FAQ

on violations of Labour legislation

What are the most common violations of working conditions?

According to the own statistics of the State Labour Inspectorate, several violations of the labour legislation are usually revealed during every inspection.

Violations are most common to be found in such areas as building construction, industrial production, and trade.

The main ones concern the issues of observance of the terms of the employment contract, labor payment, evaluation of the quality of working space, as well as the order of instructing and medical examination of employees.

When an unplanned inspection of the Labor Inspectorate can take place?

Labour inspections can be both planned and unplanned.

Information on terms and form of the planned inspections can be found on the sites of Federal Labour inspectorate and regional labor inspectorates. This information is also published on the site of Prosecutor General’s Office.

Unplanned inspection can be made in two cases: due to the employee’s complaint or in order to verify the fulfillment of the previously issued order. Unfortunately, there is no register of such inspections. But if you have a conflict with some employee, the personnel service can periodically monitor the website онлайнинспекция.рф (in Russian), since his or her complaint is likely to be published on it.

How should I prepare for the planned inspection?

Since 2018, the State Labour Inspectorate conducts its planned inspections by lists of control questions. Using them, you can prepare your company for inspections on compliance of labor conditions with legislation. Alltogether there are 107 checklists. Based on them, the examiner will decide whether the law is violated or not.

Checklists are lists of questions on which the inspector makes a conclusion whether the company’s activities comply with the requirements of labor legislation. For each of the questions there are possible answers: “Yes”, “No”, “Not applicable”. Based on the totality of “bad” answers, the Labour Inspectorate issues an order to eliminate violations founded or a decision to bring to administrative justice.

How can I challenge the results of the taken inspection?

The results of the Labour Inspectorate check are not final. If there are reasons and evidence, you can appeal against the actions of Inspectorate officials, either administratively or judicially.

The administrative penalty imposed by the Labor Inspectorate can also be challenged. 15 days are given to appeal to a higher level of the State Labor Inspectorate of the Russian Federation, and 10 days are to appeal in a court of general jurisdiction.

Consultation

Common risks

According to statistics, 80% of law firms in Russia have no more than three lawyers in the state. And this means that the majority of "legal consultations" are conducted with deliberate misleading of the client, because one lawyer rarely specializes in more than two fields of law. Also, the consultation is often "abandoned" by yesterday's students and lawyers without any practical experience in protecting the client in court.

In Logos

More than 10 people working in our forensic and consulting department specializing in various branches, sub-sectors and legal institutes (civil, tax, administrative, bankruptcy procedure, arbitration and civil procedure) work. Already on the consultation you will receive a qualified preliminary assessment of the prospects of your case. And you can be sure - our assessment is correct.

Signing a contract

Common risks

A contract is signed, which does not include all options for the development of events, certain aspects remain at the level of oral agreements as "self-evident". "Gray" payment schemes are often offered. Using the services of such a "lawyer", you are seriously at risk of spending your nerves and time - and at the same time paying for a negative result (or in general the absence of any result).

Also, our client always receives an official document about the funds paid to us and can use it to recover court costs

Collection of documentary

Common risks

In such complex cases as disputes with state bodies, the development of a legal position requires not only high qualification of a lawyer, but also significant labor and time costs, because it is necessary to study and analyze a large number of case materials. Therefore, serious processes often turn out to be simply "out of the box" for small or young law firms.

In Logos

In our firm, careful development of the legal position in any more or less complicated case is imperative, which not only allows a thorough study and analysis of a large number of case materials, but also to find original solutions that do not lie on the surface for the development of a victorious legal position.

Attempt to repeal

Common risks

Trying to save and trust your defense in court to a law firm of two or three lawyers, or even a solitary lawyer, you risk that your defender will not be able to physically carry out the whole set of necessary procedures, and his arguments will not make a proper impression. As a result, even with a responsible attitude to your lawyer's case, the case can be seriously delayed, and the desired result will not be achieved.

Challenge in court

Common risks

Protection in the courts is already "aerobatics" in the Russian jurisprudence. To entrust your protection to a law firm with insufficient experience of conducting (and winning) such cases means consciously reducing your chances to a minimum.

Appeal and cassation

Copmmon risks

Many companies (lawyers), using the inexperience of the client in the proceedings, make the contract in such a way that they are liable to the client only for the decision made by the court. Those. are in no way responsible for the implementation of this decision, which may be for you in fact equivalent to the lost process.
