Currently, companies have two options:
1.- Companies will be able to continue teleworking, as long as it is justified and agreed upon with the workforce, even though the COVID 19 teleworking situation will legally end on August 9, 2021.
In fact, there is also a new Law that regulates teleworking and that allows the application of a series of measures to be able to carry out this practice while respecting the legality.
2.- Return to in-person work, but ensuring that all current regulations are complied with, in order to ensure the health and well-being of workers, and minimize risks.
At this time, the most important measures to apply are:
- Adopt ventilation, cleaning and disinfection measures appropriate to the characteristics and intensity of use of the workplaces.
- Make water, soap or disinfectant gels authorized by the Ministry of Health available to workers.
- Adapt working conditions, including the arrangement of workplaces and the organization of shifts, as well as the use of common areas in a way that guarantees the maintenance of a minimum interpersonal safety distance of 1.5 meters.
- Adopt measures to avoid the massive coincidence of people, both workers and customers or users, in workplaces during the time slots in which greater influx can be expected.
- Adopt measures for the progressive reincorporation of in-person work to workplaces and the promotion of the use of teleworking when possible due to the nature of the work activity.
