Working Remotely in Rathdowney

The work office/ hub space is a rapidly changing environment in Ireland with many new and exciting developments within the coworking and working remotely environment. Brand Central Hub is perfectly placed to provide this great service to the town of Rathdowney and surrounding areas.

Going forward many offices will be using a Hybrid Model, allowing workers the option to work remotely from a place closer to home. Brand Central Hub is very centrally located just 6 mins off the M7/ M8 and 4 minutes from Ballybrophy railway station (an hour and 20 mins from Dublin, 40 mins from Limerick, an hour and 30 mins from Cork).

Right to Request Remote Work

The Public Consultation on Remote Working indicated an interest in further information on who can work remotely, and whether remote working needs to be written into an employment contract. According to the WRC, there is currently no legislation providing for a right to remote working. Currently, an employer decides the location of an employees’ place of work, and this should be included in the Terms and Conditions of employment following mutual agreement.

The National Remote Work Strategy included the commitment to introduce legislation on an employee’s right to request remote work. The Public Consultation on the Right to Request Remote Work was held between 1 April and 7 May 2021, with the report on the submissions received being published on 20 August 2021. The Government approved the priority drafting of the Right to Request Remote Work Bill 2022 on 25 January 2022, with the General Scheme of the Bill being published and submitted to the Joint Oireachtas Committee on Enterprise, Trade and Employment.

As part of the National Remote Work Strategy, and following a Public Consultation on the right to disconnect the WRC introduced a Code of Practice on the right to disconnect on 1 April 2021. The Code includes guidance for employees and employers on best practice and employee disengagement outside normal working hours.

In response to both the COVID-19 pandemic and future remote working opportunities, Laois and Offaly ETB, in collaboration with IDA Ireland, SOLAS and Grow Remote, are providing online national training programmes that develop the capability and capacity of prospective and current remote workers and line managers.
