Meanwhile, the Tánaiste has said the new draft legislation will not guarantee workers a right to remote working but will provide a legal right to request it.
Leo Varadkar also said that the new draft laws will contain a mechanism that will enable an employee to appeal a refusal of remote working by an employer to the Workplace Relations Commission.
