Available on the website, the ABES publication aims to legally adapt technology to the 'home office'

Faced with the scenario of social isolation, routines gained new rhythms and this also impacted the forms of work. Today, companies are having to quickly learn how to use the new expedient format, telecommuting.

Despite being used by many companies even before the pandemic, remote work, home office, exploded with the need for social isolation due to the Covid19 pandemic.

This modality is generating several issues in the labor market and, for this reason, ABES – Brazilian Association of Software Companies has gathered guidelines in order to answer questions from employers and employees.

According to the President of the Board of ABES, Francisco Camargo, legislation alone is not enough. Companies need to have norms and guidelines for teleworking that allow technology to keep up with legislation to avoid abuses and legal problems.

"Even with the measures recently adopted by the government to increase the legal security of telecommuting, technology has moved faster and provided tools that allow employees to work at home, in the same virtual workspace they had in the company, with a good user experience . However, for security reasons, some of these platforms allow you to monitor and even record the work session that the employee is doing at home”.

"To avoid compliance problems, companies must complement the legislation with internal rules, a telecommuting policy clear and in accordance with the law and, for that, ABES has made available a template that serves as a guide for any organization where employees work 'home office'”, explains Camargo.
