Astana's new Telegram bot offers workers instant legal advice on labour rights

The Astana City Prosecutor’s Office has launched a new initiative to protect labour rights and prevent workplace disputes. Part of the effort includes a pilot project featuring a Telegram bot for quick legal advice. The move aims to improve public understanding of labour laws. A recent meeting took place between the Astana City Prosecutor’s Office, the State Labour Inspectorate, and employees of contractor firms under Astana-Tazalyk LLP. Officials discussed labour rights and the proper steps for filing complaints during disputes. They also explained how to correctly formalise employment contracts.

During the session, authorities introduced a Telegram bot designed to simplify legal consultations. Users can scan a QR code to access prompt advice from state experts. The meeting also reinforced that unauthorised gatherings and illegal actions in resolving workplace issues are not permitted. The initiative seeks to raise legal awareness among workers. The Telegram bot provides direct access to official guidance on labour matters. Authorities continue to monitor compliance and support fair workplace practices.
