Abstract
UID/SOC/04647/2013Despite early legislation supporting telework contracts in 2003, virtual work is still not expressive in the labour market. The current labour minister stated that the government encourages the topic to be discussed through social dialogue and collective bargaining. Virtual work received little consideration from the social partners in social dialogue. Collective agreements considering virtual work were also meagre and mostly repeated parts of the labour law emphasizing the improvements of working conditions. We detected collective bargaining outputs in the computer programming activities and two company agreements in the health care sector but did not find any convention mentioning telework in the finance sector.publishersversionpublishe
