A NEW CHANGE in the EMAS! What notification will be provided with the employee's start date?
The implementation of innovations in the EMAS subsystem by the government agency continues. On April 3, 2025, a number of innovations were introduced in the EMAS subsystem. It should be noted that the recent changes to the EMAS subsystem should be evaluated in favor of the employer. Recently, employers have been making a technical error by stating a later start date for employees in the employment contract. For example, instead of May 1, 2025, the employer may mistakenly state the employee's start date as May 1, 2026, which is a year later. After the parties sign the employment contract with an enhanced electronic signature, the contract will be in "effect" status, and the employer has the right to cancel this technical error within 24 hours. After this 24-hour period, if the employer wants to correct the error, the EMAS subsystem will apply restrictions. Additionally, the State Labor Inspection Service recommends that instead of contacting them, the parties should go to court to resolve technical errors in the EMAS subsystem. According to Article 294 of the Labor Code, before filing a lawsuit regarding individual labor disputes, participation in an initial mediation session as outlined by the "Law on Mediation" of the Republic of Azerbaijan is required. Therefore, any technical error made by the employer in the EMAS subsystem (wrong termination of the employment contract, entering technical errors in the contract, etc.) requires the participation of both parties (the employer and the employee affected by the technical error) in the mediation process. If the issue is not resolved through the mediation process in the EMAS subsystem, the parties will have to meet in court to eliminate the technical error.
According to the changes in the EMAS subsystem, if the employer wants to set the employment contract's start date to an earlier date, the EMAS subsystem will provide the following notification:
This notification can be considered a warning about whether the employment contract's start date has been entered as a technical error for a previous period.
