The board (Shuro) of Tajikistan’s lower chamber (Majlisi Namoyandagon) of parliament has discussed amendments proposed to the country’s law on promoting employment of the population. 

A meeting of the Majlisi Namoyandagon Shuro took place on October 19.  The board members discussed amendments proposed to the country’s law on promoting employment of the population.

A new paragraph regulating telecommuting has been added to Article 1 of the RT Law “On Promoting Employment of the Population,” Muhammadato Sultonov, a spokesman for the Majlisi Namoyandagon, told Asia-Plus in an interview.  

These amendments are expected to be discussed by lawmakers at the next regular sitting of the Majlisi Namoyandagon.  

Telecommuting, also called remote work, future of work, telework, teleworking, working from home (WFH), mobile work, remote job, work from anywhere (WFA), and flexible workplace, is a work arrangement in which employees do not commute or travel to a central place of work, such as an office building, warehouse, or store.

Telework allows employees the freedom to choose where they work, when they work and even what they wear to work to allow their best work.  Teleworkers may experience more responsibility to the extent that they feel in control and accountable for their work.
