One of the ways of performing lawful and personal services by a worker, without the need to physically appear at the company for which he/she was hired, is teleworking. This modality, which emerged in the 1970s in the United States as a response to an oil crisis, represents an innovative form of remote work performance.Telework has generated both positive and negative aspects throughout its implementation, since it constitutes a new form of employment adapted to the so-called new knowledge workers. It supports the current trend towards decentralization and flexibility in employers' organizational structures.Therefore, it can be argued that the link between worker and employer can continue to be framed within a dependency relationship, and as such, be subject to the legal protection provided for subordinate work.
