Will The Employer Be Able To Bring Employees To Disciplinary Responsibility If They Do Not Go To Work These Days? No, He Cannot, They Said In Rostrud.


By The Decree Of The President Of The Russian Federation  Of October 20, 21 No. 595  , Non-working Days Were Established In The Period From October 30 To November 7 With The Preservation Of Wages. This Decree Applies To All Organizations And Institutions.


Public Authorities, Other Bodies And Organizations (employers) Independently Determine The Number And Composition Of Employees (employees) Required To Ensure The Functioning Of The Relevant Bodies And Organizations, Including The Ability To Work Remotely. These Decisions Are Formalized By An Order (decree) Of The Relevant Body, A Local Regulatory Act Of The Organization (employer).


Thus, If The Employer Issues A Written Order For Employees To Return To Work From November 1 To November 3, And They Do Not Comply With This Order, Then He Will Have The Right To Bring Them To  Disciplinary Responsibility . If There Is No Written Order, Then It Is Impossible To Hold Employees Accountable For Absenteeism.
