It is very likely the way we worked before the pandemic will not be the same once the virus is suppressed. Remote work will remain a significant part of our reality.

“Employees of labour offices are working from home if the character of their job allows it,” Marianna Šebová of the Central Office of Labour, Social Affairs and Family (ÚPSVaR) told The Slovak Spectator.

payment of various social benefits and administration.
Global studies have suggested that the flexible work model is likely to be preserved in some form even after the pandemic is over. Employers addressed by The Slovak Spectator confirmed this expectation. Some of them are currently searching for the right setup for their employees.
