The Right to Work Remotely and the Right to Disconnect in Ireland - Is the Home Office Here to Stay?
19 Jan 2021
The National Remote Working Strategy in Ireland has just been published. Before December 2021, the Government plans to implement legislation entitling employees to request remote working on a permanent basis. In Quarter 1 of 2021, a Code of Practice is expected to be published governing workers entitlements to disconnect from work in the evenings and at weekends. The Strategy envisages enhanced tax incentives for home workers and investment in remote working hubs as well as an acceleration of the national broadband strategy. We look at what this means for employers in Ireland.
