Remote employees: search, selection, registration. Official employment of remote employees What is remote work

- Article 312.1 of the Labor Code

The Labor Code includes the term “remote work”. This is an ordinary job under an employment contract, only without being tied to the employer’s office.

Imagine that there are two accountants. Maria works at the Zyablik company and goes to the office. She is an office worker. And Elena - she does everything the same, only from home. She is a remote worker.

There are no restrictions in the Labor Code on which employees can be hired to work remotely and which cannot. Therefore, if conditions allow, take anyone: an accountant, a lawyer, a marketer, a sales manager.

Working conditions are the same as for office employees

According to the Labor Code, remote employees work like “full-time employees on a general basis.” In practice, this means that the employer:

• gives leave;
• pays sick leave;
• pays extra for overtime or work on holidays;
• pays daily allowance and reimburses business trip expenses;
• investigates accidents that occur during the working day. Let's say an employee falls in the office and breaks his leg. The employer is obliged to find out the cause of the fall and, if the employer is at fault, to compensate for the damage. The same thing with a remote employee. An accountant works from home and falls while preparing a report - the employer finds out what happened;
• provides equipment and programs for work or compensates if the employee has everything of his own. To work, you need a computer, a phone, and licensed Photoshop. If the employee has everything of his own, the employer pays compensation.

The general rule is this: the employer does the same for a remote employee as for an office employee. If anyone thought about saving money on this, it won’t work.

Without a work book, but with an electronic signature

The rules for registering a remote employee are almost the same as registering an office one. The list of documents is the same:

• personal documents of the employee. This is a passport, insurance certificate and educational documents, if necessary;
• documents on working conditions. Typically these include a job description, labor protection instructions, provisions on personal data and trade secrets;
• employment contract;
• The order of acceptance to work.

There are two differences compared to office employees. The first is a work record. According to the Labor Code, the employer is not obliged to fill it out for a remote employee, only if he asks. A request is a statement from an employee with his signature.

Another difference in paperwork is It is not necessary to meet to sign documents. There are two ways to do this. The first is through Russian Post or courier. The employer sends two copies of the employment contract and documents on working conditions, the employee signs and sends one copy back. This is how he shows that he has seen everything and agrees with everything.

Another way to take on remote work is to sign documents remotely. But here, as always, there is a catch. There are companies that believe that remotely is when an employee receives an employment contract by email, prints it out, signs it, scans it and sends the scan by mail. This is not true for remote work.

How to get an electronic signature

To hire a remote employee, he and the employer must sign an employment contract, and the employee must show that he has seen documents about working conditions. For example, a job description and a provision on trade secrets. For this you will need electronic signature employee.

An electronic signature, or ES, is a replacement for a handwritten signature for electronic documents. She confirms that it was Maria Mashkina who signed the agreement, and not someone else. Receiving an electronic signature may take a week and three thousand rubles.

The Labor Code does not indicate who pays for obtaining a signature and generally does this. Usually the employer does this for the employee: he hires ten employees and pays for ten signatures. However, you cannot force an employee to sign at his own expense.

If an employee signs up by email. signature, a paper version of the contract is still needed. In this case, the employer sends the contract by registered mail. Dispatch - three calendar days from the date of signing.

My advice is to sign the agreement at a meeting or via electronic signature. According to the law, an employee has no right to work without signed documents, and shipping takes time. There is also a risk that the employee will forget to send a copy of the documents, the employer will forget about this, and the company will be left without documents.

Remote work format

In an employment contract, the employer and employee agree on everything: how long the employee works, how he receives tasks and reports, what equipment he will use.

An employment contract for a remote employee is not much different from a regular one. I'll tell you about the features. The first thing that should be in the contract is the work format. This seems obvious, but I have seen employment contracts that did not include the word “remote,” even though they were talking about remote work. A suitable phrase would be:

The employee performs work remotely. The start date for remote work is November 21, 2018.

If the contract does not contain a work format, labor inspection Questions may arise as to why the employee is in another city or working from home.

Place of work or place of contract

According to the labor code, the place of work is a mandatory condition of the contract. You can write the employee’s home address or any other address where he visits.

The number of vacation days and the salary bonus depend on the region of work. The place of work for remote employees is the location, as the Ministry of Finance says in its letter and Labor Code.

Accountant Maria works from home, her house is in Yakutsk. Her vacation is 52 days:

28 days - compulsory vacation,

24 days - additional for work in the Far North.

If an employee changes cities, for example, lives either in Moscow or in Yakutsk, it is not clear how to calculate vacation and additional pay. To avoid disputes with the employee, I suggest writing not “place of work”, but “place of conclusion of the contract”. Such a place could be the city where the employer sits.

Reasons for dismissal

A remote employee can be fired in the same way as an office employee if he violates working conditions.

Is it possible to fire an employee for absenteeism?

Secretary Elena was supposed to work for five days, but missed three of them. The Labor Code calls this “failure to perform labor responsibilities" For a violation, the company has the right to dismiss under article 81, paragraph 6, subparagraph “A”.

In practice, you won’t be able to get fired for one absence, but for several absences, yes.

In order to have evidence of violation of the conditions, I advise you to write down the main conditions in the contract. For a remote employee this is:

• work schedule and duration. I recommend setting the total working time to 40 hours per week;
• at what hours is the employee on call and how does he show that he is in touch. In the contract we write that the employee responds by telegram at least once an hour, except during lunch. On Mondays there is a planning meeting. If an employee fails to contact you without warning, this may be considered absenteeism.
• how an employee receives tasks. For example, “The employee’s manager sends work assignments and the necessary information to complete them by email [email protected]»;
• how it reports.“The employee sends work results to the employer’s email [email protected]. The deadline is in the official assignment”;
• additional reasons for dismissal. For example, “if an employee does not complete tasks on time and does not have a valid reason, the employer has the right to issue a reprimand followed by termination of the contract. List good reasons- in Appendix No. 1."
• equipment and compensation. In the contract you write what the employee will need for work; he buys the necessary things himself or at the expense of the employer. Example wording: “The employee uses his own office equipment for work. The employer pays the employee compensation for the use of office equipment in the amount of 1,000 rubles per month. Deadline: until the 10th of every month.”

Details of tasks, who reports to whom and in what format they report, can be written down in job description or in an employment contract. My advice is to describe all this in as much detail as possible. Otherwise, there is a risk that the employee cannot be fired, even if he does not actually work.

Employee consent

The employer has the right to transfer an employee to remote work. This can be done at the initiative of the company or employee.

Employer's offer. If the transfer is the initiative of the employer, he informs about it two months in advance. There is a notification for this: from such and such a date we propose to switch to remote work. The notification must be given in person and the employee must be asked to sign that he has seen the proposal and agrees with everything.

The work that the employer is obliged to offer - Article 74 of the Labor Code

An employee has the right to refuse to work remotely. Let's say we're talking about accountant Maria. If an employer wants an accountant to work remotely, but Maria is against it, he has two options:

• agree with Maria and allow her to work in the office;
• refuse and fire Maria.

You can't just fire someone like that. First, the employer offers available vacancies. There are a lot of rules, but here’s the main thing: you must offer literally all available vacancies. For example, a doctor financial director and cleaners. That's all.

You can fire if an employee refuses a new job - Labor Code

If an employee refuses offers, the employer has the right to dismiss him; the seventh paragraph of Article 77 of the Labor Code gives the right. He says that the company changed the working conditions and offered other vacancies, but the employee refused.

Employee proposal. An employee may himself request to be transferred to remote work. To do this, he writes a statement and talks about the reason.

Typically, an employee’s request is related to the fact that it is difficult to get to work, or they want to go to another city, they have a child, or they need to care for elderly relatives. The employer has no obligation to agree to the employee's request. Therefore, even if the employee really wants it, but the employer is against it, the employee will have to go to the office or quit.

The employment process went like this: I responded to a vacancy on HeadHunter and received test. It was designed to last 30 minutes, but it took me 50. After the test there was an interview stage. We agreed on a convenient time and called on Skype.

That's how I got into Tilda and started working remotely from home. There were no difficulties: I worked half the shift, minded my own business, and then got back to work. It was cool because I used to spend two hours a day commuting to and from work.

Most support guys split their workday into two parts. During the break, I managed to get to the ocean to surf - this really helped me get less tired at work.

Three life hacks to help you find remote work

1. Find out if you can switch to remote work at your current job. This is the simplest and most comfortable option. Talk to your manager and explain the situation to him: you don’t want to spend an hour or two every day on the way to the office, so the only option that will suit you is remote work. If this option is possible, agree on how the transition will take place. If not, think further about how to develop within this company.

2. Write to employers directly. It often happens that the company you would like to work for does not have open vacancies on its website. Try writing a letter with an offer and a description of how you can be helpful. There is a high probability that the company is ready to work with remote workers on certain conditions. Even if there are no open vacancies in your field, do not hesitate to offer your services.

3. Apply for vacancies with office work. Let's say you come across a vacancy on HeadHunter or SuperJob that clearly states: work in an office, at a metro station. Respond and send a letter in which you describe in detail your professional experience, how you can be useful and why you think that you should get this position. But please clarify that you live in Kursk and successfully work remotely. Even large companies will pay attention to the letter if the specialist really deserves it.

4. Features of working in Bali

Seva Petrov

I worked remotely from Rostov-on-Don, but I wanted to try. Therefore, when I found out that Ivan was leaving for Bali, I decided to follow him - when you have friends in a foreign country, it’s already calmer. Before that, I had not traveled to Turkey or Egypt, nor had I been to neighboring countries - this was my first big trip.

Regarding what our working day looked like: life on the island does not compare with life in the city. Now I look outside the window, and there are concrete slabs and panel houses. And there are unusually beautiful views all around: the ocean on one side, the sea on the other, mountains, forests, rice fields on the third.

It seems that not workplace changes, and you yourself change. Your environment greatly influences you. It’s more pleasant to work there, even if the conditions are worse than in the city. For example, in Bali I didn’t have a special workplace: I worked at home at a coffee table or went to a cafe.

We had one advantage - time zones. We could get up early, go somewhere or go surfing, and at 11 am local time we sat down to work - at 6 am Moscow time. That is, we had 4-5 hours in the morning and 4 hours during the break to rest and explore the island.

The Internet in Bali is worse than in Russia. Therefore, when there were connection problems, we went to warungs - small cafes where there is free wifi. And of course, we always had with us Mobile Internet, but it is quite expensive: 600−1,500 rubles for 30 GB of Internet, which does not always work.

When I got tired of working from Krasnoyarsk, I bought tickets to Bali, rented a hostel for the first month and went to a country I knew nothing about before. All issues were resolved on the spot. Here are some tips that may be useful to those who want to repeat our experience.

How to get a visa to Indonesia

You do not need a visa for a period of up to one month. If you want to stay for a couple of months, you just need to pay for an on arrival visa at the airport. It costs $35 and allows you to stay on the island for up to 2 months without leaving the country. The only thing you need to do is to extend your visa after the first month. It also costs $35 if you do it yourself, and $50 if you entrust it to an agency.

After the visa expires, you need to leave the country and repeat the procedure for subsequent residence. In Malaysia you can get a social visa (you need a letter from an Indonesian resident, can be done through an agency) for 6 months at once. This visa can be extended directly in Bali, but you cannot leave the country - it will burn out.

Where is the best place to rent and how much does it cost?

Housing is no more expensive than in Russia, but the quality is better. The average option will cost approximately 3,000,000 Indonesian rupees - about 13,000 rubles per month. This is a guest house, essentially a small hotel. We lived in rooms with air conditioning, large beds and all amenities. The kitchen is shared among 5 rooms. Nearby there is a bar, a swimming pool, and parking for a bike. The price includes Wi-Fi and cleaning once a week.

How to get around the island

Unexpectedly, but not in Bali public transport. Therefore, renting a bike is as necessary here as finding housing. Prices range from 600 thousand rupees per month to 2 million. In rubles this is 2,500–8,500 per month. For 2,500 rubles you will get a moped to move around the island, and for 8,500 you will rent a Kawasaki Ninja and enjoy the speed.

How much does food cost in Bali?

Prices for locals and tourists may differ significantly. For example, a coconut costs 40 rubles - you can both drink and eat it. A serving of rice with chicken - 60 rubles. That is, for 150 rubles you can have a good lunch and drink freshly squeezed juice, if you know where. I've seen that the price of the same dishes increases up to ten times if you eat in a restaurant and not in a cafe where locals eat.

Do you need health insurance?

Necessarily. I didn’t need it, but my friend needed medical help twice: because of poisoning and toothache. If there was no insurance, we would have to pay 80-100 thousand rubles. Health care It's very expensive here.

5. How to organize work so as not to let clients and colleagues down

Ivan Bystrov

Leading support specialist at Tilda Publishing, working remotely for 1.5 years.

To communicate with colleagues we use chat in Telegram, it’s convenient to exchange anything there. From time to time we test other services, for example, we change platforms for scheduling - we try to find the most suitable one.

We also try to meet with colleagues if we cross paths in some cities. Part of the Tilda team communicates in person, while we try to communicate via video chats. For example, on Fridays we hold video meetings where all support staff discuss tasks for the week and say what needs to be added and what to pay attention to.

When a newcomer joins the team, we don’t need to explain that we work remotely - this becomes clear already in the process. We, in turn, help him gradually get into the swing of things. We are only for it if a newbie asks questions and marks us in their tasks. We help and do not burden complex issues on the backend until he masters the basics.

I can give three simple pieces of advice to a specialist who wants to start working remotely.

• Designate an area in your apartment where you will work. Don't let anyone in there within range of a cannon shot all day long. If you don’t abstract yourself, you will be jerked around all day, and you won’t work properly.
• Don't spare money on a good chair and table.
• Run, swim, go to the gym, play football, basketball, practice. Choose anything, but be sure to engage in physical activity.

Seva Petrov

Leading support specialist at Tilda Publishing, working remotely for 1.5 years.

Most of our communication takes place on Telegram. But we also use the excellent task manager Trello. There we enter our wishes, tasks, bugs. And when problems are solved, we add new ones.

Sometimes non-trivial tasks arise, for example, when users ask for features that we had not even thought about. We look at the reaction of users: if 30-40 identical requests are collected, then we definitely pass them on to the developers for consideration.

We have built a small hierarchy: we communicate with users, identify queries and bugs, and pass them on to front-end or back-end specialists. If I need a developer’s help to get a good answer, I send him to a special chat.

Setting up processes turned out to be very simple. I worked remotely in Moscow for a year, and now in Tbilisi. All our work communication is concentrated in Telegram, complemented by Trello and Google Docs. It turned out that everything can be done remotely.

But there are also some peculiarities: while working remotely, I got lost, so I can wake up at 12 o’clock in the afternoon and fall asleep at 4 in the morning. That’s why I can write to my colleagues at 3 am. But I never demand an immediate answer. If they have a different routine, they will simply do the work when it is convenient for them. It often happens that when I wake up, the results have already been sent to me.

Alexander Marfitsin

Content Director at Amplifera.

To build processes when working with remote workers, you don’t need to do anything unusual: you just explain to them how everything happens. Any adequate person can work remotely. And if he can’t, then he won’t cope in the office either. To remain a sought-after specialist remotely, you need to do the same thing as in a regular job: do your job well, be in touch and be able to communicate with people.

6. How to work outside the office and not feel disconnected from life

Sergey Bolisov

One of the common problems of remote workers, which many of my colleagues are familiar with, and I myself once experienced, is a certain isolation from the world. Personally, I have two ways to help me deal with this. The first way is that I artificially come up with reasons for myself to leave the house. Even if I don’t need anything in the store, I’ll figure out what to buy so I can walk an extra 10-15 minutes. And the second way is this.

Seva Petrov

Leading support specialist at Tilda Publishing, working remotely for 1.5 years.

Content Director at Amplifera.

If we compare the office and remote work, the office is still preferable for me. But the secret is that you can’t work in one place for too long. Office the better, What is this special place where people come to work, you won’t lie around on the couch in your underpants. But if you sit in the office for too long, productivity decreases. Therefore, when I was freelancing, I constantly went to cafes, libraries, and coworking spaces.

7. What will help you remain in demand as a specialist?

Sergey Bolisov

Lifehacker Distribution Director, Netology lecturer, Tilda Publishing evangelist, has been working remotely for 12 years.

I have two pieces of advice from personal experience and the experience of my colleagues, which will help me remain in demand. Both of these tips assume that any remote employee is hidden from view. large companies and well-known HR specialists.

Go to public events

At least from time to time, once every six months or a year, go to a major conference in Moscow or St. Petersburg. This is an opportunity to ask questions to colleagues and experts, learn something new, and meet people. This will help you become more visible in your field.

Tell us about your work

Everyone has something to talk about. Share interesting things from your experience on a blog, social networks, Telegram channel or YouTube. If you are involved in SMM, tell us how you used new mechanics in social networks. Tell us about new approaches to infographics if you are a designer. Or show what's interesting going on in your work. Share this so that people around you and followers can see how you can be useful. And when they need to hire an employee with the same skills, they will remember you. Even if they are in Moscow, and you are in Novosibirsk.

Tanya Abrosimova

Producer of the magazine "Knife".

I've been working remotely for a year now, and in my opinion, this is the best thing that can happen to a person. But this realization did not come immediately.

At the very beginning it was difficult when I had to learn to switch from the state of “I’m resting at home” to the state of “but I’m already working.” I didn’t have a workspace, and the sofa was so conducive to just lying down. Friends gave advice on self-organization: setting up a work space in order to make clear boundaries, starting a work mug, and even changing into work clothes. Very good advice which I didn't use. It turned out that the most effective thing for me is to make a list of tasks, complete them and cross them off.

There was a lack of socialization. In the office, between tasks, you could chat with colleagues, exchange jokes, play, and go to a bar in the evening. The large open space was conducive to this - many colleagues, many friends. And when you work remotely, the maximum you can do during a break between tasks is to go to the kitchen to fry cutlets.

If we compare the results of remote and office work, the results outside the office are higher. What was a plus in terms of socialization also turned out to be a minus: when you are distracted by colleagues laughing and being flooded in the chat, the likelihood of working with concentration drops to zero. That’s why I used to do most of the tasks at home, when no one was writing or bothering me.

The article will help you find out how to formalize an employment relationship with a remote employee while working remotely, whether a work schedule is established for him and what the procedure for dismissal is.

Many citizens prefer to work from home, regardless of whether they have the opportunity to visit the workplace every day. Despite the fact that remote workers can perform the same work as workers on the territory of the organization, the conditions of their employment differ from the standard ones. We will tell you in this article how to formalize an employment relationship with a remote worker, what insurance payments he is entitled to, and what the procedure for dismissal is.

Work and rest schedule of a remote employee

If possible, the remote worker sets the work schedule independently. When work is required to be performed at a certain time, this rule is enshrined in the employment contract or additional agreement.

Example of an entry: “The employee’s working hours are set from 10.00 to 19.00. Lunch break - from 14.00 to 15.00"

The procedure for granting annual and other leave is fixed in the employment contract and is carried out in accordance with the general rules.

Example of an entry: “The employee is granted annual paid leave of 28 calendar days according to the vacation schedule.”

A remote worker works when he wants, so he has no days off.

The remote worker worked on a day off. How to pay for this if the employment contract provides for the establishment of working hours and rest time at the discretion of the employee?

Labor legislation does not provide for a special procedure for providing remote workers with rest days for working on weekends. Since the employment contract does not define the work and rest schedule of such an employee (the employee determines the work and rest schedule at his own discretion), it is impossible to count his work on a specific day.

A trip of a remote worker to the office by order of the employer is a business trip

By order of the employer, the remote worker comes to the office to perform his work duties. According to Rostrud specialists (letter dated January 24, 2020 No. PG/37458-6-1), such a trip should be considered as business trip. This means that the employer is obliged to pay the employee’s travel expenses.

Exchange of documents in electronic form

An employee working remotely can contact the employer via Email. For example, if he needs to convey some information or write a statement. Appeals are certified with an electronic signature.

To exchange documents in electronic form both parties must have an enhanced qualified electronic signature issued by a specialized certification center.

If a remote worker needs copies of some work documents and he did not indicate in the application that they can be transferred to electronic format, the employer must send them by registered mail with notification. Copies should be sent to the employee within 3 working days from the date of receipt of the request (Part 8 of Article 312.1 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation).

to menu

To receive these payments, you must send the original documents corresponding to the case (certificate of incapacity for work, certificates) to the employer by registered mail.

These rules are defined in parts 6, 7, 8 of Article 312.1 of the Labor Code of Russia.

to menu

to the menu how to find a job during a crisis
An overview of resources is given where you can find vacancies and work in Moscow during the crisis.

Greetings, friends! Today we’ll talk about the main topic of my blog and find out simple examples, what is remote work, is it real or a hoax. Why is working from home becoming more and more popular and now is the time to learn new activities that allow you to earn money via the Internet.

Remote work is a method of employment in which a person (performer) performs assigned tasks remotely, contacting the employer via the Internet.

That is, any work that can be done at a distance, without necessarily being in the office, can be called remote.

I would also like to highlight a separate format remote work— . Freelancing is when you work remotely, but you do not have a permanent employer and you are always looking for orders.

Let me explain with examples what the principle of such activities is and who will pay you for what.

What needs to be done and who will pay?

Remember, in I talked about the circulation of money and where it comes from. Now everyone who sells various goods or services, do this using the Internet. Because people spend a lot of time here, communicating, viewing the necessary information, looking for answers to their questions, and so on.

To do this, we use different sites, services, programs and applications. Have you ever wondered who creates them? Behind all this are millions of people, some of whom work remotely.

Take, for example, my blog, where you are now reading this article. In the early days, to get it into existence, I paid people to create it. Moreover, I never saw these people; our communication was only in text correspondence.

The first person is the designer. He drew the design of the blog - what you now see on the screen of your device. The designer spent a total of about 2 weeks on this work, and I paid him 25,000 rubles.

The second person is the layout designer. From a picture made by a designer, he assembled a functioning website using software code. I paid him 18,000 rubles for 3 days of work.

They all perform simple, understandable tasks for which they receive money.

There are dozens of different ones, the knowledge and skills of which can be used for remote work.

Who can work remotely?

I used to think that only programmers could make money like this. But when I started looking for something to do, I realized that there was a lot of work here, for every taste and color. Whether for a student or a pensioner. For a long time, in such a huge variety, I couldn’t choose a direction.

WITH complete zero Without experience, I mastered several professions and achieved a stable monthly income that exceeded my offline salary. It took me six months.

Of course, it will be more difficult for older people who do not have basic computer skills. But I think you understand that neither age, nor gender, nor social status, nor geographical location or anything else has any influence on whether you can or not.

I can give dozens of examples of guys who had a situation many times worse than yours now.

In addition, many people do not need to change their specialty and learn something new. Most common professions are suitable for remote work, for example, accountant, sales manager, marketer, journalist, and so on.

What are the prospects?

Compared to regular work a lot can be revealed. But today I want to tell you about the prospects that I saw in my time.

I first encountered remote work somewhere in 2011, but then I didn’t realize at all that you could make a stable income from it. I was in college and had an internship with a private entrepreneur. Engaged in installation of video surveillance and security systems.

He had his own company selling and installing security equipment, which, like everyone else, needed clients. Realizing that from social network You can get clients on VKontakte, he offered me 1,000 rubles a month (at that time it was good money for a student) to invite people to his group.

This group (https://vk.com/club16076182) still exists.

So for about five months I invited participants in the evenings in my free time. A task that any student can handle.

It’s a pity that it didn’t dawn on me then that there could be a lot of work like this. The more unique the services you can provide (make websites, write texts, do design, manage projects, lead a team, and so on), the more you can earn.

Technologies are developing, many companies no longer have offices, their employees work remotely and are located all over the world. It is not profitable to maintain workspaces, knowing that it is possible to hire a person who will do the same from home.

When traveling, I often meet Russian-speaking guys from Russia, Ukraine, and Kazakhstan who work via the Internet for Russian and foreign companies.

If you know English, then the world of remote work is even wider for you. It is more profitable to receive your salary not in rubles, but in dollars or euros.

Technologies are replacing people in production and therefore there is a reduction. Some professions are beginning to die out because they are no longer relevant in the 21st century.

At the end of 2014 I realized this. I realized that I needed to develop, learn new skills, keep up with the times, so as not to spend my whole life twisting wires for 20,000 rubles and not walking up to my ears in dust working as an electrician.

Where to begin?

It's great that thanks to the Internet we get unlimited access to knowledge from all over the world. To master skills that will bring you 40,000 - 50,000 thousand rubles a month, you don’t need to study for 5 years at a university and spend hundreds of thousands of rubles on training.

According to statistics, guys who start studying at ours make the transition in 3 to 6 months on average, with maximum impact.

The most difficult thing is to decide on the direction you want to pursue. It often happens that a person rushes back and forth and, as a result, marks time, starting all over again each time.

It is difficult to give any unique advice on choosing a profession, since everyone has a different level of development and range of interests; an individual approach is needed. The easiest way is to go to school, take on assignments to find out what works and what is generally difficult and incomprehensible for you.

For beginners, everything will seem complicated. Just as it once seemed difficult for me to make a website, a banner in Photoshop, or write an article. Now, having certain knowledge, it will not be difficult to do this.

Also, dozens of new vacancies are published on exchanges every day. Jobs, like tasks, can be found with different levels of employment, complexity and payment method. In the first project I worked on, I had a flexible schedule and piecework pay. When working remotely, the employer is primarily interested in the result.

Conclusion

I hope you now correctly understand what it means to work remotely and what the prospects are here. Study, learn to study, master new knowledge and skills, switch to remote work and travel. Having the Internet, you can do this without investment.

Registration of a remote employee is standardized by the Labor Code of the Russian Federation. In the recent past, amendments were made to the legislation that regulate the relationship of the labor process on a remote basis. Employees have the opportunity to formally register with payment wages and deduction of required taxes, pension contributions (see).

Since 2013, amendments to the Labor Code have made it possible to officially register as a remote worker. The form of relationship in this case between employer and employee is an employment contract on remote work. All requirements on this issue can be found in Article 49.1 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation.

Not all employers know how to hire a remote employee. To conclude an employment agreement, there are some features that must be taken into account:

Today, for many entrepreneurs, it is more profitable to hire a remote employee. The legal norm makes it possible to formalize remote employees under two different contracts:

• Conclude an employment contract in accordance with the Labor Code of the Russian Federation.
• Conclude a civil contract (for the provision of services, a contract, a contract for the performance of work).

The second type of contract is preferable if it is necessary to perform one-time short-term work. After the completion of the relationship, a work completion certificate is drawn up, according to which remuneration is paid.

Persons working under a remote work agreement are subject to all conditions and benefits as for other categories of employees. They have the right to vacation, sick leave compensation, maternity leave etc.

To dismiss an employee, regardless of the form of work, there are general rules. Legislation protects the interests of the employee; dismissal is regulated by Article 81 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation. The grounds for termination of employment relations are gross violations of discipline, failure to fulfill obligations under the contract, disclosure of commercial or official secrets that became known during the performance of one’s duties, etc.

At the request of the employer, the reasons for dismissing an employee are reflected in the closed list of clause 5, part 1 of Art. 81.TK:

• Absenteeism without good reason (you may be interested:).
• Availability of disciplinary sanctions.
• Performing work, appearing at the employer while intoxicated, using narcotic or toxic drugs.
• Providing false information to an employer.

At the same time, the Law provides for restrictions on the dismissal of a number of categories of persons. You cannot fire a mother who has minor children if there are no other breadwinners. An employee who is on sick leave or undergoing treatment can be fired after recovery. Pregnant women are fired only if the legal entity that hired the employee ceases to exist.

Interesting fact! 42% of employees who constantly work from home or in multiple locations admitted to having trouble sleeping.

The only limitation may be the absence of an employee due to illness. He can be fired only after returning to work duties after recovery.
