Avenir Guide to Russian Labor Law and HR Administration
This Avenir Guide to Russian Labor Law and HR Administration is a new and updated edition of the initial Avenir Guide to Russian Human Resources (2002). All legal issues in the Guide are discussed with respect to rules in force as of year 2006 taking into consideration also the changes and amendments passed in the Labor Code in 2006. In addition we have considered some of the important administrative regulations and cases from court practice that are able to supplement, modify or even corrupt the legislation, and frequently do so.
Understanding the Russian labor law is one of the first challenges for a foreign company developing a presence in Russia. In Russia the labor laws are mainly collected in Labor Code. The provisions of this Labor Code are very detailed, cumbersome and at places confusing, and will not easily open for the foreign reader unfamiliar with the Russian law and the underlying traditions. In order to meet this need we have developed the Avenir Guide to Russian Labor Law and HR Administration, which gives a clear and structured description of the provisions. This book will guide the foreign legal counsel, HR specialist and executives to understand the living provisions of the present day regulations of the Russian labor law.
The Guide gives a detailed and comprehensive survey of such issues as hiring and firing (with a special emphasis on top-managers), work permits, compensations, work protection, liability, labor disputes and so on. In addition to the descriptive part it contains a glossary of Russian legal terms relative to Labor Law and HR paired with their English translations.
This is a new second and considerably expended edition of this Avenir Guide At the beginning of the century Russian labor legislation underwent a sweeping reform, and it is now that the legal practices are taking shape. Therefore, the Guide is primarily focused on the Russian Labor Code and gives a comprehensive account of its novelties, merits and demerits found in the regulations of the labor relations in practice. Frequently administrative regulations and court practices supplement, modify or even corrupt the legislation; this Guide goes when needed beyond the Labor Code to address these issues as well.
This Guide is primarily designed as a concise manual for investors, managers and human resource personnel of foreign companies conducting business in Russia. At the same time, its clear and accessible style makes it a godsend for students and all those who want to get a general overview of the subject.
