Can an employee demand that the employer transfer him/her to remote work for the period of martial law?

An employee has the right to apply to the employer for a transfer to remote work for the period of martial law. Such a request may be taken into account by the employer, but Ukrainian law does not oblige the employer to automatically satisfy such a request.

However, if the nature of the work allows for remote work, the employer may consider transferring the employee to remote work as a mutually beneficial solution, especially in circumstances where it can ensure the continuity of business processes. In this case, the transfer may be formalized by an employer's order or by concluding an addendum to an existing employment agreement.
