WFH in other parts of the world.
24 days. That’s the minimum amount of time that a German employee could soon be entitled to work remotely each year. In Germany, a bill is currently being prepared that may well introduce a new labour standard. While the country may be among the first to legislate telework, other countries have not waited for the global health crisis to entrench the rights of teleworkers.
A simple agreement must be reached between the employee and his boss. And, icing on the cake, the Dutch government even pays civil servants a monthly compensation of €80.23 for the use of their personal space. They can even enjoy a bonus of €1,815 over a period of five years for equipping themselves. No wonder then that the Netherlands is the European champion of telework, with 14.1% of the working population working remotely.
Following the example of the Dutch, Luxembourgers preferred a legislative framework to authorise telework, including for cross-border employees. An agreement was adopted in 2006 and again in 2011. In short, the recognition of the different forms of telework in the Grand Duchy is not new. The terms of the agreement must be written into the employment contract, or its rider, including the hours and days of teleworking or the place where the tasks are performed.
