It became public that staff were offered a voluntary departure option after an order circulated within the Atypical AVTOVAZ group. The document clarifies that employees who choose to terminate their employment are eligible to receive financial compensation. The deadline to decide is set for the end of August.
The specific amount of severance is not fixed and will vary based on factors such as experience and demonstrated competence. Workers who remain with the factory until age 20 qualify for five months of wages. Those aged 20 to 30 receive six months of pay, while employees with more than 30 years of service are entitled to seven months of average wages.
A severance package is also planned for other employee categories. For instance, women on maternity leave are to receive 60% of the minimum wage each month until the child reaches four years of age or until December 31, 2023. If an employee transfers to another employer, they may count on an amount equal to 12 minimum wages.
Currently, the factory employs approximately 2,000 people. The source notes that these layoffs are not connected to the relocation of production for the Lada Vesta model to Tolyatti.
