According to a press release issued on November 11, the Labor Inspectorate has launched a national campaign to check the application of legal provisions regarding working from home, telecommuting, staggered working hours, and workplace health and safety, with the aim of reducing the risk of COVID-19 contamination.

The campaign runs from November 10 to November 24, 2020, including November 14 and November 21, targeting employers with more than 50 employees.

The objectives of the campaign are as follows:

1. Raising awareness among employers with more than 50 employees and encouraging them to organize work schedules so that staff are divided into groups that start and finish work at least one hour apart, as well as implementing work-from-home and telecommuting measures. This aims to reduce the risk of coronavirus contamination at the workplace and during commutes, and to ensure a safe work environment for the security and health of workers.

2. Checking the compliance of employers with more than 50 employees with legal provisions regarding working from home, telecommuting, staggered working hours, and occupational health and safety.
