Now, according to the Labor Code, a parent who is raising a child under the age of five alone can be brought to work at night only with his written consent. The same consent is required to keep mothers of children under three years of age at work.
In addition, the amendments introduce a new provision in the Labor Code on the right of certain categories of workers to refuse business trips - they can be sent on a business trip only with their written consent. These are mothers of children under three years old, parents of children with disabilities, single parents and guardians of children under 14 years old, large families, disabled people and those who take care of sick family members in accordance with a medical report.
