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 TC is focused on market relations in the country, the variety of forms of ownership, the adoption 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;
  4. the Labor Code provides a minimum set of rights and obligations for employees and employers, which gives wide scope for the terms of a real labor agreement. Under the Labor Code, all employers and employees had the same set of rights and obligations;

What employees and employers need to know

Sections of the Labor Code

The Labor Code of the Russian Federation consists of 6 parts.

First part

Dedicated to the basics of labor legislation, concepts, principles and tasks of the code. It introduced articles related to the prohibition of discrimination in labor activity, forced labor, the delimitation of labor powers between different branches of government, as well as the priority of the Labor Code over other labor laws.

This section provides a general concept of the worker and the employer, defines discrimination in labor activity and forced labor. At the same time, the concept of forced labor in the Labor Code has a broader interpretation than in the ILO Convention. In the Labor Code, forced labor also includes cases where the employer does not fully pay or forces the employee to work in conditions of danger to his life or health.

In Art. 20 defines the concepts of employee and employer. An employee is a person who has entered into an employment relationship with an employer. The employer can be or.

The second part

Relationships in the sphere of work are considered as social partnership. The basic concepts and principles of social partnership are given. At the same time, social partnership is understood as a system that determines the relationship between employees, employers and authorities. This system should coordinate the interests of the parties involved in the labor process.

Trade unions are recognized as representatives of employees in the Labor Code, and managers of enterprises or other authorized persons are recognized as representatives of the employer.

The third part

Dedicated to the employment contract, which is the main instrument of labor relations and regulates them from the conclusion to the termination of the contract.

The concept of an employment contract includes the obligations of the employer and the employee.

The employer is obliged to provide for the performance of labor activities and pay wages, and the employee must work and observe discipline.

This part of the Labor Code deals with the issues of concluding, amending and terminating an employment contract. It also introduces the concept of the employee's personal data, which the employer is obliged to protect.

In the fourth section of the 3rd part of the TC, the concept is introduced and various options for its use are considered. In accordance with the Labor Code, working time is the time the employee performs his job duties in accordance with the employment contract.

Working time also includes some periods of time classified as working time in accordance with the laws of the Russian Federation and the Labor Code of the Russian Federation. At the same time, normal working hours are 40 hours a week.

The 5th section of the third part of the TC is devoted to the concept of rest time, that is, time in which the employee is released from work and in which he can rest.

This section covers different types of rest time - from lunch breaks to. In particular, the employee must be given a meal break of at least 30 minutes. Depending on the length of the working week, 1 or 2 days of rest must be provided per week.

Each employee must be granted annual leave with pay of 28 days.

Section 6 of the Labor Code is devoted to rationing and remuneration. Concept introduced wages, which is a remuneration for work depending on the complexity of the work, the qualifications of the employee. In addition, compensation and may be included in the salary.

This section describes various systems wages and its regulation.

Fifth part

It is dedicated to the protection of labor rights and freedoms, consideration of labor disputes, including those involving trade unions.

Sixth part

In the final part of the Labor Code, the procedure and terms for the entry into force of this code are given.

Every citizen who has a job and is officially arranged according to all the rules and laws wants to work in normal conditions, receive decent pay for his work and at the same time not worry about the future pension. It is in order that every worker can count on fair work that the Labor Code of the Russian Federation exists.

The Labor Code of the Russian Federation is a complex system of rules, definitions, laws and additions to them. It reveals every subtlety of labor standards and relations. The Labor Code of the Russian Federation is the main document that ensures the rights and defines the duties of every working citizen of Russia, as well as regulates the activities of employers throughout the country.

Why is the Labor Code of the Russian Federation needed?

The Labor Code of the Russian Federation is actually much deeper and more multifaceted than it might seem at first glance. It performs three main functions:

  • Defines the rights of workers;
  • Creates favorable working conditions;
  • Protects the rights of formally employed workers

These are just three main functions that cannot fully describe everything that the Labor Code gives and obliges. However, in simple terms, the Labor Code of the Russian Federation is a set of documents that protects absolutely every working person in Russia from the arbitrariness of the authorities or from other circumstances.

What is the TC RF?

This is a fairly large set of rules, for greater convenience, combined into six different parts of the labor code. All of them have their own characteristics and, in general, are quite different from each other:

  • First part. It contains the most basic concepts, on the basis of which the rest of the chapters will be built. The most important in the entire Labor Code of the Russian Federation, everyone must familiarize themselves with it at least once;
  • The second part. Contains a detailed description of the term "Social partnership in the sphere of work". This part will be of particular interest to employers and will be extremely useful to them;
  • The third part. It has nine sections, each of which deals with various details of labor relations and labor in general in the most detailed way. It is especially important for workers to familiarize themselves with this part of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation;
  • Fourth part. This part of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation considers the features of labor relations with various categories of citizens;
  • The fifth part is completely devoted to labor protection. It is addressed in cases where the rights and freedoms of the worker have been violated;
  • The sixth part contains a variety of additions and notes that will help you better understand the Labor Code of the Russian Federation and understand difficult situations.

Who should know the Labor Code of the Russian Federation?

Both the employer and the employee themselves must know the Labor Code. At the same time, they do not need to know it equally. This is due to the fact that not all the subtleties of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation will be required by an ordinary employee. The worker should know only the basic provisions, from which he should understand what he owes the employer, and what the employer owes him. The employer also needs to know the Labor Code in full, since it is he who provides his employees with everything necessary for work.

Remember that ignorance of the labor code can lead to very sad consequences. If the employer has not studied the Labor Code, then he may violate the rights of his own employees, both accidentally and intentionally. And if the Labor Code of the Russian Federation is not known to the employee himself, then he is unlikely to be able to competently defend his rights and demand the benefits he is entitled to by law. At the same time, even the most superficial acquaintance can give you a lot of advantages in employment, at work, and in case of disputes with other employees or even with superiors.

Story

Code of 1918

The first Russian code laws on labor was adopted by the Bolsheviks in 1918. The main task of the code was to regulate the relationship between the worker and the employer.

The Code introduced the following concepts:

  • workers- persons working for remuneration;
  • remuneration for work- provided in the form of money, services (for example, the provision of housing) or products (including food);
  • living wage- the minimum remuneration for work established for the given locality;
  • preliminary test - a certain period, preceding the final admission to a long-term job;
  • normal working hours- the time set for the production of this work by the tariff regulation;
  • shift work- continuous work, which requires several work shifts;
  • overtime work- work beyond the normal working hours was allowed in exceptional cases;
  • holidays - set days in which work is not performed;
  • production rate- the amount of work established by the pricing commission and approved by the labor department, carried out under normal conditions during normal working hours;
  • labor inspection- the body responsible for the protection of life, health and labor of persons engaged in economic activities;
  • labor distribution department- a body that registers the unemployed and provides them with jobs.

The first code introduced the following duties of workers:

  • labor service- the duty of every citizen of the RSFSR;
  • personal employment history- a document with notes on the work performed, remuneration and benefits received;
  • the possibility of attracting adult male able-bodied population to work overtime;
  • performance of the number of works not less than the established production standards;
  • compliance internal regulations;
  • notification to the division of power distribution and the trade union about the fact of replacement at the workplace of a worker who left the workplace without permission.

The following rights of workers were declared:

  • right to work- the right to use labor in their specialty and for a fixed remuneration;
  • remuneration for work not lower than the established subsistence level;
  • receiving remuneration for work at least once every two weeks;
  • possibility of dismissal own will(in fact, this right was eliminated by the need to justify the reason for dismissal, which would suit the body of workers' self-government);
  • the duration of normal working time is not more than 8 daytime or 7 night hours per day.
  • reduced working hours for persons under 18;
  • reduced working hours for heavy and hazardous work;
  • lunch break;
  • extra break for breastfeeding;
  • weekly continuous rest within at least 42 hours;
  • shortened working day before the day of rest;
  • annual leave;
  • cash allowance and free medical assistance in case of illness, pregnancy and childbirth;
  • unemployment benefit in the amount of the worker's remuneration for work according to his tariff, group and category;
  • allowance for workers who do not work in their specialty.

The Code explicitly prohibited workers from working during annual leave and on holidays. When the fact of such work was established, the remuneration received by him was withheld from the worker. It was also forbidden to receive additional remuneration for work other than normal working hours and overtime. Advance payment was prohibited.

The following funds were introduced:

  • Unemployment Insurance Fund;
  • Local health insurance companies.

After 4 years, in 1922, the code was revised.

Code of 1922

The second code was adopted by a decree of the All-Russian Central Executive Committee signed by M. Kalinin, People's Commissar of Labor V. Schmidt, Secretary of the All-Russian Central Executive Committee Yenukidze in November 1922. The new code of 192 articles reflected the course of the New Economic Policy adopted in 1921, as well as aspects of the labor activity of citizens, many of which have survived to this day.

Compared with the previous code, new concepts were introduced, such as:

  • passbook;
  • severance pay;

The code established an 8-hour working day, uninterrupted rest, lasting at least 42 hours, an annual regular paid 2-week vacation. The exploitation of child labor (under 16 years of age) was prohibited. For women, exemption from work was provided for the time before and after childbirth: 6 weeks before and 6 weeks after - for knowledge workers, 8 weeks - for workers physical labor; additional (except for lunch) breaks for feeding infants were also introduced.

The Code established a list of public holidays, and also introduced the concept of professions of "clerical and mental labor". There was no old-age pension, instead there was only "the right to social Security with disability."
