Following the opinion approved unanimously by its members,
issued on 11 September 2020 by the Conseil économique et
social ("CES"), the social partners
LCGB, OGBL and UEL signed a new agreement on 20 October 2020 on
teleworking ("Agreement"), which will
come into force once it has been declared
"d'obligation générale" by
Grand-Ducal regulation, which is expected before the end of the
year 2020.
This Agreement upholds the voluntary nature of teleworking for
both employee and employer but innovates on various aspects, in
particular:
- the definition of telework is revisited by being more specific
and the scope of the Agreement is clarified by explicit
exclusions;
- the terms of regular and occasional telework are clarified by
setting a threshold for occasional telework;
