As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and measures put in place in response, countries around the world – including Portugal – have adopted new innovations in the area of employment in a bid to keep their workers safe and productive. One such innovation is work from home or telework.

More than a year after the pandemic began, telework work has proven so effective, many believe it will become a fixture of our post-pandemic future. But remote work raises a host of legal and administrative challenges. This article – based on the 11 May 2021 webinar The Future is Now: The New World of Work in Portugal and hosted by legal experts Susana Afonso and Sara Chiappe Nolasco with CMS Portugal – explores the impact of telework in Portugal for both workers and companies.
