Businesses highlight risks from registration to combat illegal recruitment 17:00

“Opora Rossii” criticized the rules prepared by the Ministry of Labor and Social Protection of the Russian Federation (Ministry of Labor) for keeping records of employers found to be providing illegal employment. This was reported by RBC.

The publication received a letter from Alexander Kalinin, the head of Opora Rossii, to the Ministry of Labor. According to the association, the current version of the document indicates that companies could potentially be put on the books for violations not related to illegal employment. For example, the absence of an employee’s signature on the employment contract or the absence of information about working conditions. This, it is noted, would have an undue impact on the employer’s reputation.

The association also believes that small entrepreneurs can make mistakes when preparing civil law contracts (CLA) due to lack of funds for qualified lawyers. Since there are already penalties for this, they are quite sufficient to prevent repetition of the offense. Opora Russia believes that it is unnecessary to include the first offense in the record when concluding GPC agreements.

On August 17, it was reported that Rostrud planned to: format Records of employers with cases of illegal employment.

The planned list could include companies that replace Russian citizens’ employment relationships with civil contracts, the Labor Ministry said. It could also include companies that avoid formal employment contracts with employees.

The ministry noted that they will be entered into the registry based on an administrative offense decision. The case is planned to be related to evasion of registration or, in general, improper implementation of an employment contract.

Previously in Russia instructions given A commission will be established to combat illegal employment.
