“Now, many companies are already conducting internal flow of documents in electronic form, – said the press service of the Ministry of labor. – Personnel document management is one of the last areas where certain documents should be duplicated on paper. Prior to the law required that the number of documents was necessarily on paper: employment contract, apprenticeship contract, contract of full material liability, resignation and others. This greatly complicated the transition to remote work, conclusion of employment contracts with field work. Now it will be possible to issue these important documents remotely, in electronic form”.
Initially it was assumed that the experiment will last until the end of the year, and then studied the experience of using electronic HR workflow and the decision is to implement it on a permanent basis or not. Now, apparently, a positive decision on the results of the testing made ahead of time.
Employers can use their information system to work with electronic documents in the sphere of HR administration, and can use the functionality of the portal “Work in Russia”, said the Ministry of labor. In some cases, it will allow employees to electronically sign the document.
“actually, the electronic document management system has long been implemented in various areas of the company, says HR Director of FBK Grant Thornton Sergey Kostakov. Is the relationship with the banks, Pension Fund, social insurance Fund. But now there is a possibility of registration of employment contracts with remote workers, which significantly reduces the time required for clearance”. Now, most importantly, believed in the Association of Russian managers, provide training to personnel involved in the personnel document.
