After the lifting of the extraordinary epidemic situation, as of today, 1 April, many companies plan to retain the hybrid work model. Even though the requirement that no less than 50% of the staff work remotely is no longer in place, the decision is up to the employers. Most businesses have opted to keep the hybrid model of work, combining in-office with home office work. The pandemic made working from home a necessity, and it is high time this new form was given the necessary legal framework, employers say.
