Remote work is being imposed on me (or taken away)

Remote work is voluntary for both sides, requires a written agreement and is reversible; refusing it does not justify dismissal.

It is voluntary

For you and for the employer, and it requires a remote work agreement.

«El trabajo a distancia será voluntario para la persona trabajadora y para la empleadora y requerirá la firma del acuerdo de trabajo a distancia»

Art. 5 · Ley de trabajo a distancia (Ley 10/2021). Verbatim quotation from the BOE, in Spanish. Official text in the BOE

Refusing is not grounds for dismissal

Nor for changing your conditions.

«no serán causas justificativas de la extinción de la relación laboral ni de la modificación sustancial de las condiciones de trabajo.»

It is reversible

For both sides, on the terms of the collective agreement or the remote work agreement.

«La decisión de trabajar a distancia desde una modalidad de trabajo presencial será reversible para la empresa y la persona trabajadora.»
