The Basque Government will resume teleworking from January 2026

The Basque Government will resume teleworking from January 2026 , so that public employees will be able to develop this form of work two daysa week .

In July, the Basque Governing Council approved the agreement adopted at the Sectoral Bureau of the General Administration, which regulates themodalities of teleworking and non-face-to-face work in the General Administration and Autonomous Agencies.

The agreement was signed by LAB, CCOO and UGT, and ELA was excluded after almost six months of negotiations.

From January of next year, therefore, public employees will be able to work in a non-face-to-face manner for two days a week, and the decree also gives this possibility toall workers who can work in teleworking, provided that the provision of the public service  is guaranteed 'correctly'.

In this regard, workers may operate from a different dwelling than usual in order to facilitate the reconciliation of work and family life , and in some cases the one-year requirement for access to this modality has been relaxed and may be reduced to six months by means of selective procedures to be convened annually by the Administration.

Training courses appropriate to the needs of staff and staff managers will also be offered and will be available from 17 September.
