Telework is defined as the performance of work activities outside the traditional workplace, using information and communication technologies (ICT). This modality is based on the principles of voluntariness, reversibility, equal treatment, shared responsibility, and the **right to digital disconnection.** The law provides that its implementation must result from a free and express agreement between the employer and the employee, without affecting vested rights or fundamental employment conditions. Workers under this modality will enjoy **all rights** recognized under the Honduran Labor Code, including working hours, fair remuneration, vacation leave, other leave entitlements, social security, trade union organization, job stability, and decent working conditions. Furthermore, **employers are required** to provide the equipment and tools necessary for the performance of the work duties, as well as to ensure occupational health and safety conditions in the space where such work is performed. The legal framework also establishes **mechanisms for performance supervision and control**, which must respect the employee’s privacy and **avoid any form of intrusive surveillance** or technological abuse. Likewise, it regulates the right to disconnect outside of working hours in order to **preserve mental health** and work-life balance. This legislation represents a significant step toward **labor inclusion**, especially for persons with disabilities, family caregivers, women, and workers located in regions with limited access to urban centers. It also enables companies to **expand their geographic reach**, improve efficiency, and contribute to environmental sustainability by reducing traffic and resource consumption. Finally, the *Law on Telework* is consistent with Articles 127 and 128 of the Constitution of the Republic of Honduras, which recognize work as a human right and a social function, and ratifies the State’s obligation to protect labor rights, promote employment, and **modernize legislation** in accordance with transformations in the productive environment   *Karla Andonie* *Partner, BDS Asesores* [![I have a question](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/6302490/b09e136c-59db-46ae-bb16-f7b6bb7d7ffa.png)](https://cta-redirect.hubspot.com/cta/redirect/6302490/b09e136c-59db-46ae-bb16-f7b6bb7d7ffa) [« Volver](https://publicaciones.bdsasesores.com/blog?hsLang=en-us) [Human Resources](https://publicaciones.bdsasesores.com/en-us/blog/tag/human-resources), [Labor Law](https://publicaciones.bdsasesores.com/en-us/blog/tag/labor-law), [Legal Talent Hub](https://publicaciones.bdsasesores.com/en-us/blog/tag/legal-talent-hub), [Littler Latin America](https://publicaciones.bdsasesores.com/en-us/blog/tag/littler-latin-america) ## Otros artículos #### #Honduras 🇭🇳 #BDS\_LaborAlert: Amnesty for the Elderly in Honduras Recently, in our country, Legislative Decree 59-2023 was enacted and published in the Official... #### #Honduras 🇭🇳 #BDS\_LaborAlert: Government of Honduras Expands Telework Due to Surge in SarCOVID-19 Cases On July 27, 2025, the Secretariat of Governance, Justice and Decentralization of Honduras... #### #Honduras 🇭🇳 #BDS\_LaborAlert: New SIHCAL System to Facilitate Compliance with Labor Regulations in Honduras The Ministry of Labor and Social Security of Honduras has announced the implementation of the **...** ![BDS-color-ingles-130](https://publicaciones.bdsasesores.com/hubfs/BDS-color-ingles-130.png) #### Subscribe here!
