Regulación del teletrabajo en la legislación ecuatoriana.

Abstract

With the evolution of information technology, the existing rigid employment relationship has achieved acceptable flexibility that allows employment levels to be increased in various ways. The result of this flexibility is teleworking, which has become a work modality that provides several social, economic and ecological benefits and is being applied by many companies worldwide. Teleworking is considered a social reality to which the law must pay due attention, and to do so it must be legally regulated and institutionalized. As a step towards said normalization, links with the academic sectors of the countries must be generated so that it can have good foundations. The objective of this work is to determine the lack of teleworking regulations in Ecuador and at the same time to propose a certain reform change to the Labor Code in such a way that some legal provisions that are directly related to teleworking can be added and that there are clear rules for opt for this modality without harming the employer and the worker, in addition, the teleworking contract model is presented that incorporates exclusive clauses regarding teleworking as such.
