The Plenary of the Parliament is called upon to decide on the bill regarding teleworking in the public sector. The initial goal was implementation by January 1, 2025, but there were delays due to the complexity of the reform.

Key provisions of the bill:

• Exclusion of those working in shifts.
• Provision of technological equipment to teleworkers.
• Teleworking is not a right or an obligation.
• The maximum number of teleworking days is determined by the Council of Ministers.

Revisions by the Ministry of Finance:

• Possibility of teleworking for employees with at least one year of service.
• Clarification that teleworking is voluntary.
