Abstract

The need to achieve a work-life balance and the option for employers to motivate and increase the productivity of employees are the justification for necessary legislative amendments in the future. EU Directive 2019/1158 on worklife balance defines in art. 3 para. 1 (f) the concept of "flexible working arrangements" which refers to "the possibility for workers to adapt their working hours – including through the use of telework, flexible working arrangements or reduced working time schemes". EU Directive 2019/1152 on the transparency and predictability of working conditions in the European Union specifies – in art. 1 (1) – that it aims to improve working conditions by promoting more transparent and predictable forms of work, while ensuring the adaptability of the labour market.
