Overview
- The Government published Decreto Supremo n.º 009-2026-TR on Wednesday, July 22, 2026, which amends the Reglamento de la Ley del Teletrabajo to align rules with recent changes in Ley N.º 32102.
- The decree bars sanctions, pay cuts or productivity penalties for electricity, internet or other technical failures caused by case fortuito or fuerza mayor when workers report and document the incident through employer-established channels.
- For the first time the regulation adds article 10-A to define 'actividades particulares'—personal activities during the workday—and allows employers to request a justification and open disciplinary procedures if a worker fails to provide an adequate explanation.
- Employers must update telework contracts to include health and safety measures, digital security, confidentiality, harassment protections and reasonable accommodations, and they must identify hazards, evaluate risks and may inspect telework sites with at least 48 hours' notice.
- The rule keeps telework optional for employers, does not mandate continuous camera use, and will change daily practice by forcing companies to set outage-reporting channels, revise internal discipline rules and adapt safety checks, which could affect how remote work is managed and monitored.
