"Today, with the commissioning of the Labor Relations and Employment subsystem, Azerbaijan is entering a new and important stage of reforms in the sphere of labor and employment. The introduction of a new subsystem provides for fundamental changes in labor relations,” Aliyev said.

Further, he added that this subsystem forms a single platform for labor relations for all employers and employees, a new serious mechanism to support labor market participants.

According to him, the conclusion of employment contracts is ensured not on paper, but in electronic form, with the help of this subsystem, the transition to digital personnel records, and the digitization of other paper transactions carried out in the process of labor relations.

Meanwhile, Chairman of the Board at the State Employment Agency Mustafa Abbasbayli said that the "Labor Relations and Employment" system will contribute to more flexible and convenient performance by employers of their work on personnel matters.

"It will be possible to prepare various types of orders, including for concluding labor contracts in electronic form, carrying out operations under contracts, electronic signing of contracts," Abbasbayli added.
