The regulation of teleworking has been the subject of
discussions since 2000, but it was in 2002 that such discussions
materialized for the first time through the adoption of the
Framework Agreement on Telework by the social partners at the level
of the European Union. Since then, the aim has been to modernize
employment relationships, in order to increase the productivity and
competitiveness of the companies.
Teleworking seems to be finally regulated at national level too.
Recently, the Chamber of Deputies adopted the Draft Law on the
regulation of telework, which was subsequently sent for
promulgation to the President of Romania.
The draft law defines telework as follows: "the form of
organization of work under which the employee, on a regular and
voluntary basis, performs the duties specific to his/her position,
activity or job, in a place other than the workplace organized by
the employer, at least one day per month, using information and
communication
