New regulations concerning remote work have come into force as stipulated by the Labor Code of the Republic of Armenia since November 25, 2023

Remote work is the performance of an employee's job duties without being physically present at the workplace.

Remote work is conducted by mutual agreement between the employee and the employer (regardless of the form of ownership and organizational-legal type), provided that the essence of the work allows it to be done remotely.

Despite not being considered an essential working condition change, the agreement between the parties to perform work remotely must be documented in a writing form

During the period of performing job duties remotely, the employee must ensure the proper fulfillment of their job responsibilities and remain available to the employer in a mutually agreed manner. The failure to meet the requirements set forth in this clause due to the employee's fault is considered a violation of labor discipline.

Foreign nationals working remotely for an employer outside the territory of the Republic of Armenia are no longer required to have a residence status.

These and all other regulations regarding remote work are defined in Article 106.1 of the Labor Code of the Republic of Armenia.
