On December 23rd 2022, by Ministerial Agreement No. MDT-2022-237 (hereafter the “Agreement”) the Labor Ministry established regulatory guidelines for remote work agreements and the exercise of the right to remain disconnected from work, in accordance with the following terms:

• Employees rendering their services under remote work have the same rights and obligations as employees working on a presence-based modality. 
•  By mutual agreement, the scope of the labor relationship may be remote from the beginning or change to remote at any time thereafter. In any case, the duration must be specified.
• The employer must provide the necessary inputs and equipment to perform the remote work agreement. Any payment in relation to equipment or supplies required to work remotely are not considered as part of the employee remuneration.
