The new edition of the Labor Code of the Republic of Uzbekistan introduced significant changes to labor relations regulation. One of the key innovations is the expansion of employees' rights to remote work. Employers are now required to consider employee requests for remote work transfer and provide written justification for refusal.
Significant changes affect the procedure for employment contract termination. Additional guarantees have been introduced for employees upon employer-initiated dismissal: the notice period has been increased to 30 days, the list of grounds for severance pay has been expanded.
New requirements for formalizing labor relations with foreign workers deserve special attention. The procedure for obtaining work permits for highly qualified specialists has been simplified, while enforcement of migration legislation has been strengthened.
