November 11, Fineko/abc.az. New changes related to the introduction of a hybrid work model may be considered in Azerbaijan.

Fuad Heydarov, Head of the Labor Policy Department of the Ministry of Labor & Social Protection of the Population, made the relevant statement at today's meeting of the Parliamentary Committee on Labor & Social Policy.

According to Heydarov, the current position is that the duration of normal working hours is 8 hours: "When concluding a part-time employment contract, the working time is set to no more than half of this norm, that is, provided that it does not exceed 4 hours. As a general principle, this follows from the fact that the Labor Code sets the maximum daily working time limit at 12 hours."

Heydarov noted that at the next stage, discussion of issues related to the introduction of remote work and a hybrid work model may create conditions for reviewing this provision: "For this, we will also study international experience. Currently, there are no plans to make any changes to the annual salary."
