Dear Sir or Madam,

On March 19th, 2021, the Resolution of the Ministry of Labor, Employment and Social Security No.142/2021 (the “Resolution”) was published in the Official Gazette referring to the imminent entry into force of Act No. 27,555 (“Legal Regime of the Remote Working Contract”) which will apply as of April 1st., 2021.

Sincerely,
