In a letter dated
June 30, 2017 No. 14-1 / В-591, the Ministry of Labor recalled that since
January 1, 2017, amendments to the Labor Code came into force with regard to
the peculiarities of the regulation of the work of employers working for small
businesses, which are classified as microenterprises.
Now such employers have the right to refuse completely or partially from
acceptance of the local statutory acts containing norms of the labor law (rules
of the internal labor schedule, position about a payment, position about awarding
and others).
At the same time, micro-enterprises are obliged to include conditions that
regulate the issues that other employers are regulated by local acts in labor
contracts.
Such contracts are concluded on the basis of a standard form, which was approved
by Government Decree No. 858 of August 27, 2016, which entered into force on
January 1, 2017.
The notes to the model contract also indicate which items are applied (do not
apply) to certain categories of employees.
The Ministry of Labor believes that if a microenterprise concludes an
employment contract with employees, the employer may exclude from the
employment agreement items that are not covered in connection with the nature
of the work, as well as the items indicated in the notes to the model contract.
