Abstract
The COVID-19 pandemic, as in many other fields, had a significant impact on labor relations. During the pandemic, the remote work model, which deviated from traditional work forms, became widespread and turned into a necessary method of working. Although it was practiced until that time, distance work (remote work), which began to gain momentum all over the world during this period, later became a necessity and occupied a special place in our daily lives. Particularly, this year’s hosting of COP29 in the Republic of Azerbaijan has brought this issue back into focus in our country. COP29 has demonstrated the necessity of remote work in overcoming the challenges arising during the fulfillment of labor functions. In proportion to this necessity, the regulation of existing labor relations in different states in the world is adapted to the legal nature of distance work. While the remote work model helps employees maintain a work-life balance, issues such as legal ambiguities and labor protection require legal regulation. This article is important in demonstrating the need to protect the rights of employees and employers in the current labor market and to regulate remote work through legislation. The approach of countries with similar experience – the Italian Republic and the Republic of Turkey has been analyzed, and specific proposals have been put forward on the regulation of the issue in the legislation of the Republic of Azerbaijan. These proposals, aimed at aligning Azerbaijan’s legislation with the modern work environment and addressing legal gaps in the labor market, encompass both the Labor Code and employment contracts.
