The Duties of
The Employer
🏠 for Remote Work
-
Ensuring safety and health -
Employers are obligated to ensure the health and safety of remote workers to the extent possible, provide necessary equipment and resources (unless otherwise agreed), and respect the employee's right to disconnect. They must also maintain records related to the remote work arrangement -
Equipment and Expense Reimbursement Policies -
Determining responsibility for providing equipment and covering expenses related to remote work is a key part of the remote work agreement in Armenia. The Labor Code allows for flexibility in this area, provided it is clearly stipulated in the contract. Common approaches include:
1) Employer-Provided Equipment: The employer provides necessary equipment such as laptops, monitors, keyboards, and software licenses. This ensures standardization and easier security management.
2) Employee-Provided Equipment with Stipend: Employees use their own equipment, and the employer provides a stipend to cover costs related to purchase, maintenance, or internet service.
3) Expense Reimbursement: The employer reimburses employees for specific, agreed-upon expenses incurred due to remote work, such as a portion of internet bills, electricity, or necessary office supplies.
