The possibility of electronic delivery of acts related to exercising empoyees' rights and undertaking work-related obligations

Abstract

In this paper, the authors tackle the issues related to the electronic delivery of acts related to exercising employees' rights and undertaking work-related obligations. The consideration is accompanied by an appropriate comparative law analysis. Emanating from mutual relations between the employer and the employee, the acts related to employees' rights and obligations are most often rescripts by which the employer decides on the employee's rights and obligations, but they also include written submissions that constitute official communication between the employee and the employer (such as requests, application, letters, etc.) In the Labor Act of the Republic of Serbia, the possibility of electronic delivery of acts deciding on the exercise of employees' rights and obligations is envisaged as an exception. Having in mind the development of information and communication technologies and the change in the mode of work caused thereby, especially during the "coronavirus" pandemic, it is necessary to envisage the possibility of electronic delivery of acts related to official communication between employers and employees in other cases, in addition to those currently provided in the Labor Act of the Republic of Serbia.
