Abstract
The rapid advancement of digital
transformation and the profound impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic have
accelerated the widespread adoption of remote work across many countries. In
Europe, legal frameworks governing remote work have been progressively developed
to ensure a balance between labor market flexibility and the protection of
employees’ legitimate rights and interests. This article examines legislative
experiences and regulatory practices concerning remote work in selected
European countries, focusing on key issues such as the concept and scope of
regulation, rights and obligations of the parties in employment relationships,
working conditions, working time and rest periods, occupational safety and
health, data protection, and the right to disconnect. Based on a comparative
analysis with current Vietnamese labor law, the article identifies existing
gaps and limitations, and proposes orientations for improving the Vietnamese
legal framework in order to meet practical demands and international integration
trends.
