The government will regulate telecommuting, as it has worked for both companies and employees during the coronavirus pandemic, the Secretary of State of the Ministry of Innovation and Technology (ITM) told M1 news channel.

Bodó Sándor emphasized that they wanted to regulate telework only to the extent necessary, since “the death of this formation would be if it were severely regulated”.

He explained that the plans include expanding the concept of telework, putting the agreement between employer and employee on a new footing, which could help advance the interests of both parties. The place of work would be freely chosen in compliance with occupational safety regulations. (168 óra, MTI)
