Abstract

In a scenario of technological revolution and constant transformation and updating, which characterizes the “information society”, teleworking emerges as a new form of work organization. Its growth in recent years is notable, a significant result of the COVID-19 pandemic, combined with the progress of Information and Communication Technologies. It will be precisely because of these advances in teleworking that we will begin this work. Consequently, the benefits of applying it will be highlighted, but also the risks it may entail, as well as the different modalities that may exist in this context. Portugal also followed these changes. In this way, we will analyze the provision of teleworking in the Portuguese system, from its legal framework to highlighting some aspects of the current legal regime. The methodology used will be based on the theoretical analysis of doctrine and legislative norms in force in the Portuguese legal system, as well as scientific articles.
