Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation

General Scheme of the Right to Request Remote Working Bill 2021: Department of Enterprise, Trade and Employment

Ms Wendy Gray:

The provision regarding the commute essentially concerns people asking to work from a different jurisdiction in Europe or a third country. It is there to allow employers to judge whether such a commute might be suitable. For example, if an employee is going to be a three- or four-hour flight away from work, would that be acceptable to the employer? The inclusion of this point is there to give balance in this regard.
