The Law introduces to the Labor Code additional amendments regarding the procedure for formalizing employment contracts in electronic form within the "Single National Labor System" interagency hardware-software complex, the procedure for determining the duration of unpaid leave, and the procedure for calculating the average wage of an employee.

Additionally, amendments are being made to specify the types of educational institutions where employees can study in the evening or extramural forms of education, in accordance with the "Education Law". 

Furthermore, a prohibition is being introduced against the dismissal of an employee due to pregnancy or having a child. 

According to the incoming amendments, during the hiring process, state bodies, and organizations will independently request information related to the candidate's passport or identification ID card, and labor book through interagency integration platforms within information systems. 

 The application of labor legislation to relations concerning civil service employees is determined by the part that is not regulated by the "Civil Service Law".

The Law will come into force from the day it is officially published.
