Original title: Portugal legislates for telecommuting: prohibit bosses from contacting employees during non working hours!
Beijing, Nov. 11 (Xinhua) according to foreign media reports, the Portuguese parliament recently approved the amendment to the labor law on telecommuting. The boss may be fined for contacting employees during non working hours. At the same time, however, the amendment will not apply to companies with no more than 10 employees.

Data figure: during the epidemic, a foreign doctor made a telemedicine call with the patient.
Portugal's ruling socialist party said the new rules approved on the 5th were a response to the surge in work at home caused by the new crown pandemic. Under the new regulations, employers may face penalties for contacting employees outside office hours.
Companies must also help pay for remote work, such as electricity and Internet. Employers need to list them as "business expenses".
In addition, according to the new regulations, the parents of young children have the right to work remotely without the prior consent of the leader before the child is 8 years old.
The revised law also includes measures to combat loneliness - employers should organize face-to-face meetings with their subordinates at least once every two months.
