K&A practice in the field of labor relations includes not only advising clients on the issues of labor law, but also active participation in the development of effective solutions to improve the regulatory framework. On December 11, 2019, K&A partner Magomed Saaduev has taken part in a panel discussion of the IBC Human Resources Committee and presented on the issue of introducing additions to the Labor Code of the Kyrgyz Republic regarding the regulation of distance labor relations. Global trends in the labor market, as well as the experience of neighboring countries, indicate the growing importance of the issue of regulating the labor relations of employees working remotely, i.e. outside the employer's office. The introduction of these amendments to the Labor Code will facilitate the involvement of persons with disabilities, retired persons, women with many children, etc. in the economy. As a result of the discussion, the committee members supported the proposals and agreed on further steps.
