Working from home the Russians offered to offset part of the cost. With the corresponding initiative was made by the Federation of independent trade unions of Russia (FNPR), according to “Izvestia”.
According to the document, which was sent to the Russian tripartite Commission on regulation socially-labour relations, the company shall reimburse employee costs in connection with the transition to remote work. The average costs are estimated at three thousand rubles — we’re talking about payments for electricity, Internet, telephone, and computer programs.
FITUR proposes to amend the Labour code amendment on temporary remote work, in accordance with which envisages the registration of the additional agreement between employer and employee. The document also has provisions for calculating the working time, the form of a report on the work and interaction with management. In addition, the authors of the document propose to prescribe a ban on the reduction of salaries when working from home, if the employee can cope with all the responsibilities.
the pre-Emptive right to work remotely are encouraged to provide employees with children under 14 years of age, disabled persons and old-age pensioners, students studying full-time and people caring for disabled or chronically ill relatives.
the Ministry has said that it has received a bill and examine it. The Agency generally supports the initiative.
Earlier in may, the state Duma offered to pay the Russians for work from home. Deputy Andrey Isaev pointed out that working from home people are forced to buy computers, pay for Internet, pay for electricity. In the office all of this is free, so compensation is fair.
