Controversy surrounding the costs of teleworking

While the government is preparing a new law to regulate teleworking, there has already been controversy surrounding the costs of teleworking, as the government has put a draft on the table for discussion in which it is proposed that companies assume the corresponding part of the costs derived from teleworking homes, but the employers' association is opposed to this and is asking the government to withdraw this issue.

All of this stems from the fact that when teleworking from home, you need to have some tool to do it, such as a PC, a laptop, a mobile phone, etc., you need to have some internet connection, and energy to be able to do it, and you also need to have elements such as a table, a chair, office supplies, etc.

Although it can be complicated to define exactly which part is used solely for personal use, and which is used for teleworking, it can be unfair for the worker to have to assume all these expenses from their own economy to be able to work from their home.

For this reason, this new Law also wants to regulate this aspect, and make it clear how it can be done so that organizations can assume the proportional part of all these types of expenses, but at this time this is already a topic of debate between business groups and the government, and it will be necessary to see what the final resolution of this controversy will be.

What is not so complicated is the search and implementation of systems that allow teleworking. Timenet is the solution, as it allows the workday of all workers to be recorded on any device that has an Internet connection, and therefore teleworking can be done perfectly and indicate when work starts and ends, also including any breaks or breaks that are taken.
