What is the Labor Code of the Russian Federation and what issues does it regulate?

The Labor Code of the Russian Federation is a set of labor laws that govern labor relations between employees and employers. With the help of these laws, the basic rights and obligations of the parties involved in the labor process are established.

With the help of TC, they create optimal working conditions and there is an agreement in labor disputes under the laws. The Labor Code guarantees employees the right to protection of dignity, social insurance, compensation for harm caused to the health of an employee in the course of work.

The Labor Code of the Russian Federation was adopted on 30.12. 2001 and has the designation 197-FZ. In the process of using the TC, as necessary, changes and additions are made to it related to the new requirements of working life. The TC of the 2016 version consists of 424 articles placed in 62 chapters, 14 sections and 6 parts.

Who needs to know TK?

Employees need to know the main provisions of the laws in order not to be deceived with financial payments, infringed on their rights, including the right to rest.

Employers should be aware of the provisions of the code in order to ensure all the rights of employees and avoid unnecessary confrontations and conflicts with employees. At the same time, almost all conflicts that arise between the two parties involved in the labor process can be resolved with the help of the TC.

The main provisions of the Labor Code should also be presented to young people who are just entering the labor force. Knowing their rights and obligations described in the Labor Code, they will be able to correctly assess the correctness of the employment contract concluded with the employer.

Thus, with the help of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation, the entire range of relationships that exist in the course of labor activity is regulated.

A Brief History of Labor Law in Russia

The first labor code was adopted in France in 1910. In Russia, labor legislation was introduced in 1918 in the form of the Labor Code (Labor Code). This Labor Code, with amendments and additions, was valid until the adoption of the new Labor Code of the Russian Federation.

Comparison of Labor Code and Labor Code

Compared to the Labor Code, the TC has the following main differences:

  1. the Labor Code contains 424 articles, while the Labor Code had only 225 articles. This speaks of expanding the scope of labor laws;
  2. The Labor Code is focused on market relations in the country, the diversity of forms of ownership, the acceptance of labor resources as a commodity, while the Labor Code was designed for regulated labor;
  3. The Labor Code regulates the whole variety of labor relations without reference to any by-laws. In the Labor Code on issues related to market relations, there were references to other laws;

Part 1.

Article 20 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation with comments and changes in 2019-2020.

The parties to labor relations are the employee and the employer.

An employee is an individual who has entered into an employment relationship with an employer.

Unless otherwise provided by this Code, other federal laws, persons who have reached the age of sixteen years, and in the cases and in the manner established by this Code, also persons who have not reached the specified age, have the right to enter into labor relations as employees.

Employer - an individual or a legal entity (organization) that has entered into an employment relationship with an employee. In cases stipulated by federal laws, another entity entitled to conclude employment contracts may act as an employer.

For the purposes of this Code, employers-individuals are recognized as:

  • individuals duly registered as individual entrepreneurs and engaged in entrepreneurial activities without forming a legal entity, as well as private notaries, lawyers who have established law offices, and other persons whose professional activities in accordance with federal laws are subject to state registration and (or) licensing, entered into labor relations with employees in order to carry out the specified activities (hereinafter referred to as employers - individual entrepreneurs). Individuals who, in violation of the requirements of federal laws, carry out the specified activity without state registration and (or) licensing, who have entered into labor relations with employees in order to carry out this activity, are not exempt from the obligations imposed by this Code on employers - individual entrepreneurs;
  • individuals entering into labor relations with employees for the purpose of personal service and household assistance (hereinafter referred to as employers - individuals who are not individual entrepreneurs).

The rights and obligations of the employer in labor relations are exercised by: an individual who is an employer; management bodies of a legal entity (organization) or persons authorized by them, other persons authorized to do so in accordance with federal law, in the manner established by this Code, other federal laws and other regulatory legal acts of the Russian Federation, laws and other regulatory legal acts of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation Federation, regulatory legal acts of local governments, constituent documents of a legal entity (organization) and local regulations.

Individuals who have reached the age of eighteen have the right to conclude employment contracts as employers, provided that they have full civil capacity, as well as persons who have not reached the specified age, from the day they acquire civil capacity in full.

Individuals with independent income, who have reached the age of eighteen, but limited by the court in their legal capacity, have the right, with the written consent of the trustees, to conclude employment contracts with employees for the purpose of personal service and assistance with housekeeping.

On behalf of individuals who have an independent income, who have reached the age of eighteen, but have been recognized by the court as legally incompetent, their guardians may conclude employment contracts with employees for the purpose of personal service to these individuals and assistance to them in housekeeping.

Minors between the ages of fourteen and eighteen, with the exception of minors who have acquired civil capacity in full, may conclude employment contracts with employees if they have their own earnings, scholarships, other incomes and with the written consent of their legal representatives (parents, guardians, trustees).

In the cases provided for by parts eight to ten of this article, legal representatives (parents, guardians, trustees) of individuals acting as employers bear additional liability for obligations arising from labor relations, including obligations to pay wages.

For the obligations of the employer - a legal entity arising from labor relations, the owner of the property, the founder (participant) of the legal entity bears subsidiary liability in cases where federal laws and other regulatory legal acts of the Russian Federation establish subsidiary liability of the owner of property, the founder (participant) for the obligations of the legal entity .

Commentary on Article 20 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation:

1. Article 20 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation establishes that the parties to labor relations are the employee and the employer.

The initial age for an individual to enter into an employment relationship is 16, but under certain conditions - 15 years. For students with the consent of one of the parents (guardian, trustee) and the guardianship and guardianship authority, the age for entering into labor relations is reduced to 14 years.

In theatrical and entertainment organizations and in cinematography, it is allowed, with the consent of one of the parents (guardian) and the permission of the guardianship and guardianship authority, to conclude an employment contract with persons under the age of 14 to participate in the creation and (or) performance (exhibition) of works without damage health and moral development (see comments to article 63). The employment contract on behalf of the employee in this case is signed by his parent (guardian). The permit of the body of guardianship and guardianship shall indicate the maximum allowable duration of daily work and other conditions under which work may be performed.

The Labor Code does not establish an age limit for entering into an employment relationship; the exception is a certain range of jobs and positions. Thus, according to the Law on the State Civil Service, the age limit for being on public office public service- 65 years old. However, even after reaching this age, you can enter into an employment relationship to perform work where there is no age limit.

2. The other side of the labor relationship is the employer. The Labor Code determines that it can be an individual or a legal entity.

Most employers are legal entities. Individuals are employers if they are engaged in entrepreneurial activity unincorporated or enter into an employment relationship with others for personal service and household assistance.

In accordance with the wording of Article 20 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation, employers are also recognized as private notaries, lawyers who have established lawyer offices, and other persons whose professional activities in accordance with federal laws are subject to state registration and (or) licensing, who have entered into labor relations with employees in order to implement the specified activity. They bear to the employees who have entered into labor relations with them all the duties that the Labor Code imposes on employers - individual entrepreneurs. The implementation by them of the specified activity in violation of the requirements of federal laws without state registration and (or) licensing does not relieve them of the obligations of the employer.

As an individual entrepreneur, an individual has the right to use the labor of an employee. The age at which a citizen can be an employer is 18 years. From this age, according to the Civil Code, full legal capacity comes. There may be cases when an individual acts as an employer - an individual entrepreneur and up to the age of 18. Article 21 of the Civil Code provides that in the case when the law allows marriage before the age of 18, a citizen who has not reached the age of 18 acquires legal capacity in full from the time of marriage. Therefore, individuals who are married before the age of 18 can be employers. The Labor Code also resolves the issue of concluding employment contracts for the purpose of personal service and household assistance by employers - individuals who are limited by the court in their legal capacity or recognized by the court as incapable. In the first case, individuals have the right to conclude labor contracts with the written consent of the trustees, in the second case, on behalf of individuals, labor contracts with employees can be concluded by their guardians. The conclusion of employment contracts with the written consent of the trustees or on behalf of individuals by their guardians is possible if the individual has an independent income and has reached the age of 18.

Article 20 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation with comments provides that minors aged 14 to 18 can also be employers. They have been granted the right to conclude employment contracts with employees under two conditions: they must have their own earnings, scholarships, other income and the written consent of their legal representatives (parents, guardians, trustees).

In all cases when the procedure for concluding labor contracts is associated with the participation of legal representatives of individuals acting as employers, they bear additional liability. This liability arises from obligations arising from the employment relationship, including obligations to pay wages.

So that the organization can be an employer, i.e. be in an employment relationship with an employee, it must meet the characteristics of a legal entity. In accordance with Art. 48 of the Civil Code, a legal entity is an organization that has separate property in ownership, economic management or operational management and is liable for its obligations with this property, can acquire and exercise property and personal non-property rights on its own behalf, bear obligations, be a plaintiff and defendant in court.

All organizations acting as a legal entity, in accordance with Art. 50 of the Civil Code are divided into commercial organizations that pursue profit making as the main goal of their activities, and non-profit organizations that do not have profit making as such a goal and do not distribute the profit received among the participants.

Commercial organizations are created in the form business partnerships and societies production cooperatives, state and municipal unitary enterprises. Organizational and legal forms non-profit organizations are consumer cooperatives, public or religious organizations(associations), charitable and other foundations.

A legal entity is considered established from the moment of its state registration, and from that date it can act as an employer.

The legal status of a legal entity is determined by its charter, or the constituent agreement and the charter, or only the constituent agreement. In cases provided for by law, a legal entity that is not commercial organization, can act on the basis of general position about this type of organization.

These documents contain the name of the legal entity, its location, the procedure for managing the activities of the legal entity, as well as other information provided for by the relevant law.

Since the constituent documents of legal entities, as a rule, provide for the subject and goals of their activities, they play an important role in determining the professional and qualification composition of employees with whom the employer can conclude employment contracts.

Among employers, in addition to legal entities and individuals, another entity is named, endowed with established by law the right to conclude employment contracts. Such a subject may be, for example, a local self-government body, if this is indicated in the federal law.

Due to the fact that the Labor Code names legal entities, branches, representative offices as employers, they cannot be employers. According to Art. 55 of the Civil Code branches, representative offices are not legal entities. They are endowed with property by the legal entity that created them and act on the basis of the provisions approved by it. Their leaders, speaking in civil circulation, act by proxy of a legal entity.

The head of a branch or representative office may have a power of attorney giving him the right to hire and dismiss employees, however, in this case, the branch or representative office is not an employer. The employer in relation to the employees of the branch, representative office is a legal entity, on behalf of which the head of the branch, representative office exercises the authority to conclude an employment contract and terminate it. If the head of a branch, representative office is not authorized to hire, labor relations with employees of a branch, representative office arise on the basis of an employment contract concluded by the legal entity itself.

3. Article 20 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation states that the rights and obligations of the employer in labor relations are directly exercised only by the employer who is an individual. All other employers exercise their rights and obligations through management bodies or persons authorized by them. in state and municipal enterprises the governing body is the head, who is appointed by the owner or a body authorized by the owner and is accountable to him. His rights and obligations are defined by the Civil and Labor Codes, the Law on State and Municipal Unitary Enterprises, and by-laws. For the first time in the practice of codifying labor legislation, the work of the head of an organization is regulated directly by the Labor Code (see comments to Chapter 43 "Peculiarities of regulating the work of the head of an organization and members of the collegial executive body of an organization").

Importance for legal status the head of the organization have Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation of December 3, 2004 N 739 "On the powers of federal executive bodies to exercise the rights of the owner of federal state property unitary enterprise"(SZ RF. 2004. N 50. Art. 5074) and Order of the Ministry of Economic Development of Russia dated March 2, 2005 N 49 "On approval of an exemplary employment contract with the head of a federal state unitary enterprise" (BNA RF. 2005. N 23).

In non-state organizations, the rights and obligations of the employer are exercised by its executive management bodies. According to the Law on joint-stock companies management of the current activities of the company is carried out by the sole executive body of the company (director, general director) or the sole executive body of the company (director, general director) and the collegial executive body of the company (board, directorate). Executive body of the company (Director, CEO) approves the states, issues orders and gives instructions that are binding on all employees of the company. Similar governing bodies are available in companies with limited liability. The Law on LLC, in more detail than the Law on Joint Stock Companies, defines the rights and obligations of the executive bodies of a limited liability company in exercising its labor legal personality. Article 40 of the LLC Law provides that the sole executive body of the company issues orders on the appointment of employees of the company, on their transfer and dismissal, applies incentive measures and imposes disciplinary sanctions.

All other legal entities also have management bodies that exercise the rights and obligations of the employer in accordance with the Labor Code, other laws and other regulatory legal acts (federal and constituent entities of the Russian Federation), regulatory legal acts of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation, regulatory legal acts of local governments, constituent documents legal entity (organization) and local regulations.

4. Article 20 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation, listing the basic rights and obligations of the employer, also reproduces the provision of the Civil Code, which establishes that an institution can be budgetary or autonomous. State-financed organization is liable for its obligations with the funds at its disposal, and an autonomous institution is liable for its obligations with all property assigned to it, with the exception of immovable property and especially valuable movable property assigned to an autonomous institution by the owner of this property or acquired by an autonomous institution at the expense of allocated by such an owner funds. The owner of the property of an autonomous institution is not liable for the obligations of an autonomous institution (Article 120 of the Civil Code). The activities of the institution are fully or partially financed by the owner (founder) through the transfer to the institution Money or securing other property to him on the right operational management. If these funds are insufficient, the obligations arising from the employment relationship, in particular wages are assigned additionally to the owner (founder) in accordance with federal laws and other regulatory legal acts.
