Labor Code provides whole line grounds for termination of an employment contract, which are referred to in article 77. According to it, the employer and employee can terminate their employment relationship at the initiative of either party. In this article, we will look at exactly how the termination of an employment contract can occur.

General order

According to the Labor Code, when terminating an employment contract, an order or instruction from the employer must be issued, with which the employee must be familiarized by signature. If the employee refuses to sign the document, a corresponding entry is made on the order. A copy of the order or order, at the request of the employee, can be issued to him in his hands.

In any case, the day of termination of the employment contract is the last working day of the employee (with the exception of cases when the employee did not actually work, but his job was retained).

The employer is obliged to make an entry in the work book in full accordance with the Labor Code. This means that the wording must necessarily indicate the article, paragraph or part of the article.

On the last working day - the day of dismissal - the employer is obliged to give the employee a work book and full payment. If the employee did not appear for the documents, a notification should be sent to him about the need to receive a work book. If an employee who has not received a book on time requests that it be given to him, the employer is obliged to do this within three days from the date of the request (meaning three working days).

Agreement of the parties (Article 78 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation)

If the employer and the employee decide to terminate their employment relationship by agreement of the parties, then the employee must submit an application with a request to dismiss him in accordance with paragraph 1 of Art. 77 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation. Such dismissal is significantly different from dismissal of one's own free will. For example, if an employee, after dismissal, registers as unemployed, the allowance will be determined for him not on the basis of the minimum wage, as for the dismissed of his own free will, but on the basis of the official salary for last place work.

An agreement on termination of an employment contract is concluded in writing and, in fact, is additional agreement attached to the employment contract. It is concluded between the employee and the employer in the absence of mutual claims. On behalf of the employer, the agreement can be signed by a human resources inspector or other authorized person. Such an agreement, as a rule, satisfies the interests of the employee. For example, he may receive compensation for termination of the employment contract, or the administration of the enterprise will refuse to withhold the cost of training the employee (if training took place).

Termination of a fixed-term employment contract (Article 79 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation)

If an employee works under a fixed-term employment contract, then three days before the deadline for its expiration - the actual dismissal - the employer must notify the employee in writing. This means that the employee must be given or mailed a notice of termination of the employment contract. A fixed term contract can be:

  • to perform the duties of a temporarily absent employee (such an agreement must be terminated simultaneously with the release of this employee to his place of work);
  • for the duration of a certain work (such an agreement is terminated upon completion of the work specified in it);
  • contract for the performance of seasonal work (such an contract is terminated at the end of the season).

But there is one subtlety in the issue of terminating a fixed-term contract: if a pregnant woman works under it, then the term of such an agreement is extended until she has the right to maternity leave.

If an employee working on fixed-term contract, wants to quit of his own free will, then he must apply to the head (that is, notify him) three days before the date of dismissal.

Termination of the employment contract at the initiative of the employee (Article 80 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation)

Dismissal at the initiative of an employee is nothing more than a dismissal of one's own free will. The employee has the right to apply for resignation of his own free will at any time, at least two weeks before the date of dismissal, and the head of the organization - one month before. The reason for such dismissal may be any personal circumstances. But if the employee quits due to:

  • with admission to an educational institution;
  • retirement;
  • moving to another area;
  • due to violations of labor laws by the employer;
  • he has the right to be fired without work.

During the working time, the employee has the right to change his mind and withdraw his application. In this case, he will continue to work in his place, unless, of course, a new employee has already been hired for him, who cannot be refused employment for some reason.

If the employee nevertheless quits, then on the last working day the employer is obliged to pay the employee in full, paying him the due wages, compensation, vacation pay, and also issue all required documents and workbook.

An employee who has not withdrawn his application, but does not insist on dismissal, and the employer did not calculate it on time and did not issue documents, is considered to continue working, and his application for dismissal is recognized as invalid.

Termination of an employment contract at the initiative of the employer (Article 81 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation)

The employer, like the employee, has the right to terminate the employment contract on his own initiative. Grounds for termination may be general or additional. The general ones apply to all employment contracts, and the additional ones apply to employment contracts for certain categories of employees. Termination of an employment contract on general grounds can occur in several cases:

  • upon liquidation of the enterprise;
  • when reducing the staff or number of employees;
  • due to the inconsistency of the employee with the position held (due to low qualification, which is confirmed by attestation documents, for health reasons - confirmed by a medical report);
  • due to a gross single violation by the employee of labor duties (absenteeism, going to work in a state of alcohol, drug or toxic poisoning, disclosure of state or commercial secrets);
  • due to repeated non-fulfillment of labor duties (if the employee already has disciplinary sanctions);
  • committing theft, embezzlement, deliberate destruction and damage to property;
  • violations of labor protection requirements that caused an accident, accident, catastrophe or created a real threat to them;
  • for committing immoral acts (for teachers);
  • in case of loss of trust (for financial workers);
  • for making unreasonable decisions that led to the misuse of property (for managers, deputy heads, chief accountants);
  • for providing false documents when concluding an employment contract.

It is worth noting that in order to terminate an employment contract with an employee on one of these grounds, the employer must have supporting documents. This means that the appearance at work in the state alcohol intoxication must be recorded by an act confirming the presence of the employee at the workplace, and by a medical report.

An employer cannot dismiss an employee who is on sick leave or vacation (an exception is the liquidation of an enterprise).

If the employer is individual entrepreneur, then upon termination of his activity, he may terminate the employment contracts with his employees. In this case, the basis for terminating the employment contract will be an extract from the USRIP.

Additional grounds for terminating an employment contract

Termination of the employment contract by the employer is also possible on additional grounds, which are stipulated in other regulations. For example, teaching staff may be dismissed for the use of inappropriate methods of education (these include physical or psychological violence) or violation of the Charter of an educational institution (FZ "On Education"), and civil servants - for disclosing information constituting a state secret or occupation entrepreneurial activity(FZ "On public service").

With whom it is impossible to terminate the employment contract at the initiative of the employer?

  • pregnant women;
  • women who have children under three years of age;
  • single mothers who have children under the age of 14 or have a disabled child under 18;
  • other persons who are raising children without a mother.

Dismissal in the order of transfer

Such a dismissal can only be made if there is a corresponding application from the employee and confirmation from another employer of consent to hire him (this may be letter of guarantee or a signed job application). If we are talking about election to any elective position, then the employee must provide a document confirming the election.

Dismissal of an employee due to refusal to continue work (Article 75 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation)

Such a dismissal is possible if there has been a change in the ownership of the organization's property, a reorganization or a change in the jurisdiction of the institution. In this case, the employee simply submits a letter of resignation. This rule does not apply to the chief accountant, head and his deputy. An employment contract with them can be terminated at the initiative of the new owner of the organization's property within three months after the property rights arise for him.

Dismissal of an employee due to a change in essential working conditions

In practice, situations often arise when, when organizational or technological working conditions change, the terms of the employment contract also change, but without a fundamental change in the labor function. The employee must be notified of such changes in writing two months prior to their introduction. If the employee is not satisfied with the new conditions, the employer is obliged to offer him another job (the offer is also made in writing), which corresponds to his qualifications and state of health. If there is no such work, and the employee does not agree to work in the changed conditions, the employment contract is terminated (Article 73 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation).

Sometimes changes in working conditions can lead to mass layoffs. In these cases, part-time work is possible, which can be introduced in agreement with the trade union for up to six months. If the employee refuses to work in the new conditions, then the termination of the contract occurs in accordance with Article 81 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation.

Dismissal for health reasons

The employee has the right to apply for the provision of another job to him in accordance with his state of health, which must be confirmed medical documents. But if the organization does not have a suitable job or the employee refuses to transfer, then the termination of the employment contract occurs in accordance with article 77, clause 8 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation. The documents must include a medical report, an employee's statement about his transfer to another job and documents confirming the absence suitable job(or refusal of an employee to transfer to a specific job).

Termination of the employment contract in connection with the relocation of the employer to another locality

It happens that the owner of the enterprise transfers production to another area. In this case, the employer is obliged to notify the employees in writing about the transfer of production, and upon receipt of a refusal to transfer together with the organization, terminate the employment contract with those who refused.

Termination of an employment contract due to circumstances beyond the control of the parties (Article 83 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation)

The grounds for terminating an employment contract with the wording “due to circumstances beyond the control of the parties” can be very different, for example:

  • conscription;
  • reinstatement of the former employee (by court order or decision of the labor inspectorate);
  • the inability to transfer to another job at the request of the employee;
  • non-election to office;
  • recognition of an employee as disabled according to medical documents;
  • condemnation of an employee to punishment (by a court decision), disqualification, administrative punishment, excluding the possibility for the employee to perform his duties;
  • the death of an employee or his unknown absence;
  • emergency circumstances (natural disasters, catastrophes, wars, epidemics, accidents), which are recognized by the decision of the Government of the Russian Federation.

The procedure for terminating the employment contract in this case requires the provision of documentary evidence of the occurrence of circumstances, and then, on the basis of the documents submitted (summon from the military registration and enlistment office, death certificate, court decision, medical report, etc.), an order is issued to terminate the employment contract.

But in some cases, the employer may offer the employee a transfer to another position. For example, when a former employee is reinstated by a court decision, the employer has the right to offer the employee who worked in his place another job.

Termination of an employment contract due to violations during its conclusion (Article 84 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation)

Sometimes labor inspectorate violations that were committed at the conclusion of the employment contract are revealed. Such contracts must be terminated by law. The reasons can be very different, for example:

  • the contract was concluded with an employee who, by a court decision, is prohibited from holding this position or performing specific work (in this case, the employee must first be offered another job in writing, and if he refuses, terminate the employment contract with him);
  • the contract was concluded for the performance of work that is contraindicated for the employee for health reasons (there must be a medical certificate);
  • the contract was concluded with an employee without specialized education (if, in accordance with regulations the position or type of work performed by an employee requires special education of a certain level).

In any of these cases, the employer who allowed the conclusion of an unauthorized contract is obliged to pay the employee severance pay in the amount of average earnings. The exception is the situation when the employee misled the employer. In this case, the contract with the employee is terminated at the initiative of the employer (provision of false documents).

In this article we will tell you how the procedure for terminating an employment contract is regulated. Russian legislation what features are in the rules depending on the reason for dismissal.

General procedure for processing the termination of an employment contract

Relations with employees, the procedure for concluding and terminating an employment contract with them is regulated by the Labor Code of Russia (Labor Code of the Russian Federation). In relation to persons serving, these issues are regulated by special legislation.

Upon termination of an employment contract, for whatever reason it occurs (at the initiative of the employee, employer, for reasons beyond their control, etc.), the employer is obliged to correct design layoffs. Failure to fulfill this duty is fraught with various negative consequences for the company from a fine to the reinstatement of an employee at work. Here are the required steps:

  • issue a dismissal order;
  • familiarize the employee with this order against signature (if for some reason it is impossible to bring the order to the employee, a note is made on the order; if the employee refuses to familiarize and sign, an appropriate act is drawn up);

The general notice period is at least two weeks before dismissal. In some cases, the labor law allows a warning no later than 3 days in advance (for example, upon dismissal for probationary period). When dismissing managers, a longer notice period is set - no later than one month.

Peculiarities of terminating fixed-term employment contracts

The employee must be notified of the termination of such an agreement three days before the expiration of its validity. Notification must be made in writing. It is not necessary to warn if the contract is concluded during the absence of the main employee.
