Telework – the magic potion?
- Widespread in Western Europe, less so in CEE region (no court rulings available)
- Inherited paternalistic view: employees to be overseen by „Big Brother”
- Tools unavailable off-site, staff compelled to commute to/from work
- State-of-the art IT solutions enabling remote access, remote work
- Up to employers to „break new ground”

Telework – the magic potion? (cont’d)
Dedicated employment agreement for telework• Employer’s right to instruct & supervise
– Data protection (ombudsman guidelines)– Technical tools (go to my PC, web access)– Option to minimize supervisory rights (delivery-oriented)
• Cost-splitting– Maxima of the LC: costs to be borne/reimbursed by
employer– Tax issues of private use of company tools– Usage policy to be in place– Disciplinary guidelines (for tools and data protection)
![Page 7: CMS Adonnino Ascoli & Cavasola Scamoni CMS Albiñana & Suárez de Lezo CMS Bureau Francis Lefebvre CMS Cameron McKenna LLP CMS DeBacker CMS Derks Star Busmann.](https://reader031.fdocuments.es/reader031/viewer/2022020712/56649ca25503460f94961443/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Telework – the magic potion? (cont’d)
Flexi-time concept available• Key upside: no overtime remuneration
• Employee has only to „deliver”, means & efforts remain in his/her sole discretion
• Workload to respect employee’s resources & capabilities
Data privacy issues• Employer may not inspect unrelated contents
• On-the-spot visits limited and safeguarded
• Data protections tools to be provided

Telework – the magic potion? (cont’d)
Liability issues (discipline and delivery)• Work performed „out-of-sight” of the employer
• Increased liability for assets & tools
• Limitations of use
• Performance liability question unsettled (employee’s wide discretion vs. lack of employer’s instructions)
![Page 9: CMS Adonnino Ascoli & Cavasola Scamoni CMS Albiñana & Suárez de Lezo CMS Bureau Francis Lefebvre CMS Cameron McKenna LLP CMS DeBacker CMS Derks Star Busmann.](https://reader031.fdocuments.es/reader031/viewer/2022020712/56649ca25503460f94961443/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
A tempting option… Let’s freelance!
Lack of tight bonds may incline parties to „shift”• Primary and secondary classification features
– Ownership of tools– Right to instruct and supervise– Discretion to allocate work time and resources– Client portfolio or financial dependency (critical)
• Devastating tax exposure– Unpaid taxes, levies plus default interests– Tax fines, surcharges– Unlawful VAT reclaims
• Employment exposure (Labour Authority and termination)

Telework-related schemes
Employees traveling globally• Maximum work time issue, time zone differences, bank
holidays
• Secondment or stand-alone employment agreement?
• Country-specific stringent provisions (salaries)
• Work permit requirements
• Hardship allowances (clear-cut policies needed)
