An article by managing partner Valery Narezhny and lawyer Anastasia Reznik was published in the new color supplement of the business publication about careers and professional growth “The Career Forum” (March, 2008). The article provides a legal analysis of changes in labor legislation in recent years.  First of all, issues of greatest interest and relating to the content of the employment contract, the procedure for its conclusion, amendment and termination are considered.
“The legislator paid great attention to the aspects of labor relations. In particular, to the characteristics of the employee. The latter can now also be individuals who have reached the age of sixteen years, and in some cases, those who have reached the age of fourteen years.”
The new edition of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation also establishes an exhaustive list of information that must be specified in an employment contract. The article discusses the procedure for the entry into force of an employment contract.  “Now, if an employee does not start work within the period specified in the contract, the employer can consider the employment contract not concluded.”
The article discusses in more detail the following changes under the Labor Code of the Russian Federation: the procedure for imposing disciplinary sanctions, the introduction of additional guarantees and compensation for the employee, a new type of apprenticeship contract (the possibility of retraining on the job, but also vocational training that can be carried out on the job).
