Over half of Dutch remote workers cook during work hours. This blurs the lines between work and personal life. Experts state that occasional personal tasks are acceptable if work is completed. However, structural neglect of duties can lead to dismissal for "dagdieverij" (slacking). The permissibility depends on job type and clear agreements between employers and employees. Employers cannot monitor webcams but can mandate a return to the office.
