The article considers the topical issues of the development of remote work in Russia. The 21st century is called the century of information technologies: there is an active introduction of high technologies in all spheres of human activity, including the sphere of labor. Such atypical form of employment as remote work is based on the opportunity provided by modern technology to perform the job of the employer, without being in the workplace. In foreign countries, remote work is better developed in comparison with our country. Many foreign companies have experienced the positive aspects of distance employment: saving time spent on the road, solving transport problems, reducing environmental tensions, reducing unemployment, having more time for family communication and relaxation. However, the author points out not only the advantages, but also the disadvantages of distance employment. The article highlights the factors hindering the development of remote work in Russia, for example, the imperfection of the legal regulation of remote work and others. In conclusion, the prospects for further expansion of distance employment in Russia are assessed.
