#Labor Law #Remote Work #Employment Contracts #HR Compliance
Effective March 2026, Uzbekistan's Labor Code now explicitly governs remote work arrangements, limits fixed-term contracts to 3 renewals, and mandates electronic employment records for companies with 50+ employees.
Business Impact
Companies using fixed-term contracts with repeated renewals risk automatic conversion to permanent employment. Penalties: up to 200 BCU per violation.
Recommended Action
Audit your employment contract portfolio and convert eligible fixed-term arrangements before Q2 2026.
