La legge armena sul lavoro a distanza è stata approvata ma non implementata

So, around half a year back remote work on a legislative level was allowed to be performed in more situations. But, awareness of this and the implementation is still lacking. Potentially could be a great way for people to live and work outside Yerevan.

>Currently, Armenia lacks official statistics on remote work. The Statistical Committee informed us that data on remote work is only available in the 2023 Labor Force Sample Survey. According to the survey, the number of people employed in remote work last year was 12,100.

>“However, the data is based on subjective responses from respondents. In some cases, answers to questions were provided not by the employee themselves, but by another adult family member. Therefore, the answers may not be entirely accurate,” cautioned the Statistical Committee.

>Regarding the application of this possibility within the ministry [of labour and Social affairs] itself, which authored these legislative changes, the ministry’s spokesperson, Zaruhi Manucharyan, stated:

>“There are no issues with implementing the remote work regulations within the Ministry of Labor and Social Affairs. If an employee wishes to work remotely and their job can be performed remotely, it will be done so with mutual agreement, in accordance with Article 106.1 of the Labor Code.”
