The Pandemic and Free Movement of Workers: Two Challenges in Austrian Practice

Abstract

Covid-19 has brought unprecedented restrictions on the free movement of workers. This paper takes a critical look at entry restrictions related to testing, vaccination and recovery. In addition, Covid-19, in combination with the entry restrictions, has led to an increase in cross-border working from home, which may result in changes to the applicable labour law.
