The editorial office of IA Sakh.com receives messages from residents of Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk, who are, to varying degrees, concerned regarding whether their employers will correctly evaluate the request of the administration of the regional center
“Could you prepare an article on how people will (or will not) pay for the days of a snowstorm in which it was not possible to go to work, with a legal justification,” the co-author asks. – Some employers scare with dismissals, penalties, etc. Today, when I was riding the bus, I heard such conversations. And in general it is interesting how to be in this case. What is it – forced downtime or do you need to write on vacation without pay? Or take a certificate from the Ministry of Emergency Situations regarding the state of emergency?
Sakh.com tried to call the regional state labor inspectorate, but they did not pick up the phone either in the reception or in the advisory department.
The regional union of trade union organizations reported that they had not received any orders from the city administration regarding the actions of employers during this snowstorm and following the snowstorm. Usually, if there is some kind of official decision, the union receives it as a document, on paper.
“These days it’s up to the employer,” says a lawyer for the union of trade union organizations. – This is a request of the mayor, and each employer decides for himself whether to let his employees go to remote work or not. If he lets go, this is documented as a working day, he has no right to demand any working off. If he doesn’t let go, but a person, for example, is stuck in a traffic jam for a long time, he has no right to bet absenteeism. A person can take either a day on account of a vacation, or a day off without pay.
Meanwhile, in chats, discussing the situation, some South Sakhalin residents write that they do not find understanding with employers.
