19 virus pandemic and has, thus, begun too attract increasing attention from lawyers. Digitization has also contributed to the renaissance of this form of work, opening unprecedented opportunities for a wide range of work engagements outside the employer's premise. Working from home introduces the changes within the institute of legal subordination of the employer-employee relationship, in the field of protection and safety at work and in the area of the employees private life. It also affects the employees efforts to strike a balance between family and work. In light of this, we hypothesized that the Labor Law contains insufficient provisions regulating work from home, which is increasingly present in the current practice. In addition to proposing the amendments to the Labor Law, the paper will point out the importance of the provisions on working from home in the Law on Safety and Health Work, which does not recognize this form of work engagement at all.
