Problems of Legal Regulation of Remote Workers' Labor

Abstract

The article analyzes the norms of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation on the additional basis of termination of an employment contract with a remote worker on the initiative of the employer and on the temporary transfer of an employee to a remote job on the initiative of the employer in exceptional cases. The author believes that an employment contract with a remote employee can be terminated at the initiative of the employer if the employee does not interact with the employer for more than two working days in a row, except in compliance with the procedure for applying disciplinary penalties. It is concluded that the transfer of an employee to remote work on the initiative of the employer in exceptional cases, is not a transfer to another job, since it contradicts the concept of transfer, enshrined in Article 721 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation.
