Overview of key changes to the Uzbekistan Labor Code effective in 2026. What employers need to know to comply with new requirements.
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.
5 minIf you are outside Uzbekistan but need someone to act on your behalf there — for a property deal, court proceedings, or official paperwork — you have two recognised options: a consular power of attorney or a locally notarised document bearing an apostille. As a practising notary in the Yunusabad district of Tashkent, I explain both routes and what you need to prepare.
5 minIf you have granted a power of attorney but circumstances have changed, you are entitled to revoke it at any time. Alisher Botirov, a notary in the Yunusabad district of Tashkent, explains how to revoke a power of attorney correctly under Uzbek law, what documents you will need, and what to watch out for.
