Royal Decree-Law 28/2020, of 22 September, on Remote Work
The Spanish State issued Royal Decree-Law 28/2020 to establish a comprehensive legal framework for remote work, ensuring equal rights, voluntary participation, and written agreements for both employers and employees. The regulation mandates that remote work arrangements include specific provisions regarding equipment provision, cost compensation, working time recording, and digital disconnection rights to protect worker privacy and health. This decree aims to balance flexibility with security, addressing the surge in remote work accelerated by the COVID-19 pandemic while preventing the transfer of business costs to workers and ensuring non-discrimination.
