Remote work does not relieve the employer of the obligation to make sure that there are designated first aid providers and firefighters at the workplace
2024.05.28
Remote work poses the risk of running out of designated employees at the workplace due to performing work remotely on a given day.
The employer is obliged to verify on an ongoing basis whether they are present at the workplace. It is possible to refuse to agree to perform remote work in accordance with the employee's proposal if it would mean that at least one such employee is not available at the workplace.
The employer should also be mindful of its obligation when determining the leave of designated employees or their inability to work.
