Legal aspects of telework

On Friday 25 March, the technical conference “Legal aspects of teleworking” was held at our centre, organised by Mutualia’s training room, with the collaboration of our centre. This conference, presented by Mª Mar Crespo Millán, head of the prevention consultancy of Mutualia, had as speakers Guillermo García González, professor of labour law and SS of the UNIR, Amanda Moreno Solana, professor of labour law and SS of the Carlos III University and Tatiana Cuervo Carabel, professor of the master’s degree in PRL and SIG-ESIT of the UNIR.

 

Professor Guillermo García pointed out that we are facing “a concert that generates confusion”, in relation to the fact that in the search for a consensus between the different social agents, the rules that are issued are too generic, more like declarations of principle, and are not practical.
It is probably necessary to reformulate or adapt “the inviolability of the home” as a fundamental right when some part of the home becomes the workplace (in order to be able to guarantee access when necessary to verify that prevention rules are being complied with).

Professor Amanda Moreno stressed that “teleworking is no excuse for lowering prevention requirements” and added that “control of working time is a fundamental prevention measure” (in relation to time recording and digital disconnection).

Tatiana Cuervo closed the day by talking about techno-stress in its three varieties: techno-anxiety, techno-fatigue and techno-addiction, commenting that “it can greatly reduce the job satisfaction experienced by the employee with telework and also reduce productivity”.
