摘要

Technological progress has led to the great growth of remote work, which has changed the old ways of work and brought new legal problems. Laws on labor were made for work that is done in person, but it is not clear how these laws fit with remote work. This paper looks at the changing legal rules for remote work, focusing on important topics like privacy, pay rules, worker compensation, and family leave benefits. Using a method that combines different types of study, the work brings together detailed legal thinking by looking at court decisions, government plans, and talks with experts; with number analysis based on labor reports and survey data from 501 people, including 351 remote workers and 151 business owners. Results point out main holes in rules and stress need for new labor plans that make sure remote work places are fair safe and long-lasting. In Jordan, the study highlighted the revisions of labor laws to include wage equity, work environment safety, and monitoring employer practices. In conclusion, this research adds to the reforming of the discourse on balancing an adaptive legal framework protecting workers’ rights and fostering the benefits accruing from digital labor.
