Whenever we request the collection, further processing and eventual transfer of personal data, the processing will be done only for the purposes mentioned, for other purposes your consent will be required. 

The personal data indicated in section 5 below will be processed for the following purposes:

7. Telework

Definitions

  • Telework: is “the form of work organization whereby the employee, on a regular and voluntary basis, performs the duties specific to the function, occupation or trade that he or she holds, in a place other than the workplace organized by the employer, at least one day a month, using information and communication technology”. This is the definition that we find in Law no. 81/2018 on the regulation of teleworking.
  • Tele employee: The employee who has subscribed to a way of performing work, in whole or in part and on a regular basis, outside the employer’s premises, using information and communication technology, has been referred to in Law no. 81/2018 as a “tele employee”, but if the worker can in turn hire labor, if he participates in profits and losses, if he invests capital – then he is not an employee.  CCS Sarl uses processors with whom it signs Service Contracts, but applies all legal provisions regarding telework, when the work activities are not carried out in the premises (work premises) belonging to it. These contracts also contain a Data Processing Agreement. In this Agreement, the obligations of the parties related to data processing in conditions of confidentiality and security in teleworking conditions, where applicable, will also be highlighted. The Processor, who is the Data Controller in relation to his employees, will implement the provisions of the Agreement in their work. 
  • Home office: generic name for the place(s) of work, agreed with and approved by the employer.
  • Agreement to process data by telecommunication: The legislator stipulates that the employer and the employee must establish by an additional act to the employment contract (Agreement) the places where telework will be performed; the employer will be obliged to ensure occupational health and safety measures in the places where telework is performed.

Telework is a form of work organization whereby the employee, on a regular and voluntary basis, performs the specific duties of his/her function, occupation or trade in a place other than the place of work organized by the employer, at least one day a month, using information and communication technology. 

Since the minimum limit for teleworking is 1 day per month, the teleworker works most of the time from a workplace other than the one provided by CCS Sarl. 

The location of the telework must be agreed by the parties. The employee shall not have the right to unilaterally decide on the choice of a place to carry out his activities by telework which has not been agreed and approved in advance.  

CCS Sarl understands that the provisions of Law 81/2018 impose the following obligations: 

  • the obligation to expressly provide in the individual employment contract or in the additional act to it, that the work is performed on a telework basis; 
  • the obligation to have the employee’s consent to telework; 
  • the obligation to have the consent of the full-time teleworker if he/she works overtime at his/her request; 
  • the obligation to include in the employee’s employment contract all the 10 clauses set out in Art. 5 para. (2); 
  • the obligation to provide the means of information and communication technology and/or safe work equipment necessary to perform the work; 
  • the obligation to install, check and maintain the necessary work equipment; 
  • the obligation to ensure that the teleworker receives sufficient and appropriate training in occupational safety and health, in particular in the form of information and work instructions specific to the place of teleworking. 

At the time of drafting this Policy, CCS Sarl employees do not telework. However, taking into account the current conditions, determined by the Coronavirus pandemic, our Company considered it necessary that our Privacy Policy also refers to this way of carrying out the activity, and if necessary, this chapter will be revised in the future, depending on the changes that will be required.
