The State Duma passed in the first reading a bill on telecommuting

The State Duma has approved in the first reading amendments to the Labour Code concerning work in an online format.

The draft law envisages three types of remote work - permanent, temporary and combined. Thus, the temporary remote employment means the ability to perform their duties away from the stationary workplace, which is controlled by the employer. In case of a combined employment the place of work may alternate with the office and home.

Also, according to the draft law, the employee has the right to be off-line at a remote location, and overtime tasks after the end of the working day must be paid accordingly.

If an employee works remotely, he or she can exchange documents with management in a form that is convenient for the parties.

According to Dmitry Medvedev, chairman of United Russia, once labor relations move online, businesses will be able to reduce their costs, while employees will be able to manage their working time in the most convenient way.
