1. If we ask some people to telework from home, do we have to offer them a new employment contract?

Not necessarily, although normally it would be advisable to do so. It depends on how specific you have been in their existing contract. If you have left matters such as the place and time of work to management discretion, you may not need to worry about issuing a new contract. If, however, you have been specific about where and when employees should work, you will need to agree a variation to the existing contract.
