3. The Ministry of Social Policy proposes to introduce three new modes of work that had not previously been settled by law: flexible hours, remote work and independent organization of working time.
\nFlexible schedule. The employee is allowed to disregard the regime established by the internal labor regulations, subject to the daily, weekly or monthly work hours. Remote work provides the opportunity to work outside the office. In this case, the employee does not obey the rules of labor regulations and he determines the time of work and place. Independent organization of working time. This form of work schedule will be especially beneficial for managers and top management, when an employee actually plans his working day himself, subject to the tasks for which the deadline is set.<\/p>\n
