Therefore, the objective of the research is to determine the implication of teleworking and its impact on labor rights related to working hours, rest, remuneration, risk prevention and reversibility, for which a qualitative methodological approach will be used and the scientific research methods will be bibliographic review, the historical - logical and the analytical - synthetic. From this study, little attention has been found on the part of the authorities in the regulation of teleworking and a growing tendency to choose said work model by people.
