ABSTRACT
The article examines transformation of the legal regulation of flexible working hours, home-based work and teleworking in Ukraine in the context of the experience of foreign countries during the COVID-19 pandemic. It is investigated that under quarantine conditions the application of these forms of labour organization has increased and their legislative regulation in Ukraine and foreign countries has improved. Currently, in Ukraine flexible working hours are applied not only to employees who work under an employment contract, but also to government employees. The legal regulation of home-based work and teleworking has undergone some transformations from their initial identification to the subsequent differentiation. Legislative consolidation of teleworking has led to the establishment of a new institution, namely the right to disconnect (the period of free time of the employee who works remotely). Comparative characteristics of flexible working hours, home-based work and teleworking according to the laws of Ukraine are identified. It has been found that the legalization of non-traditional forms of labour organization including flexible working hours, home-based work and teleworking under quarantine conditions has allowed maintaining the stability of labour relations, ensuring social distance of workers and reducing the morbidity levelduring the COVID-19 pandemic. © The Electrochemical Society
