What does the law say?

Organisations that had already drafted a working from home policy before 1 January 2021 do not need to take any action. All other organisations for which working from home is possible are now obliged to develop and implement a working from home policy.

The aim of the working from home policy is to both monitor productivity and guarantee the well-being of employees. For example, agreements must be made about:

• The equipment required for teleworking

• Working hours and schedules

• Duties and performance standards

• Details about where employees can go in case of problems

More information can be found in CLA 85 and in the Workable and Flexible Work Act.
