The new world of work in Spain

As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and measures put in place in response, countries around the world – including Spain – have adopted new innovations in the area of employment in a bid to keep their workers safe and productive. One such innovation is work from home.

But remote work raises a host of legal and administrative challenges.
