Employment Rights

Louise O'Reilly (SF), Dublin Fingal

It was reported that the WRC intended to finalise the code of practice on remote working by 31 January. Clearly, that date has come and gone. We have not seen it as yet and it has not been published. I am looking for an update as to the status of the code and a date for publication. The Minister will be as aware, as I am, that both workers and employers are left in something of a limbo. On the one hand, we have employers demanding that workers come straight back into the office and, on the other hand, we have employers who want to be able to support their workers but, in the absence of a code of practice, do not necessarily feel able to do so when it comes to remote working.
