Civil liability arising from remote work in government departments

Abstract

Teleworking is a system produced by technological advances in means of communication, This type of work differs from traditional work as it does not require the person to be present in the official workplace to perform the work, and he can perform it at home or anywhere else by using modern technological means, This system has many advantages, including reducing traffic jam, in addition to reducing costs for transportation to the work, as well as reducing administrative expenses for providing water, electricity and furniture at the workplace, And also Teleworking contributes to increasing production and increasing the efficiency of workers, as well as providing job opportunities more than the traditional work environment provides, In addition this system provides job opportunities for some groups such as People with disabilities, as well as women who suffer from family conditions that prevent them from being physically present in the workplace, This type of work allows them to reconcile between the requirements of their family and professional life. Accordingly we will divide our study of this topic into three sections, the first on the concept of teleworking, and the second on the legislative treatment of teleworking in government departments, and the third section on civil liability arising from teleworking in government departments.
