The Ministry of Labour and Social Security ("Ministry") introduced the Remote Working Regulation1 ("the Regulation") on 10 March 2021. While the concept of remote working has been in the Labour Law (Law No: 4857) since 2016, it has gained an increasing attention since March 2020 and enabled many industries to continue their operations during COVID-19. The Regulation addresses several issues related to remote working that were not previously addressed by the Labour Law, which will eliminate uncertainties in addition to repeating various concepts already existing under the Labour Law.
