Medical books

Data on mandatory preliminary and periodic medical examinations of culinary specialists must be entered in personal medical books **.

Personal medical books are issued by the employer in the center of hygiene and epidemiology in the following order:

  • sends to the Department of Rospotrebnadzor of the constituent entity of the Russian Federation an application for professional hygienic training and certification;
  • enters into an agreement;
  • registers and receives personal medical books;
  • conducts preliminary (when applying for a job) and periodic medical examinations in territorial medical institutions (under contracts) with the results recorded in medical books;
  • sends employees for professional hygienic training (training) and certification to the territorial bodies of Rospotrebnadzor (the results of certification are entered into a personal medical book and holograms are put).

A completed personal medical book is issued to the employee, but must be deposited with the employer. In exceptional cases (if the employee performs his labor function at remote points), it is allowed to transfer a personal medical book to the employee's hands. Upon dismissal and transfer to another employer, the personal medical book remains with the employee.

Quite often can be found in the section mandatory requirements job advertisements “Having a medical book” is mandatory. Be careful, in the event of a hand-made book, a missed period of periodic examination or the absence of at least one of the necessary analyzes, it is the employing organization that will suffer in the first place. The medical book is invalid if at least one examination in it is not done with the frequency determined by normative document. Representatives of control and supervisory authorities can not only suspend employees from work and issue a fine, but also suspend your activities.

We advise you to make copies of the medical books of employees and keep them in personal files or in a separate folder. In case of loss of the book, the employee should be immediately suspended from work (Article 76 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation), and then sent to the territorial body of Rospotrebnadzor to restore the book.

We quote the law

  • comply with the requirements of sanitary legislation, as well as resolutions, instructions and sanitary and epidemiological conclusions exercising state sanitary and epidemiological supervision officials;

  • carry out hygienic training of employees

The peaceful and noble profession of a cook has always been associated with beautiful and fragrant dishes, as well as a snow-white cap of a smiling fat man. But hiring a cook is fraught with a number of nuances that are associated with compliance with sanitary legislation and requirements for the position of a cook.

Requirements for a candidate

There are a number of requirements for the profession of a cook, which primarily relate to professional skills and experience. After all, a cook every day, at the same time, will do almost the same routine and monotonous work. At the same time, the result of his work - the taste of the prepared dish, every day must justify the expectations of the consumer. In addition, the ability to maintain attentiveness throughout the working day is important, because most often a chef prepares several dishes at the same time, and one wrong movement with a pepper pot can ruin the results of a long and painstaking work. Merely automatically reproducing a recipe will prevent an employer from gaining popularity with customers. But this is precisely the key to its prosperity. Therefore, candidates for the position of a cook in specialized organizations will be subject to requirements related to work experience, qualifications, special knowledge or recommendations. The "regalia" of the cook, although they will not be reflected in the employment contract, will influence the choice of the candidate by the employer.

Additional terms of the contract

The employment contract with the cook must contain some additional, in addition to those provided Labor Code RF, conditions. For example, the rights of a cook.
To obtain the best result, it is advisable to give the chef some freedom of action and decision-making. After all, even weather conditions will affect the choice of dishes by the consumer. And the shelf life of most prepared dishes will expire with the end of the working day in the organization. It is important for a chef to get his bearings in today's preferences of customers, which will significantly save the employer's costs. In higher-class establishments, the chef can be given the opportunity to make regular customers"compliments" (dishes as a gift), which will increase the attractiveness of the institution in the eyes of consumers.

Thus, if the organization does not have a separate document providing for the rights of the cook, then they will have to be registered in the employment contract.

Another very important feature of the work of workers in this profession is constant sanitary control. Indeed, in addition to taste and harmlessness to humans ready meals, the production process itself is also subjected to regular or sudden inspection by controlling organizations. Therefore, in the labor contract with the cook, in the section of the obligations of the latter, it is necessary to include his obligation to maintain sanitary requirements in the processes of acceptance, storage of products, cooking and waste disposal. It is also advisable to provide for the obligation of the cook himself to undergo medical examinations and the obligation to ensure that his subordinates pass medical examinations. Availability of a valid sanitary book not being discussed.

Any violation of these requirements can lead to significant losses for the employer. Supervisory authorities can not only punish the employer with fines, but also suspend the activities of the enterprise for up to 90 days (according to the norms of administrative law), and then we are talking about the continued existence of the business itself.

Description of labor functions

overlay disciplinary action for a cook will directly depend on how detailed his functionality is spelled out in the employment contract. In other words, it will be possible to clearly trace which particular obligations the cook is not fulfilling or is being fulfilled improperly.
The parties may specify the responsibility of the employee (part 2 of article 232 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation). For example, a case may be envisaged when a cook spoils a dish, and it is impossible to sell it, or spoils the technique by his guilty actions. However, the limits of his liability are limited in this case to the average monthly earnings in accordance with Art. 241 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation.

Also, one should not forget about safety precautions, the obligation to comply with which should also be indicated in the contract in the obligations section. After all, the cook is constantly near hot and very hot objects, electrical equipment and dangerous substances (for example, vinegar) and uses traumatic tools and devices - knives, graters, meat grinders and many others.

Employer obligations

Among the obligations of the employer should be considered such as:


  • availability of additional life and health insurance;
  • providing the chef with special clothing;
  • ensuring the performance of special equipment, etc.

The listed features should be reflected in the employment contract along with the legally established mandatory conditions:


  • place of work;
  • official functions;
  • date of commencement of the contract and its term (often catering establishments work seasonally);
  • the amount of remuneration, additional payments and allowances;
  • work schedule, shift start and end times, break times for meals and rest;
  • working conditions in the workplace;
  • conditions of social insurance, including compulsory and additional.

A cook is such a profession that not only an organization, but also an individual may need his services. Article 303 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation allows hiring workers and an individual who does not have the status individual entrepreneur. At the same time, an employment contract is concluded in accordance with all the rules for concluding with legal entity. The difference employment contract consists in the fact that it will need to be registered with the administration at the place of registration of the employer - individual. Such registration is subject to notification.

In practice, persons in need of domestic staff rarely enter into written employment contracts, as a rule, these are oral agreements. But then you need to understand that any disagreements will be resolved only by peaceful means, since there will be nothing to refer to the parties to the dispute. The employee will not be able to prove the time of his work with an individual (length of service), the employer will not be able to punish the employee otherwise than by not paying him the agreed amount as payment for work. For some employees, the moment when the employer transfers insurance premiums will be fundamental, and this implies the existence of a written employment contract.

Thus, it should be remembered that the success and profit of the employer will largely depend on the completeness and quality of the employment contract with this specialist.
