The time policies of the Metropolitan City of Milan (CMM) are mostly aimed at the organisation’s employees, but there are also initiatives involving the wider metropolitan area. In particular, CMM provides for the use of teleworking in two forms: e-work and smart work. In the first case, certain categories considered more vulnerable (such as parents of children under 14, people with medical conditions, caregivers, etc.) are allowed to work entirely from home, with only one day per week required in-person. In the second case, employees of CMM whose roles are compatible with smart work are allowed to work remotely for a few days each month. Additionally, other work-life balance measures are in place, such as the option to work part-time or to have flexible working hours for clocking in and out.
