Work at home, the so-called home office, is becoming more and more popular. Especially in situations where the employer determines with the employee one or more days each week, allowing the employee for such a home office.

Lack of legal regulations referring directly to the home office in practice generates many problems, for example related to the occupational safety and health in a broad sense or to the working time.

The home office is often identified, incorrectly, with the telework. Employers applying this solution should therefore, in order to secure their interests, introduce appropriate home office regulations to their internal sources of law, which are, among others, work regulations.

There are no obstacles for such regulations regarding work in a form of the home office being based on the telework regulated in the Labour Code, to which art. 67⁵-67¹⁷ apply.
