If working from home in Croatia, is a separate policy or document required?
Yes, in Croatia, employers and teleworking employees must enter into an agreement or a supplement to the employment agreement for teleworking. This agreement must include:
- Working hours
- Equipment provided by the company (even if stating no equipment is to be provided by the employer)
- Equipment provided by the employee and reimbursement of related costs
- Reimbursement of other costs incurred by the employee (even if stating no costs are to be reimbursed)
- Methods of training for the employee
Given that the majority of local employees hired by Velocity Global Croatia work from home, the necessary provisions have been included in the draft template employment agreement.
