Abstract: Spread of information-communication technologies (ICT) transforms modern economy that becomes more innovative and global by nature. Use thereof allows for decreasing cost of production of services and products as it becomes possible to attract and effectively apply resources from all over the world; more rationally organize production and labor process; reduce time for collection and transfer of various information. Implementation of these initiatives increases operativity and quality of manufactured products, reducing the cost and increasing work performance significantly. All this determines application and wide spread of remote occupation, so called, free form, i.e. freelance. Remote work or remote occupation represents collaboration between employer and employee at which they are located at a distance; employee does visit office every day (works in office sometimes or never); employer and employee share information mostly via the Internet. In its turn, freelance is a form of collaboration between expert and employer (actually, the client), at which the expert maintains independence (is not hired; and is a private entrepreneur).Freelance shall be considered as a new form of labor relationships, it shall be acknowledged that its scale is growing, and global economy transforms in such a way that subject do not work for common wealth but pursue their individual (personal) goals. Nobody knows what will happen, but society always adapts to new trends, changes and progresses. Regress is not possible as humanity sets certain priorities for each next era taking the best and most needed for life from past centuries.
