🖥️ Remote Work Program

The Ministry of Human Resources launched the Remote Work Program as the official and recognized legal framework to regulate the relationship between remote workers and employers.

📋 What You Need to Know

  • ✅ The remote work contract must be officially documented through the Ministry of Human Resources platform
  • ✅ Remote workers are entitled to the same rights as regular employees: leave, EOSB, working hours
  • ✅ Standard working hours rules still apply remotely
  • ⚠️ Detailed regulations for the program are still being developed

🛡️ Your Rights Do Not Change

Working from home does not waive your right to end-of-service benefits, leave, or legal protection — all rights remain fully active.

💡 If you work remotely without a documented contract — this weakens your legal protections. Ask to document your contract immediately.
