The right to just and favourable conditions of work (Art. 7) 2016, para. 46
Paragraph- Paragraph text
- In the light of contemporary developments in labour law and practice, the development of a national policy on flexibility in the workplace might be appropriate. Such a policy could include flexible arrangements in the scheduling of working hours, for example through flextime, compressed working weeks and job-sharing, as well as flexibility regarding the place of work to include work at home, telework or work from a satellite work centre. Those measures can also contribute towards a better balance between work and family responsibilities, provided they respond to the different requirements and challenges faced by male and female workers. Flexible working arrangements must meet the needs of both workers and employers, and in no case should they be used to undermine the right to just and favourable conditions of work.
