Efforts are ongoing to have a bill on remote work voted into law by October, deputies from the House labour committee said on Tuesday.
Akel MP and committee chairman Andreas Kafkalias said improvements have been made though there is still work to go, particularly after observations by the personal data protection commissioner.
During a committee session earlier in the day, deputies discussed improving provisions such as ensuring the right to disconnect and making disability adjustments, as well as including operational expenses for employees.
Kafkalias said discussions will continue next week, and the expectation is that the bill will head to plenum by October.
Disy MP Fotini Tsiridou said remote work would be on a voluntary basis, to be implemented where employers and employees agree.
