In a Q&A posted on its website and updated on November 17,
2020, the French Ministry of Labor provides details on teleworking
in the context of the "second wave" of the COVID 19
pandemic.
The implementation of telework becomes imperative
While in the previous versions of the health
protocol1 telework was
"recommended", it must, since October 29, 2020,
be generalized for all activities that allow it.
In practice, there are three scenarios:
Scenario #1: Employees can perform all of their tasks
remotely.
In this case the employer must place these employees on telework
on a full-time basis.
Scenario #2: Employees cannot perform all of their tasks
remotely.
In this case, the employer must take all necessary concrete
measures to reduce social interactions.
