Social implications of teleworking (Summary)

The Foundation in collaboration with the European Commission, set out to establish how aspects of labour law, social security and health and safety affect tele-workplaces in the 15 EU countries. This report summarises a series of three reports consolidating the results of these studies. They provide an overview of the existing 'regulatory social framework' - through legislation or collective agreements - regarding the social protection of teleworkers. They also identify the areas where the existing social protection of teleworkers needs to be reviewed in order to remedy insuffciencies or remove obstacles to their wider applications.
