9.10. Atypical work, telework

A supplementary survey called "Atypical work, telework" was linked to the Labour Force Survey, Q1 2018 which was carried out on the selected sample of households of the core survey at the same time.

2.3% of the employed respondents aged 15–74 who answered the core survey did not answer the supplementary survey Q1 2018. Those who participate in the public employment supplementary training programme are considered as employed according to EU recommendations, however, they were excluded from the reference population of the supplementary survey due to their special position. Those who had not worked for 3 months at the time of the survey and had not received any benefit either, were excluded too.

There may be some differences between the same aggregates of the published absolute numbers due to weighting and summing up. The evaluation of the distribution ratios was made electronically – without individual correction, so the sum of partial data is not always equal to the displayed rounded value of the aggregated data.

If a variable (after weighting) involves an occurrence of 2,500 to 4,999 persons, the data are to be regarded with reservation because due to the high survey error rate they may be incorrect; in case of occurrence of fewer than 2,500 persons, the data are not usable.

Concepts used in the supplementary survey

Teleworker: an employee who regularly or occasionally performs work at a location other than his or her place of work using information and telecommunications equipment. Our survey distinguishes two groups of teleworkers:

employed teleworkers covered by Articles 196–197 of the Labour Code 2012: who regularly perform teleworking at a place of work as specified by an employment contract and pre-qualified by the employer for safety reasons,
employees who do telework occasionally in a so-called "home office" (often referred to in common language as "working from home"; for example, in case of a mild illness, when the employee is still able to work from home, or a chimney inspection). The framework for this work is not laid down in the Labour Code and thus in the employment contract, but in the internal rules of the employer.
