It was obvious that the matter of remote work would not be ignored in terms of legislation. Considering an incredible popularization of working remotely and from home, a question has arisen as to whether the state would exert its control over it. It is to this end that the Ukrainian Parliament, Verkhovna Rada, has passed a law regulating remote work and work from home.

It is worth finding out to what extent this law has influenced the working conditions of ordinary Ukrainians.

Unfortunately, not every recruiter can be just as frank giving away the big “secret”: if a company wants to get the CVs against the clock, the search should have started well before yesterday. The longer the process, the more problems will arise. Normally, an employer keeps insisting, saying, “I am not going to wait for you providing me with CVs of 3-5 candidates.
