Abstract

In the case of cross-border employment, the applicable law is determined mainly according to habitual place of work. If this factor cannot be clarified, the engaging place of business of the employer determines the applicable law. Both factors can be set aside if the relationship is more closely connected to some other country. Telework is performed outside the employers’ premises, and the determination of the exact workplace can be difficult. This again complicates the determination of the applicable law in cross-border cases. This article analyses how, in the case of cross-border telework, the applicable law should be determined. It is argued that the exact system depends on the type of telework. If telework is performed in one country abroad, the habitual place of work determines the applicable law. If teleworker has at least two offices or manages his own working time, the second connecting factor applies. As the determination of the applicable law according to the engaging place of business is not considered to be sufficiently employee-protective, escape clause should be emphasised in the second case to guarantee the best employment protection to the employee.
跨境远程工作和适用的劳动法:不同关联因素在确定客观适用法律中的作用
在跨境就业的情况下,适用法律主要根据惯常工作地确定。如果这一因素无法明确,则由雇主的营业地决定适用法律。如果与其他国家的关系更为密切,则可将这两个因素放在一边。远程工作是在雇主的办公场所之外进行的,因此很难确定确切的工作场所。这再次使跨境案件中适用法律的确定变得复杂。本文分析了在跨境远程工作的情况下应如何确定适用法律。本文认为,确切的制度取决于远程工作的类型。如果远程工作在国外的一个国家进行,则由惯常工作地决定适用法律。如果远程工作人员至少有两个办事处或管理自己的工作时间,则适用第二个关联因素。由于根据营业地确定适用法律被认为不足以保护雇员,因此在第二种情况下应强调免责条款,以保证为雇员提供最佳就业保护。
