If there is any damage to the equipment or failure of the used information systems for communication, the employee must notify the employer in the agreed manner and manner. Remote workers have the same rights related to the organization of work and health and safety at work as regulated by the Bulgarian legislation. The employee is also responsible for compliance with the company policy for the organization of work and for safety and health at work, as well as the rules and norms prescribed for health and safety at work. Workers shall not be entitled to refuse access to the workplace when inspected by the institutions concerned, without any justification, during fixed working hours or as agreed in the individual or collective agreement. The working time of the worker must be fixed in the employment contract and equal to the working time determined for the other employees engaged in the activity in the enterprise.

According to the personal contracts with the employer, you can use your leave in the form, order and amount of leave when concluding the employment contract and in accordance with the legal provisions for normal work.
