Can the employer modify the work contract of his employee at home?

Employee agreement is required when contract change is important. This is the case when it concerns an essential element of the contract of employment:

• The remunerationeither up or down.
  The remuneration includes the salary and all salary "accessories", such as benefits in kind (meals, accommodation).
  If the employment contract provides for the provision of a meal to the employee, this benefit cannot be withdrawn without his agreement.
• The workplace. It is normally fixed in the home of the individual employer and must be indicated in the contract. The change in the workplace may be considered significant if the new workplace is remote and no compensation is given to the employee, for example.
• The working time (number of hours of work to be performed in the week or month). Any upward or downward changes to this period may not be imposed on the employee.

As regards working hours, everything depends on the possibilities of modification provided for in the employment contract. For example, if the contract does not provide for the possibility of working night time, the employee's agreement must be obtained.

It entails a change in the contract of employment. A written amendment to the contract is proposed by the employer. It is signed by the employer and the employee.

Yes, the employee can refuse to modify his/her employment contract. The employee's refusal may not be a reason for dismissal. The employer then has two choices: to cancel the proposed amendment or to dismiss.
