The article examines the features of the legal regulation of remote and home work in wartime. In conditions of armed conflict, issues of labor organization acquire new dimensions, which requires an urgent review of traditional forms of labor relations. Remote and home work have become not only a forced response to the challenges of wartime, but also an important tool for maintaining employment, supporting economic stability and ensuring the rights of workers. At the same time, such forms of work require special legal regulation that can take into account both extraordinary circumstances and the need to provide appropriate labor guarantees. In conditions of war, the issues of flexibility of labor relations, ensuring employee safety, maintaining data confidentiality and effective organization of work at a distance become particularly important. Research into the features of legal regulation of remote and home work during this period is relevant for further improvement of labor legislation and development of effective mechanisms for protecting the rights of participants in labor relations. The Labor Code (LC) and other legislative acts of Ukraine provide for the regulation of remote and home work, the norms of these acts establish the procedure and conditions for their implementation. A number of criteria are identified that characterize the features of home and remote work: the place of work, the use of technologies, control over the performance of work, the work regime, the execution of an employment contract, working conditions, rest time, requirements for the practical skills of the employee, provision with production facilities, equipment, software and hardware, etc. It is concluded that the current regulatory framework for the regulation of remote and home work needs to be improved. For example, the issues of liability and the procedure for compensation for the loss of property of the employer or employee as a result of military actions for such types of work, the procedure for regulating temporary incapacity for work, etc. It is also important to regulate the procedure for using information technologies, in particular, when objective factors independent of the employee are at work, such as a prolonged power and Internet outage due to shelling of residential infrastructure. Ukrainian legislation is gradually being improved and adapted to new challenges and realities that have arisen during a full-scale war, but it is also important that such legal norms do not violate or restrict the rights of employees.
