Companies must also help pay for remote work, such as electricity and Internet. Employers need to list them as "business expenses".
In addition, according to the new regulations, the parents of young children have the right to work remotely without the prior consent of the leader before the child is 8 years old.
The revised law also includes measures to combat loneliness - employers should organize face-to-face meetings with their subordinates at least once every two months.
