I cited article 52 of the Labour Code in an opinion written in 2019. Is what I wrote still true?
No longer true. The article is still in force, but 5 statutes have amended it since. The edition cited was in force from 2019-05-08 to 2019-06-30; today's runs from 2026-06-07 to 2026-10-31. Compared as at 2026-08-25 and no other date.
Article 52(2). What changed
Then: the employer must grant a request to work remotely for at least one fifth of the working time norm, where asked by an employee raising a child under three.
Now: the one-fifth figure is gone, the threshold is a child under eight, and the list has grown to cover health, disability and the need to care for a family member.
Quoting the old wording today states a rule that no longer exists.Warning: a later edition of this act begins 2026-11-01. This comparison is correct on 2026-08-25 and stops being correct from that day.
