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

Mr. Mark Doheny:

An individual hired on a remote-only basis over the past two years could, after the eligibility requirement of six months is met, submit a request for a hybrid working model that would fit within the definition of a remote working request. He or she could request some element of remote and office-based work that would have to be considered by the employer.
