More than half of employees were working from home for at least some of their working time during the pandemic. Among employees with office jobs, the proportion was as high as 76 per cent. They were also almost twice as likely to have an agreement to work from home as dependent employees as a whole. Analysis of the BAuA Working Time Survey 2021 shows that employees without a work-from-home agreement are at higher risk of experiencing an unhealthy blurring of temporal boundaries between work and private life. This and other results are presented in the current Working Time Report Germany.
