On August 20th this year, an amendment to the so-called Special Coronavirus Act of March 2nd, 2020 on special solutions related to preventing, counteracting and combating COVID-19, other infectious diseases and related emergencies (“Special Act“) was announced. 

The amendment covers regulations relating to the ability of employers to assign an employee to work remotely to prevent the spread of SARS-CoV-2.

The amendment to the Special Act resulted in the remote work regulations (i.e. Article 3 of the Special Act) being no longer classified as temporary, but binding also following September 4th, 2020, meaning that assigning an employee to remote work from September 5th onwards will still be possible under the Special Act.

In addition, remote work regulations have been clarified by precisely indicating the period, during which employers may give a remote work order in connection with COVID-19.
