With the rise of remote working, understanding the legal frameworks becomes crucial for businesses in Cyprus. The European directives, Council Directive 91/533/EEC and Council Directive 89/391, set the groundwork for employee working conditions and workplace safety, respectively. As remote work becomes prevalent, adapting these directives to fit virtual environments poses new challenges.
How Do the EU Directives Influence Remote Work Policies in Cyprus?
The aforementioned directives provide a base for creating comprehensive remote working policies in Cyprus. Council Directive 91/533/EEC ensures transparency in employment terms, while Directive 89/391/EEC is essential for maintaining occupational health and safety. These frameworks are vital as companies enhance their remote work structures, ensuring legal compliance and employee well-being.
What Are the Key Considerations for Cyprus Businesses?
Cypriot authorities highlight several considerations for businesses instituting remote work policies:
Data Protection: Ensuring compliance with GDPR to safeguard employee data.
Health and Safety: Modifying safety standards to include home office setups.
Employment Contracts: Clearly delineating remote work terms and conditions.
Covering of costs associated with working from home: Ensuring that the cost of home office setups are wholly or partly covered by the employer.
