In accordance with the amendments to Law No. 31572, colloquially designated as the Telework Law, it is explicitly prohibited for employees to transition from their remote work position to engage in other activities, including domestic tasks. This particular aspect has been the subject of considerable criticism from the general public.

The workday for a remote worker is identical to that of an in-office worker, including scheduled rest periods and active breaks. These are mandatory for teleworkers as part of the training and health and safety recommendations that the employer is legally obliged to communicate.

In the event of a work suspension due to a power outage or internet service disruption, wage deductions or the recovery of hours will not be applied. Should the teleworker elect to alter their designated work location, they are obliged to notify their employer at least five business days in advance. Furthermore, they must ensure that they possess the requisite IT and communication infrastructure to perform their duties optimally. Consequently, the employer is obliged to evaluate the potential risks that the teleworker may be subjected to.

It is incumbent upon both the employer and the employee or civil servant to define the conditions under which confidential documents may be removed from the workplace.
