Abstract

Advances in the digital economy open new ways of organizing work. Employees, whose professional activity is not associated with personal presence at work, are moving from the classic, “factory” working regime to more flexible forms of work organization. Despite the rise in remote employment in the last decade, such forms of work organization were not common in Europe or Russia. Only the announcement of the coronavirus pandemic in the world by WHO immediately made telecommuting a widespread phenomenon in the working life of society. This article is devoted to the peculiarities of the legal regulation of labor discipline for remote workers. The necessity of recognizing a new form of control over the performance of a remote worker’s labor function is clearly seen in current conditions. The author proposes strategies for employer control over the performance of a remote worker’s labor function, as well as modern software and hardware tools to ensure the implementation of such control. This article is considered to formulate the legal conditions for the onset of disciplinary liability of remote. The author formulates proposals for amendments to the current labor legislation on the basis of the research.
