The Ministry of Labor publishes a guide to telework

"To achieve # deconfinement, companies must make the most of #teletravail. After advice from the social partners, today we are publishing a guide to help companies and employees in this organization of work", tweeted Minister Muriel Pénicaud.

This guide will be intended for "companies which until now were not used to teleworking and which had not set up agreement and charter, which do not always know how to organize teleworking", explained the minister Thursday at the press conference of Edouard Philippe on deconfinement.

According to the ministry, around five million people are currently teleworking.

"We also count on the responsibility of each company in particular to continue to use telework to the maximum of what is possible and especially in Ile-de-France where it is crucial"she added.

Union officials have criticized this initiative for wanting to keep hold of such a guide and are also considering organizing an interprofessional negotiation on telework.

"If the result of the negotiations arrives in September-October, it is interesting for the future but it will not be operational for the next phase", Muriel Pénicaud replied.
