Working from home is a model which is increasing in significance on the German labour market. What does this mean for employee working conditions and requirements? This article addresses the issue on the basis of data from the 2018 BIBB/BAuA Labour Force Survey. It shows the extent to which employees who work from home are receiving greater autonomy but facing greater difficulties in switching off from work.
