Definition of Teleworking. Telework refers to an IESO employee who: - Is working out of an office in his/her home; - Does not normally have another office at the IESO; - Is not working at home on an occasional or casual basis.
Definition of Teleworking. For the purposes of this agreement, teleworking is a way of organising or carrying out work, generally using information and communication technologies, so that work which would normally have been carried out on the employer's premises is carried out away from those premises. For the purposes of this agreement, a teleworker is a person who teleworks in accordance with the above definition. For the purposes of this agreement, teleworking is considered occasional when it is carried out to deal with unforeseen events or when it represents less than ten per cent on average of the teleworker's normal annual working time. Teleworking is considered regular in other cases. The reference period is the calendar year.
Definition of Teleworking. The new definition of teleworking is probably the major breakthrough of this new agreement. Firstly, teleworking is still defined as a form of organizing or performing work, usually using information and communication technologies, so that work, which would normally have been carried out on the employer's premises, is performed outside those premises. However, the new agreement no longer refers to the "employee's home" as a place of teleworking and, above all, it now recognizes occasional teleworking, which can be granted more easily to employees. Occasional teleworking shall refer to teleworking carried out in order to cope with unforeseen events (e.g. force majeure such as COVID-19) and/or teleworking representing less than 10% on average of the teleworker’s normal annual working time. In this context, written confirmation from the employer, e.g. by SMS or email, to telework will be sufficient. The need for an amendment to the contract will therefore no longer be compulsory. In this sense, the new agreement is consequently much more flexible towards the employers. In all other cases, teleworking will be considered regular.
Definition of Teleworking. Teleworking is defined by Article L. 1222-9 of the Labour Code. It is carried out outside an establishment of the company or a customer site. Teleworking can be "regular", "occasional" or "exceptional": - Regular" telework is that which is carried out on a recurring basis on a weekly or multi- weekly basis; - "Punctual" telework is that which is carried out on an occasional basis, i.e. in an unusual and very limited way, at the employee's request; - Exceptional" telework is that which is set up because of exceptional, unusual, unforeseeable and temporary circumstances, not inherent to the person, and at the employer's request, such as the inaccessibility of the company or the unavailability of the infrastructure (power or network failure, breakdown, theft, fire,...), bad weather (flood, snow...), travel restrictions (pollution), epidemics or pandemics, etc. making it impossible to carry out the employee's work on the company's premises.
