e latest labor reform (Decree Law 3/2012) constitutes a legal milestone of Spanish law as telework is regulated within a legislative framework for the first time, by modifying article 13 of the Statute of workers’ rights. This does not mean that some companies were not already implementing telework and other flexible working models. Certainly, some firms’ practices are quite innovative in this domain. Microsoft Spain and Wolters Kluwer Spain tell Planet Labor about their telework and other flexible working practices. (Ref. 120698)
Telework does not only refer here to work from home but also from other remote locations—locations different from a typical office block. Telework largely comprises work via distance based on the intensive use of technologies.
