Expiration of the employment contract

In accordance with Part 2 of Art. 58 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation, a fixed-term employment contract is concluded in cases where labor relations cannot be established for an indefinite period, taking into account the nature of the work to be done or the conditions for its implementation, unless otherwise provided by the Labor Code of the Russian Federation and other federal laws.

6. If the initiator of the termination of the contract is an employee, then he is obliged to warn the employer about the termination of the contract. Despite the fact that the Labor Code of the Russian Federation does not establish the specifics of the warning, employees can, by warning the employer, give him time to prepare the termination, for example, by warning the employer three, and preferably five days in advance. Of course, the warning must be in writing.

7. In the event of dismissal due to the expiration of the term of the employment contract, leave with subsequent dismissal may also be granted when the time of leave completely or partially goes beyond the term of this contract. In this case, the last day of vacation is also considered the day of dismissal (Article 127 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation).

Termination of the employment contract at the initiative of the employee

under paragraph 3 of part 1 of Art. 77 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation (Article 80 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation)

The employee has the right to terminate the employment contract by notifying the employer in writing two weeks in advance.

By agreement between the employee and the employer, the employment contract may be terminated even before the expiration of the notice of dismissal.

In cases where the employee's application for dismissal on his own initiative (of his own free will) is due to the impossibility of continuing his work (enrollment in educational institution, retirement and other cases), as well as in cases of established violation by the employer of laws and other regulatory legal acts containing labor law norms, the terms of a collective agreement, agreement or employment contract, the employer is obliged to terminate the employment contract within the period specified in the employee's application.

Prior to the expiration of the notice of dismissal, the employee has the right to withdraw his application at any time. Dismissal in this case is not carried out if another employee is not invited to his place in writing, who, in accordance with the Labor Code of the Russian Federation and other federal laws, cannot be refused to conclude an employment contract.

Upon the expiry of the termination notice period, the employee has the right to stop work. On the last day of work, the employer must give the employee work book, other documents related to work, at the written request of the employee and make the final settlement with him.

On the transfer on the day of dismissal of information on accrued and paid insurance premiums for compulsory pension insurance, see Federal Law of April 1, 1996 N 27-ФЗ "On Individual (Personalized) Accounting in the System of Compulsory Pension Insurance".

If the employment contract has not been terminated after the expiration of the term of notice of dismissal and the employee does not insist on dismissal, then the employment contract continues.

Features of termination by this reason are explained in paragraph 22 of the Resolution of the Plenum of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation of March 17, 2004 N 2 "On the application by the courts of the Russian Federation of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation". When considering disputes on termination at the initiative of an employee of an employment contract concluded for an indefinite period, as well as a fixed-term employment contract (clause 3, part 1, article 77, article 80 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation), the courts must keep in mind the following:

a) termination of the employment contract at the initiative of the employee is permissible in the case when the filing of an application for dismissal was his voluntary expression of will. If the plaintiff claims that the employer forced him to submit a letter of resignation of his own free will (which is often done by various employers), then this circumstance is subject to verification, and the burden of proving it rests with the employee;

b) the employment contract may be terminated at the initiative of the employee and before the expiration of the two-week notice period for dismissal by agreement between the employee and the employer.

If the employee's application is due to the impossibility of continuing his work:

Enrollment in an educational institution;

Retirement;

The presence of other valid reasons due to which the employee cannot continue to work, for example, sending a husband (wife) to work abroad, to a new place of work;

In cases of established violation by the employer of laws and other regulatory legal acts containing labor law norms, the terms of a collective agreement, agreement or employment contract, the employer is obliged to terminate the employment contract within the period specified in the employee's application. At the same time, it must be borne in mind that these violations can be established, in particular, by bodies exercising state supervision and control over compliance with labor legislation, trade unions, commissions on labor disputes, the court;

c) based on the content of Part 4 of Art. 80 and part 4 of Art. 127 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation, an employee who warned the employer about the termination of the employment contract has the right to withdraw his application before the expiration of the warning period (and if leave is granted with subsequent dismissal - before the day the vacation begins), and dismissal in this case is not carried out, provided that in his place in another employee is not invited in writing, who, in accordance with the Labor Code of the Russian Federation and other federal laws, cannot be refused to conclude an employment contract (for example, by virtue of part 4 of article 64 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation, it is prohibited to refuse to conclude an employment contract to employees invited in writing to work in the order of transfer from another employer, within one month from the date of dismissal from the previous place of work).

The employer has the right to invite workplace employee of your organization.

If, after the expiration of the warning period, the employment contract has not been terminated and the employee does not insist on dismissal, the employment contract is considered continued (part 6 of article 80 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation).

To terminate the employment contract under paragraph 3 of part 1 of Art. 77 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation, the following facts are required:

1) the employee has submitted a written application for dismissal of his own free will;

2) the application was submitted voluntarily, and not involuntarily;

3) the employee has not withdrawn the letter of resignation;

4) two weeks of notice of dismissal have passed, 14 calendar days;

5) on the day of dismissal, the employer submitted information on the accrued and paid insurance premiums for state pension insurance - see Federal Law No. 27-FZ of April 1, 1996 "On Individual (Personalized) Accounting in the State Pension Insurance System";

6) the employer issued the employee a work book, other documents related to work, at the written request of the employee and made the final settlement with him.

When terminating an employment contract, there are some features when dismissing after a vacation.

The employer is obliged to compensate the employee for the earnings not received by him in all cases of unlawful deprivation of his opportunity to work. Such an obligation, in particular, occurs if earnings are not received as a result of the employee’s illegal removal from work, his dismissal or transfer to another job (Article 234 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation).

Termination of the employment contract under paragraph 4 of part 1 of Art. 77-

at the initiative of the employer (Articles 71, 81 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation)

There are at least three reasons for terminating an employment contract on this basis:

a) employee behavior that does not meet the requirements of the employer;

b) requirement state organization terminate the employment contract;

c) the initiative of the employer.

When terminating an employment contract, the employer should remember that the main resource of the organization is the staff. At the same time, one of the qualities of the employer is the ability to forgive the mistakes of employees and their shortcomings, which can be tolerable. The growing shortage of high-performing workers should also be taken into account. It is advisable for an organization to develop a methodology for calculating the cost of dismissing one employee, which may include all the costs of finding, training and adapting a new employee. Layoff costs should be taken into account when layoffs are made.

When terminating an employment contract, one should bear in mind the ILO Convention N 158 on termination of employment at the initiative of the entrepreneur, which was adopted in Geneva on June 2, 1982, as well as the ILO Recommendation of June 22, 1982 N 166, adopted on the same issue.

Mitigation of the consequences of termination of employment

In case of termination of employment for reasons of an economic, technological, structural or similar nature, it is necessary, by measures appropriate to the conditions of each country and taken by the competent authority, if possible in cooperation with the employer and the representatives of the workers concerned, to facilitate the early placement of laid-off workers in another job and, if necessary receiving vocational training or retraining.

The employer should, as far as possible, assist laid-off workers in finding another suitable job eg through direct contact with other entrepreneurs.

In order to assist laid-off workers in obtaining other suitable employment or training or retraining, the 1975 Convention and the 1975 Recommendation concerning the Development of Human Resources may be taken into account.

In order to mitigate the adverse effects of termination of employment for reasons of an economic, technological, structural or similar nature, consideration should be given to income protection during any period of training or retraining and partial or full reimbursement of costs associated with vocational training or retraining, as well as with the search and placement in another job that requires a change of residence.

It should be remembered that representatives of employees participating in collective bargaining during the period of their conduct cannot be dismissed at the initiative of the employer without the prior consent of the body that authorized them to represent, except in cases of termination of the employment contract for a misdemeanor, for which, in accordance with the Labor Code of the Russian Federation, other federal laws provide for dismissal from work (part 3 of article 39 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation).

Representatives of employees, their associations participating in the resolution of a collective labor dispute during the period of resolution of a collective labor dispute cannot be dismissed at the initiative of the employer without the prior consent of the body that authorized them to represent them (part 2 of article 405 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation).

Each employee feels calm and confident at work if there are two conditions:

The first is a stable position in the organization, protection from dismissal by the promise of the employer. In some organizations, a poster hangs behind the entrance of the organization on its territory - "We work without layoffs." This, of course, does not mean that the employer will not get rid of the lazy person and the attacker, but he undertakes not to fire the rest;

Secondly, the employees were given the perspective of the organization's development, published in the personnel development program, which has three parts: a strategic one for 15-20 years, a medium-term one for 4 years and an action plan for one year.

Only from a calm and confident employee in the organization can you get the maximum return, labor productivity.

Termination of the employment contract under paragraph 1 of part 1 of Art. 81

Labor Code of the Russian Federation - liquidation of an organization or termination

employer's activities individual

To terminate an employment contract upon liquidation of an organization or termination of activity by an employer - an individual entrepreneur, clause 1, part 1, art. 81 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation, the following legal facts are required:

1. Decision on liquidation. The proof of this fact is the order to liquidate the organization.

2. The employee must be personally warned in writing about the liquidation of the organization against receipt at least two months in advance - Art. 180 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation, or in accordance with Art. 180 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation, the employer, with the written consent of the employee, has the right to terminate the employment contract with him without notice of dismissal for two months with simultaneous payment additional compensation in the amount of a two-month average salary.

3. In accordance with Art. 25 of the Law of the Russian Federation of April 19, 1991 N 1032-1 "On Employment in the Russian Federation" employers timely, at least three months in advance, and in full submit to the employment services and trade union body or other representative body of workers information about possible mass dismissals of workers, the number and categories of workers they may affect, and the period during which they are scheduled to be carried out, and bear responsibility in the prescribed manner.

4. If the employee is under 18 years old, the employer must:

a) obtain the consent of the commission for minors and the protection of their rights - art. 269 ​​of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation;

b) obtain the consent of the state labor inspectorate.

5. In accordance with Art. 62 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation founders (participants) legal entity or the body that made the decision to liquidate the legal entity are obliged to immediately inform the authorized state body about it in writing for inclusion in the Unified State Register legal entities information that the legal entity is in the process of liquidation.

6. The liquidation of the organization, its divisions requires prior notification, at least three months in advance, of the relevant trade unions and negotiations with them on the observance of the rights and interests of trade union members (Article 12 of the Federal Law of January 12, 1996 N 10-FZ "On trade unions, their rights and guarantees of activity").

The specifics of terminating an employment contract on this basis are explained in paragraph 28 of the Decree of the Plenum of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation of March 17, 2004 N 2 "On the application by the courts of the Russian Federation of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation."

The circumstance that is important for the correct resolution of claims for the reinstatement of persons whose employment contract was terminated due to the liquidation of the organization or the termination of activity by the employer - an individual (clause 1, part 1, article 81 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation), is the actual termination of the organization's activities or employer - an individual.

The basis for the dismissal of employees under paragraph 1 of Part 1 of Art. 81 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation may serve as a decision on the liquidation of a legal entity, i.e. a decision to terminate its activities without the transfer of rights and obligations by way of succession to other persons, adopted in the manner prescribed by law (Article 61 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation).

If the employer was an individual registered as individual entrepreneur, then the employment contract with the employee can be terminated under paragraph 1 of part 1 of Art. 81 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation, in particular, when the activities of the employer - an individual are terminated on the basis of decision due to its recognition as insolvent (bankrupt) by a court decision (clause 2, article 25 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation), due to the expiration of the certificate of state registration, refusal to renew a license for certain types of activities.

Under the termination of the activities of the employer - an individual who did not have the status of an individual entrepreneur, one should understand the actual termination of his activities by such an employer.

When considering cases on the reinstatement of civil servants dismissed in connection with the liquidation government agency or reduction of civil service positions, should be guided by the provisions of Art. Art. 31, 33 and 38 of the Federal Law of July 27, 2004 N 79-FZ "On the State Civil Service of the Russian Federation".

It must be borne in mind, however, that according to Art. 73 of the above-mentioned Federal Law of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation, other federal laws, other regulatory legal acts of the Russian Federation, as well as laws and other regulatory legal acts of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation containing labor law norms, may be applied to relations related to the civil service, in part not regulated Federal Law "On the State Civil Service of the Russian Federation".

In this regard, the defendant must provide evidence confirming that after the notice of dismissal, the civil servant was offered vacant positions in this state body, and in their absence, at least one vacant position in another state body, and he refused the offered job or refused undergoing retraining (retraining) in the order established by law of the Russian Federation and subjects of the Russian Federation on public service.

At the same time, the offer of a vacant position is understood as coming from an authorized official public body proposal for appointment to public office public service, including the lower one, the duties for which a civil servant can perform, taking into account his profession, qualifications and previous position.

Evidence in cases of this category, in particular, may be: copies of acts on the appointment of a civil servant to a civil service position and his dismissal from this position, a copy of the act on the liquidation of a state body or reduction of its staff (number), a copy of the warning about the release of a civil servant , a copy of the act (certificate) on the offer of a vacant position, staffing tables subdivision of the state body in which the civil servant held a position, on the day the civil servant was given notice of dismissal and on the day of dismissal, a certificate of the civil servant's salary (remuneration).

The dismissal of an employee entails the termination of the employment contract. It can be caused both by the desire of the employee himself, and by the requirement of the employer. Wherein:

• The right of an employee to dismiss of his own free will is not limited by law. The only requirement is to notify the management of the enterprise in writing no later than two weeks before the date of dismissal. After two weeks, the contract is considered terminated.
• The situation is different if the employer insists on terminating the employment contract. To do this, he must have a good reason. An employer may dismiss an employee if documented fact:
  • inconsistencies in the position held;
  • absenteeism without good reason;
  • theft of property;
  • appearing at the workplace in a state of intoxication.

Another answer

The employment contract ceases to exist if the employee wishes to change his place of work for any reason. To do this, you need to submit a document on leaving two weeks before the dismissal from this enterprise.

In addition, an employment contract can be canceled at the request of the owner of the enterprise, that is, the employer. This can happen if the employee does not meet the requirements presented at the beginning, or cannot cope with the amount of work.

One more answer

Here, perhaps three main reasons.

1. If you are interested in some other place of work where there is a higher salary, there is better conditions labor, then you just need to notify the employer about it 2 weeks in advance.
2. But the contract can also be terminated due to the employer itself, if, for example, it turns out that you are not qualified enough.
3. Another reason (I think it is understandable to everyone) is the failure to fulfill their obligations under an employment contract without good reason.

The dismissal of an employee means the termination of the employment contract. This means that the employment relationship ends between the parties who signed the contract. Labor Code stipulates several grounds for terminating the contract. Let us consider in more detail in which cases the employment contract is terminated.

Foundations

The Labor Code regulates several aspects under which an employment contract can be cancelled.

Among others, there are general grounds for terminating an employment contract:

1. Agreement of the parties.
2. End of the contract period.
3. Employee transfer.
4. Refusal of an employee to perform duties under the new owner.
5. Employee initiative.
6. Leader's initiative.
7. Refusal of an employee to work under new conditions.
8. Translation disagreement.
9. Case independent of the will of the parties.
10. Violation of the terms of the contract.

The employment agreement can also be terminated on other grounds, if they are provided for by law.

Employee initiative

Termination of the employment contract in connection with the desire of the employee may be due to the following points:

• Refusal to perform duties at will (in this case, the employee leaves the workplace in accordance with Article 80 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation, submitting an application for termination of performance job duties For two weeks).
• Refusal to fulfill labor obligations due to medical indications (the employee must submit a medical certificate, here he is either transferred to another position, or he quits altogether).

Manager's initiative

When and in what cases is the employment contract terminated at the initiative of the employer? The legislation regulates the following cases:

• Negative pass result probationary period: when applying for a job, the conditions for passing the test must be agreed with the employee, as well as the grounds under which the contract can be terminated at this stage.
• Change in essential conditions: these include a change in the place of work, a change in position, a change in the conditions of insurance, a change in the conditions of remuneration, etc.
• End of the agreement period: the manager is obliged to notify the employee of the dismissal three days before the end of the agreement.

Agreement of the parties

In some cases, the dismissal of an employee entails the termination of the employment contract by agreement of the parties, as this is considered the best way out of a possible situation. The initiator of such an action can be both an employee and a manager. The contract is terminated by mutual agreement, which is regulated by Art. 78 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation.

Dismissal by agreement of the parties must be formalized when drawing up a certain list of conditions. In addition, such a measure should be aimed at repaying the existing conflict between the parties.

For example, not every employee wants to quit if the grounds for terminating the employment contract by the employer are far-fetched or in this way you just need to replace the candidate for the position. The agreement of the parties helps to come to a common compromise.

Circumstances beyond the control of the parties

Sometimes there are circumstances that do not depend on the will of the parties. In what cases the employment contract is terminated:

1. The worker goes to military service.
2. A court order by which an employee who has served in the military must be accepted to a previous place of work.
3. A negative result of being elected to an elective office.
4. The decision of the court, according to which the employee must serve the sentence.
5. Presentation of a medical certificate, which indicates the disability of the employee.
6. The death of an employee and a document confirming that the citizen is missing.
7. Unforeseen situations or incidents.

Important Points

1. Women in position. According to legislative norms, women who are expecting a child cannot be fired, which is justified by Art. 261 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation. But there are cases when the provision does not affect the termination of the contract. These include fixed-term contracts and the entry to work of a temporarily absent employee, the liquidation of the organization or the termination of the activities of the individual entrepreneur.
2. Persons under the age of majority. Termination of the contract in this case is possible only with the consent of the specialized bodies for minors. The regulation of such actions is described in Art. 269 ​​of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation and does not apply when the company is terminated.
3. Persons with family obligations. In this case, there are no reservations. The law prohibits the dismissal of women who are raising children under 3 years old, as well as single mothers with children under 14 years old. In addition, it is impossible to deprive the work of persons raising disabled children without mothers.
4. Persons who are members of a trade union. The dismissal of trade union members is provided for by Art. 373 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation and is carried out within the framework of the trade union body.
5. Foreigners. An employment contract with foreigners can be terminated only upon termination of the period of validity of the residence permit, insurance, as well as for other reasons specified in Art. 326 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation.

Decor

Previously, it was considered that an employment contract can be terminated in the event of the initiative of one of the parties or a general agreement, as well as due to situations that do not depend on the circumstances.

Now we will indicate how the termination of the contract is documented. Firstly, if the employee quits at will, he must write a statement two weeks before the scheduled day. The document is written in the name of the head and it should indicate the reason why the contract is terminated.

Secondly, if the dismissal occurs at the initiative of the head, then a notification should follow from him, which informs about the upcoming termination of the contract. A similar document is sent in three days.

Further, regardless of which side the dismissal was announced and what are the grounds for terminating the employment contract, a dismissal order must be drawn up. This document is an official confirmation that the citizen no longer works in the organization. The order must include:

• date of the last working day;
• reasons for dismissal that do not contradict legislative norms with reference to the Labor Code;
• the circumstances that served to dismiss the employee (for example, the commission of illegal actions).

If the dismissal occurs by agreement, then you need to draw up a similar document that takes into account all the nuances of terminating the contract.

The employee must be familiarized with the order against signature.

Terms and payments

In what cases the employment contract is terminated, we found out, now we will consider the terms in which employees or managers must warn each other about the upcoming dismissal. Everything will depend on the period for which the contract is concluded:

• indefinite contract: the employee must write a statement two weeks before the end of work;
• fixed term contract for two months, seasonal work: the manager must notify the employee three days in advance;
• probationary period: notification of the employee must occur no later than three days;
• agreement with the manager: notification of a person holding a managerial position must occur no later than 30 days;
• contract with a coach (sportsman): a notice is sent one month in advance if the contract is not drawn up for four months.

Payments and compensations to those employees with whom the employment contract has been canceled are regulated by Ch. 27 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation. The amount of payments depends on the reason for dismissal:

1. Liquidation of the organization, reduction of staff: payable cash in the amount of monthly earnings for two months.
2. Refusal of an employee to transfer to another position, conscription into the army, reinstatement of a temporarily absent employee, refusal of an employee to move to another locality, recognition of an employee as incompetent, refusal of an employee to accept new terms of the contract: two weeks of average earnings are due for payment.

Termination of an employment contract means the end of the employment relationship between the employee and the employer. In the current labor legislation, along with the concept of "termination of an employment contract", there are other concepts that mean the end labor relations between the parties to the employment contract: "termination of the employment contract" and "dismissal". These concepts are close in meaning, but are not identical and differ in their legal content.

Thus, the termination of an employment contract is the end of the employment relationship between the employee and the employer. "Termination of an employment contract" is the most general and broad concept that covers all cases of termination of a concluded employment contract, termination of an employment relationship (by agreement of the parties; at the initiative of an employee or employer; at the request of authorized third parties; on grounds that exclude for any circumstances, the possibility of continuing the employment relationship, etc.).

The concept of "dismissal of an employee", in fact, is close to the concept of "termination of an employment contract", but it does not cover cases of termination of an employment contract due to circumstances beyond the control of the parties.

"Cancellation of an employment contract" is a narrower concept, it is a volitional termination of employment relations at the initiative of one of the parties to the employment contract or at the initiative of certain bodies that have the right to demand this termination. The difference between the concept of "termination of an employment contract" and the concept of "termination of an employment contract" is that the first covers both volitional unilateral and bilateral actions, as well as events, and the second covers only unilateral volitional actions.

An employment contract is terminated only if there are certain grounds for its termination and compliance with the rules for dismissing an employee on this specific basis. The basis for terminating an employment contract is a life circumstance, which is enshrined in law as a legal fact necessary for terminating an employment relationship. Termination of the employment contract means at the same time the dismissal of the employee.

An entire chapter is devoted to the termination of an employment contract in the Labor Code of the Russian Federation - 13, which provides for the grounds and procedure for terminating an employment contract. At the same time, the Labor Code of the Russian Federation is not the only legal act regulating the termination of an employment contract. Thus, the grounds for termination of employment contracts, other than those given in the Labor Code of the Russian Federation, are contained in a number of other federal laws.

It should be noted that the terms of the employment contract may also establish additional grounds for dismissal, if this is allowed by the current legislation and does not contradict it. The Labor Code of the Russian Federation regulates the right of the parties to an employment contract, in certain cases, to include in the employment contract additional grounds for termination of employment relations (Articles 278, 307, 312, 347 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation).

Termination of an employment contract is considered legal provided that, in addition to the grounds provided for by law, the employer complies with the established procedure for terminating an employment contract, and also provides guarantees upon dismissal established by law for certain categories of employees.

Thus, it is not allowed to dismiss an employee at the initiative of the employer during the period of his temporary disability and during his vacation (part 3 of article 81 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation), pregnant women, as well as women with children under the age of three, single mothers raising a child under the age of 14 years (a disabled child under eighteen years of age), other persons raising these children without a mother, at the initiative of the employer, is not allowed (with the exception of dismissal under clause 1, sub-clause "a" clause 3, clause 5-8, 10 and 11 article 81 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation).

The dismissal of an employee under paragraph 5 of Article 82 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation is carried out taking into account the reasoned opinion of the elected trade union body of this organization in accordance with Art. 373 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation.

The employer has the right to terminate the employment contract no later than one month from the date of receipt of the reasoned opinion of the elected trade union body.

Consideration of the opinion of the trade union body is not required if an employee who is not a member of a trade union is dismissed or the organization has a trade union, but the employee is connected by membership relations with another trade union that does not have a primary trade union body in this organization.

Representatives of employees participating in collective bargaining, during the period of their conduct, cannot be dismissed at the initiative of the employer without the prior consent of the body. Authorizing them to represent, except in cases of termination of the employment contract for committing a misdemeanor, for which, in accordance with the Labor Code of the Russian Federation, other federal laws provide for dismissal from work.

Termination of an employment contract with an employee under the age of 18 at the initiative of the employer (except in cases of liquidation of the organization), in addition to observing the general procedure, is allowed only with the consent of the relevant state labor inspectorate and the commission on minors.

According to Art. 374 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation dismissal at the initiative of the employer in accordance with paragraph 2, sub. "b" paragraph 3 and paragraph 5 of Art. 81 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation of heads (their deputies) of the elected trade union collegial bodies of the organization, its structural divisions (not lower than the shop and equated to them), not released from their main work, in addition to the general procedure, dismissal is allowed only with the prior consent of the relevant higher elected trade union body.

However, the provisions of the first part of Art. 374 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation are subject to application in accordance with the constitutional and legal meaning identified in the ruling of the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation dated December 4, 2003 No. 235 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation and paragraph 3 of Art. 25 of the Federal Law “On Trade Unions, Their Rights and Guarantees of Activity”, which recognized the norms contained in federal laws and prohibiting the dismissal of an employee who has committed an unlawful act, which is a legal basis for terminating an employment contract at the initiative of the employer, to be inconsistent with the Constitution. The establishment in the Labor Code of the Russian Federation of guarantees for an employee upon his dismissal for repeated failure to perform labor duties without good reason, if he has a disciplinary sanction, is a disproportionate restriction of the rights of the employer as a party to the employment contract and at the same time the subject of economic activity and the owner. This kind of restriction is not due to the need to protect the rights and freedoms enshrined in Art. 30 (part 1), 37 (part 1) and 38 (part 1 and 2) of the Constitution of the Russian Federation, violates the code of economic (entrepreneurial) activity, property rights, distorts the essence of the principle of freedom of labor and therefore contradicts the provisions of Art. 8, 34 (part 1), 35 (part 2), 37 (part 1) and 55 (part 3) of the Constitution of the Russian Federation.

General grounds for termination of an employment contract.

General grounds for termination of an employment contract are contained in Article 77 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation

The grounds for termination of an employment contract are:

1) agreement of the parties (Article 78 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation);

2) the expiration of the term of the employment contract (Article 79 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation), except in cases where the employment relationship actually continues and none of the parties has demanded their termination;

3) termination of the employment contract at the initiative of the employee (Article 80 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation);

4) termination of the employment contract at the initiative of the employer (Articles 71 and 81 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation);

5) transfer of an employee at his request or with his consent to work for another employer or transfer to elective work (position);

6) the employee's refusal to continue working in connection with a change in the owner of the organization's property, with a change in the jurisdiction (subordination) of the organization or its reorganization (Article 75 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation);

7) the employee's refusal to continue work in connection with a change in the terms of the employment contract determined by the parties (part four of Article 74 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation);

8) the employee's refusal to transfer to another job, which is necessary for him in accordance with a medical certificate issued in the manner established by federal laws and other regulatory legal acts of the Russian Federation, or the absence of an appropriate job for the employer (parts three and four of Article 73 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation);

9) the employee's refusal to be transferred to work in another locality together with the employer (part one of Article 72.1 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation);

10) circumstances beyond the control of the parties (Article 83 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation);

11) violation of the rules for concluding an employment contract established by the Labor Code of the Russian Federation or other federal law, if this violation excludes the possibility of continuing work (Article 84 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation).

An employment contract may also be terminated on other grounds provided for by the Labor Code of the Russian Federation and other federal laws.

Termination of an employment contract by agreement of the parties implies the mutual desire of the employee and the employer to terminate the employment contract (Article 79 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation). The employment contract is terminated at the time agreed by the parties, that is, at any time. The agreement on termination of the employment contract does not exclude the possibility of dismissal of the employee at his own request or, if there are grounds for this, at the initiative of the employer.

Termination of the employment contract at the initiative of the employee implies the desire to terminate the employment contract of one party (employee), and the employer is obliged to terminate relations with the employee after the warning period has expired.

The employee has the right to terminate the employment contract by notifying the employer in writing no later than two weeks in advance, unless another period is established by the Labor Code of the Russian Federation or other federal law. The specified period begins the next day after the employer receives the employee's application for dismissal.

By agreement between the employee and the employer, the employment contract may be terminated even before the expiration of the notice of dismissal.

In cases where the employee’s application for dismissal on his own initiative (of his own free will) is due to the impossibility of continuing his work (enrollment in an educational institution, retirement and other cases), as well as in cases of established violation by the employer of labor legislation and other regulatory legal acts, containing norms of labor law, local regulations, terms of a collective agreement, agreement or employment contract, the employer is obliged to terminate the employment contract within the period specified in the employee's application.

Prior to the expiration of the notice of dismissal, the employee has the right to withdraw his application at any time. Dismissal in this case is not carried out if another employee is not invited to his place in writing, who, in accordance with the Labor Code of the Russian Federation and other federal laws, cannot be refused to conclude an employment contract.

The employer, before the expiration of the notice of dismissal, is not deprived of the right to dismiss the employee if he has committed an offense that is the basis for dismissal.

Upon the expiry of the termination notice period, the employee has the right to stop work. On the last day of work, the employer is obliged to give the employee a work book, other documents related to work, at the written request of the employee, and make the final settlement with him.

If the employment contract has not been terminated after the expiration of the term of notice of dismissal and the employee does not insist on dismissal, then the employment contract continues.

The right to terminate the employment contract at the initiative of the employee is granted not only to the employee who has concluded an employment contract for an indefinite period, but also to the employee working under a fixed-term employment contract.

If an application for termination of an employment contract is submitted by an employee who has not reached the age of 18, the consent of the relevant state labor inspectorate and the commission on minors must first be obtained.

Resolution of the Plenum of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation No. 2 dated March 17, 2004 contains a provision explaining to the courts the issues of application of legislation governing the termination of an employment contract at the initiative of an employee concluded for an indefinite period, as well as a fixed-term employment contract (clause 3 of article 77, article 80 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation ). Keep in mind the following:

a) termination of the employment contract at the initiative of the employee is permissible in the case when the filing of an application for dismissal was his voluntary expression of will. If the plaintiff claims that the employer forced him to submit a resignation letter of his own free will, then this circumstance is subject to verification and the obligation to prove it rests with the employee;

b) the employment contract may be terminated at the initiative of the employee and before the expiration of the two-week notice period for dismissal by agreement between the employee and the employer.

An employment contract may be terminated at the initiative of the employer in the following cases:

5) repeated non-performance by an employee without good reason of labor duties, if he has a disciplinary sanction;

6) a single gross violation of labor duties by an employee:

c) disclosure of legally protected secrets (state, commercial, official and other), which became known to the employee in connection with the performance of his labor duties, including the disclosure of personal data of another employee;

d) committing at the place of work theft (including small) property of others, embezzlement, its deliberate destruction or damage, established by a court verdict that has entered into legal force or a decision of a judge, body, official authorized to consider cases of administrative offenses;

e) a violation by an employee of labor protection requirements established by the labor protection commission or the labor protection commissioner, if this violation entailed serious consequences (accident at work, accident, catastrophe) or knowingly created a real threat of such consequences;

7) the commission of guilty actions by an employee directly serving monetary or commodity values, if these actions give rise to a loss of confidence in him on the part of the employer;

8) commission by an employee performing educational functions of an immoral offense incompatible with the continuation of this work;

9) making an unreasonable decision by the head of the organization (branch, representative office), his deputies and the chief accountant, which entailed a violation of the safety of property, its unlawful use or other damage to the property of the organization;

10) a single gross violation by the head of the organization (branch, representative office), his deputies of their labor duties;

11) submission by the employee to the employer of false documents when concluding an employment contract;

12) is no longer valid.

13) provided for by the employment contract with the head of the organization, members of the collegial executive body of the organization;

14) in other cases established by the Labor Code of the Russian Federation and other federal laws.

The certification procedure (clause 3 of part one of this article) is established by labor legislation and other regulatory legal acts containing labor law norms, local regulations adopted taking into account the opinion of the representative body of employees.

Dismissal on the grounds provided for in paragraph 2 or 3 of part one of this article is allowed if it is impossible to transfer the employee with his written consent to another job available to the employer (as vacant position or work corresponding to the qualifications of the employee, as well as a vacant lower position or lower paid job) that the employee can perform taking into account his state of health. At the same time, the employer is obliged to offer the employee all the vacancies that meet the specified requirements that he has in the given area. The employer is obliged to offer vacancies in other localities, if it is provided for by the collective agreement, agreements, labor contract.

In the event of termination of the activities of a branch, representative office or other separate structural subdivision of an organization located in another locality, termination of employment contracts with employees of this subdivision is carried out according to the rules provided for in cases of liquidation of the organization.

Dismissal of an employee on the grounds provided for in paragraph 7 or 8 of part one of this article, in cases where the guilty actions that give grounds for the loss of confidence, or, accordingly, an immoral offense were committed by the employee outside the place of work or at the place of work, but not in connection with the performance of labor duties, is not allowed later than one year from the date of discovery of the misconduct by the employer.

It is not allowed to dismiss an employee at the initiative of the employer (with the exception of the case of liquidation of the organization or termination of activity by an individual entrepreneur) during the period of his temporary disability and during the period of vacation.

When considering a case on the reinstatement of a person whose employment contract was terminated at the initiative of the employer, the obligation to prove the existence of a legal basis for dismissal and compliance with the established procedure for dismissal rests with the employer.

When considering reinstatement cases, it should be borne in mind that when implementing the guarantees provided by the Labor Code of the Russian Federation to employees in the event of termination of an employment contract with them, the general legal principle of the inadmissibility of abuse of the right, including by the employees themselves, must be observed. In particular, it is unacceptable for an employee to conceal temporary disability at the time of his dismissal from work or the fact that he is a member of a trade union or the head (his deputy) of an elected trade union collegial body of an organization, its structural divisions (not lower than shop and equated to them), not released from the main job, when the decision on the issue of dismissal should be made in compliance with the procedure for taking into account the reasoned opinion of the elected trade union body of the organization or, accordingly, with the prior consent of the higher elected trade union body.

If the court establishes that the employee has abused the right, the court may refuse to satisfy his claim for reinstatement (changing the date of dismissal at the request of the employee dismissed during the period of temporary incapacity for work), since in this case the employer should not be responsible for the adverse consequences that occurred as a result of dishonest actions on the part of the employee (clause 27 of the Resolution of the Plenum of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation No. 2 dated March 17, 2004).

As a general rule, the parties cannot include in the employment contract additional grounds for the dismissal of employees other than those provided for in the law, as this can be considered as a decrease in the level of guarantees for employees. In accordance with Part 2 of Art. 9 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation, labor contracts cannot contain conditions that restrict the rights or reduce the level of guarantees for employees in comparison with those established by labor legislation and other regulatory legal acts containing labor law norms. If such conditions are included in the employment contract, then they are not subject to application.

Termination of an employment contract at the initiative of the employer with pregnant women is not allowed, except in cases of liquidation of the organization or termination of activity by an individual entrepreneur.

Part 1 Art. 261 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation prohibits the dismissal of pregnant women at the initiative of the employer. The prohibition on dismissal applies to all grounds for dismissal at the initiative of the employer, specified both in the Labor Code of the Russian Federation and in other federal laws.

The dismissal of a pregnant woman on other grounds not related to the initiative of the employer, including due to circumstances beyond the control of the parties to the employment contract (Article 83 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation) and in case of violation of the rules for hiring (Article 84 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation), is carried out in general order.

In the event of the expiration of a fixed-term employment contract during the woman's pregnancy, the employer is obliged, upon her written application and upon presentation of a medical certificate confirming the state of pregnancy, to extend the validity of the employment contract until the end of pregnancy. A woman whose employment contract has been extended until the end of pregnancy is obliged, at the request of the employer, but not more than once every three months, to provide a medical certificate confirming the state of pregnancy. If at the same time the woman actually continues to work after the end of pregnancy, then the employer has the right to terminate the employment contract with her due to its expiration within a week from the day when the employer found out or should have found out about the fact of the end of pregnancy.

An employment contract extended in this way, by virtue of a direct indication of the law, does not cease to be urgent. At the same time, a woman is provided with all the benefits to which she is entitled in connection with pregnancy, including the right to transfer to another job and to be released from work while maintaining average earnings if such a transfer is impossible.

It is allowed to dismiss a woman due to the expiration of the employment contract during her pregnancy, if the employment contract was concluded for the duration of the duties of the absent employee and it is impossible, with the written consent of the woman, to transfer her before the end of pregnancy to another job available to the employer (as a vacant position or job, corresponding to the woman's qualifications, as well as a vacant lower position or lower-paid job) that a woman can perform, taking into account her state of health. At the same time, the employer is obliged to offer her all the vacancies that meet the specified requirements that he has in the given area. The employer is obliged to offer vacancies in other localities, if it is provided for by the collective agreement, agreements, labor contract.

Termination of an employment contract with women with children under the age of three, single mothers raising a child under the age of fourteen (a disabled child up to eighteen years), other persons raising these children without a mother, at the initiative of the employer is not allowed (with the exception of dismissal on the grounds provided for in paragraphs 1, 5 - 8, 10 or 11 of the first part of Article 81 or paragraph 2 of Article 336 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation).";

3) non-election to office;

This basis applies to those employees who were not elected to a position for the second time for their position, although they applied for it. If the employee did not submit documents for election to the position, then he is dismissed due to the expiration of the employment contract under paragraph 2 of part 1 of Art. 77 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation.

4) condemnation of the employee to a punishment that precludes the continuation of the previous work, in accordance with a court verdict that has entered into force;

5) recognition of the employee as completely incapable of labor activity in accordance with a medical report issued in accordance with the procedure established by federal laws and other regulatory legal acts of the Russian Federation;

7) the onset of emergency circumstances that prevent the continuation of labor relations (military operations, catastrophe, natural disaster, major accident, epidemic and other emergency circumstances), if this circumstance is recognized by a decision of the Government of the Russian Federation or a public authority of the relevant subject of the Russian Federation;

8) disqualification or other administrative punishment, excluding the possibility of the employee fulfilling obligations under an employment contract;

9) expiration, suspension for a period of more than two months or deprivation of an employee of a special right (license, right to drive a vehicle, the right to carry weapons, other special rights) in accordance with federal laws and other regulatory legal acts of the Russian Federation, if this entails the impossibility of the employee to fulfill the obligations under the employment contract;
