A survey of scientific-pedagogical staff on the empirical dimension of the change in the time spent on the implementation of types of work in the pandemic period was carried out. The analysis of the study findings showed that the norms of working time for certain types of labor performed by scientific-pedagogical employees under the conditions of remote learning need to be increased taking into account the working peculiarities and conditions. Additional types of labor of scientific-pedagogical employees, which appeared as a result of the introduction of mixed form of training, are identified, these are associated mainly with the organization of various forms of remote learning. Based on the results of the research, the conclusions about the impact of the pandemic on the quality of labor life of scientific-pedagogical employees are formulated and the main ways to increase this quality are determined. The need for significantly new forms of labor organization in the conditions of a remote format of training is determined. New challenges that can lead to professional burnout and stress of scientific-pedagogical staff in the absence of timely correction of working time standards are outlined. It is substantiated that bringing the norms of working time in line with the new realities of the pandemic period through the rational use of working time will improve the working conditions of scientific-pedagogical employees, and, accordingly, the quality of their labor life.
