Armenian NA approves eletonic labor contracts 

ArmInfo. At a plenary  session on December 4, the National Assembly of the Republic of  Armenia approved the country's transition to electronic labor  contracts, making corresponding amendments to the Labor Code. 

According to Deputy Minister of Labor and Social Affairs of the  Republic of Armenia Ruben Sargsyan, the transition is planned to be  implemented in stages - from January 1, 2025 on a voluntary basis and  from January 1, 2026 - on a mandatory basis. It is planned that the  employer will conclude contracts with employees exclusively  electronically using an electronic signature. 

The electronic system will have to be developed by the State Revenue  Committee, and the tax inspectorate, the Health and Labor  Inspectorate, and the Migration Service will have access to it. In  this context, Armenia may become the first country to fully implement  this system.
