The sudden push toward remote work has formed a new reality of the global labor market - mass foreign outsourcing of labor in a wide range of professions. New trends are adding additional challenges for the legal regulation of labor relations at the level of states and international organizations (ILO and UN).The article asks what the socio-economic consequences of the surge in remote employment on a state and international level will be.The methodology of the study consists in conducting cross-country comparisons of the social behavior of employers and employees, as well as analyzing the response of international organizations and states in terms of adapting the regulatory framework to the changed social relations.The results show that the "point of no return" in the organization of labor relations has not been reached yet. The effects of the increased scale of remote employment is observed only in individual and usually very large companies.
