The word “freedom” can mean very different things. In fact, “to be free” means to have freedom of choice. But one cannot remain without choice, and from the moment the choice is made, a person loses part of his freedom. Freedom is fleeting and elusive. If freedom is the primary condition of human dignity, it is nothing without education, not that education that is imposed from the outside and binds, but that which is acquired on the basis of experience, reflection or consciousness. The realization of freedom is quite difficult: it is necessary to make choices, and different choices give different results. Essentially, human nature is such that some options are harmful to him, while others are indifferent or beneficial. ... some elections are catastrophic, as everyone sooner or later discovers from their own experience. Teaching freedom is thus even more important than freedom itself. Very often they believe in the neutrality or indifference of choice - there is nothing more dangerous.

Termination of an employment contract at the initiative of the employee

under paragraph 3, part 1, art. 77 Labor Code of the Russian Federation (Article 80 Labor Code of the Russian Federation)

The employee has the right to terminate the employment contract by notifying the employer in writing two weeks in advance.

By agreement between the employee and the employer, the employment contract can be terminated even before the expiration of the notice period for dismissal.

In cases where an employee’s application for dismissal on his initiative (at his own request) is due to the impossibility of continuing his work (enrollment in educational institution, retirement and other cases), as well as in cases of established violation by the employer of laws and other regulatory legal acts containing labor law standards, conditions collective agreement, agreement or employment contract, the employer is obliged to terminate the employment contract within the period specified in the employee’s application.

Before the expiration of the notice period for dismissal, the employee has the right to withdraw his application at any time. Dismissal in this case is not carried out unless another employee is invited in his place in writing, who, in accordance with the Labor Code of the Russian Federation and other federal laws, cannot be denied an employment contract.

Upon expiration of the notice period for dismissal, the employee has the right to stop working. On the last day of work, the employer is obliged to give the employee work book, other documents related to the work, upon the written application of the employee and make a final settlement with him.

On the transfer on the day of dismissal of information on accrued and paid insurance contributions for compulsory pension insurance, see Federal Law of April 1, 1996 N 27-FZ “On individual (personalized) accounting in the compulsory pension insurance system.”

If, upon expiration of the notice period for dismissal, the employment contract has not been terminated and the employee does not insist on dismissal, then the employment contract continues.

The specifics of termination on this basis are explained in paragraph 22 of the Plenum Resolution Supreme Court RF dated March 17, 2004 N 2 “On the application by courts of the Russian Federation Labor Code Russian Federation." When considering disputes regarding termination at the initiative of an employee of an employment contract concluded for an indefinite period, as well as a fixed-term employment contract (Clause 3, Part 1, Article 77, Article 80 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation), the courts must keep in mind the following:

a) termination of an employment contract at the initiative of an employee is permissible in the case where filing a letter of resignation was his voluntary expression of will. If the plaintiff claims that the employer forced him to submit a resignation letter of his own free will (which is often done by various employers), then this circumstance is subject to verification, and the responsibility to prove it rests with the employee;

b) the employment contract can be terminated at the initiative of the employee and before the expiration of the two-week notice period for dismissal by agreement between the employee and the employer.

If the employee’s application is due to the impossibility of continuing his work:

Enrollment in an educational institution;

Retirement;

The presence of other valid reasons due to which the employee cannot continue to work, for example, sending a husband (wife) to work abroad, to a new place of duty;

In cases of established violation by the employer of laws and other regulatory legal acts containing labor law norms, the terms of a collective agreement, agreement or employment contract, the employer is obliged to terminate the employment contract within the period specified in the employee’s application. It must be borne in mind that these violations can be established, in particular, by bodies exercising state supervision and control over compliance with labor legislation, trade unions, labor commissions labor disputes, court;

c) based on the content of Part 4 of Art. 80 and part 4 art. 127 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation, an employee who has warned the employer about termination of the employment contract has the right to withdraw his application before the expiration of the warning period (and when granting leave with subsequent dismissal - before the start day of the leave), and dismissal in this case is not carried out, provided that in his place in another employee has not been invited in writing, who, in accordance with the Labor Code of the Russian Federation and other federal laws, cannot be refused to conclude an employment contract (for example, by virtue of Part 4 of Article 64 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation, it is prohibited to refuse to conclude an employment contract to employees invited in writing to work by way of transfer from another employer, within one month from the date of dismissal from the previous place of work).

The employer has the right to invite a vacated workplace employee of your organization.

If, after the expiration of the notice period, the employment contract has not been terminated and the employee does not insist on dismissal, the employment contract is considered continued (Part 6 of Article 80 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation).

To terminate an employment contract under clause 3, part 1, art. 77 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation, the following facts are required:

1) the employee submitted a written notice of resignation of his own free will;

2) the application was submitted voluntarily and not forced;

3) the employee did not withdraw his resignation letter;

4) two weeks of notice of dismissal have passed, 14 calendar days;

5) on the day of dismissal, the employer provided information on accrued and paid state pension insurance contributions - see Federal Law No. 27-FZ of April 1, 1996 “On individual (personalized) accounting in the state pension insurance system”;

6) the employer issued the employee a work book and other documents related to the work, upon the employee’s written application, and made a final payment to him.

When terminating an employment contract, there are some special features when dismissing after a vacation.

The employer is obliged to compensate the employee for the earnings he did not receive in all cases of illegal deprivation of his opportunity to work. Such an obligation, in particular, arises if earnings are not received as a result of the employee’s illegal removal from work, his dismissal or transfer to another job (Article 234 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation).

Termination of the employment contract under clause 4, part 1, art. 77 -

at the initiative of the employer (Articles 71, 81 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation)

There are at least three reasons for terminating an employment contract on this basis:

a) employee behavior that does not meet the employer’s requirements;

b) requirement government organization terminate the employment contract;

c) employer initiative.

When terminating an employment contract, the employer should remember that the organization’s main resource is its staff. At the same time, one of the qualities of an employer is the ability to forgive mistakes of employees and their shortcomings, which can be tolerable. The growing shortage of productive workers should also be taken into account. It is advisable for an organization to develop a methodology for calculating the cost of dismissing one employee, which may include all the costs of searching, training and adaptation of a new employee. Termination costs should be considered in layoffs.

When terminating an employment contract, you should keep in mind ILO Convention No. 158 on termination of employment at the initiative of the employer, which was adopted in Geneva on June 2, 1982, as well as ILO Recommendation No. 166 of June 22, 1982, adopted on the same issue.

Mitigating the consequences of termination of employment

In the event of termination of an employment relationship for reasons of an economic, technological, structural or similar nature, it is necessary, through measures appropriate to the circumstances of each country and taken by the competent authority, if possible in cooperation with the employer and the relevant workers' representatives, to facilitate the earliest possible placement of the dismissed workers in other employment and, if necessary, , their receipt of vocational training or retraining.

The employer should, whenever possible, help laid-off workers find another job. suitable job, for example through direct contacts with other entrepreneurs.

To assist displaced workers in obtaining other suitable employment or vocational training or retraining, the 1975 Convention and the 1975 Human Resources Development Recommendation may be taken into account.

In order to mitigate the adverse consequences of termination of employment for reasons of an economic, technological, structural or similar nature, it is necessary to take into account income protection during any period of vocational training or retraining and partial or full compensation for the costs associated with vocational training or retraining, as well as searching for and finding another job that requires a change of residence.

It should be remembered that representatives of employees participating in collective negotiations during the period of their conduct cannot be dismissed at the initiative of the employer without the prior consent of the body that authorized them to represent, except in cases of termination of the employment contract for committing an offense for which, in accordance with the Labor Code of the Russian Federation, Other federal laws provide for dismissal from work (Part 3 of Article 39 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation).

Representatives of workers and their associations participating in the resolution of a collective labor dispute during the period of resolution of a collective labor dispute cannot be dismissed at the initiative of the employer without the prior consent of the body that authorized them to represent them (Part 2 of Article 405 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation).

Every employee feels calm and confident at work if two conditions are met:

The first is a stable position in the organization, protection from dismissal by the employer’s promise. In some organizations, behind the entrance of the organization on its territory there is a poster - “We work without layoffs.” This, of course, does not mean that the employer will not get rid of the lazy person and the attacker, but he undertakes not to fire the rest;

Secondly, employees are given a development perspective for the organization, published in the personnel development program, which has three parts: strategic for 15-20 years, medium-term for 4 years and an action plan for one year.

Only from a calm and confident employee in an organization can you get maximum output and productivity.

Termination of the employment contract under clause 1, part 1, art. 81

The specifics of terminating an employment contract on this basis are explained in paragraph 28 of the Resolution of the Plenum of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation of March 17, 2004 No. 2 “On the application by the courts of the Russian Federation of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation.”

The termination of the activities of an employer - an individual who did not have the status of an individual entrepreneur - should be understood as the actual termination of such an employer's activities.

In this regard, the defendant must provide evidence confirming that after the notice of dismissal, the civil servant was offered vacant positions in this government body, and in their absence, at least one vacant position in another government body and he refused the offered job or refused undergoing retraining (requalification) in the manner established by the legislation of the Russian Federation and constituent entities of the Russian Federation on public service.

The general grounds for termination of an employment contract are set out in Article 77 of the Labor Code. The concept of “termination” itself is broader than “termination” of a contract, since it includes all cases of termination of an employment contract under the Labor Code and federal regulations.

Grounds for termination of an employment contract

General grounds for termination of an employment contract are divided into the following:

  • employee's desire;
  • employer initiative;
  • consent of the parties;
  • expiration of the contract.

Termination of an employment contract is the end of its validity for one of the legally established reasons. If the employment contract was terminated for another reason not specified in the Labor Code, then this may be regarded as illegal actions or labor discrimination. As a result of an employee's complaint, he may be reinstated.

If an employee can express his desire for an employment contract at any time and not focus on the reasons, then the employer can be guided only by a narrow list of grounds, for example, when terminating his activities due to, due to non-certification or gross violation duties or the commission of guilty actions by the employee (theft, appearing at work in the form of,) etc.

General grounds for termination of an employment contract, which are listed in Art. 77 of the Labor Code are specified in other articles of this law and other legal acts.

The grounds for termination of an employment contract are:

  1. according to the norms of Art. 78 TK.
  2. validity of the employment contract under Art. 79 TK(except for situations where none of the parties requested termination of the employment contract within the established time frame).
  3. Termination of an employment contract at the initiative of the employee under Art. 80 or employer under Art. 71, 81 TK.

  10. For violation current rules concluding an employment contract, which make further continuation of work impossible (under Article 84 of the Labor Code).

The specified general grounds for termination of an employment contract are the same for all categories of employees. For certain groups of specialists, additional and special grounds may be provided: for example, for home workers and workers, teachers for committing immoral offenses or athletes for doping, etc.

For employees holding elective positions, the employment contract terminates if they are not elected for a new term.

In Part 2 of Art. 77 of the Labor Code mentions the grounds for termination of an employment contract, which are related to the requirements of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation, the Federal Law “On Civil Service”, “On Service in customs authorities RF" etc.

Termination procedure

Fixed-term employment contracts are terminated upon expiration of their validity period. At the same time, the employer is assigned the obligation of the employee to indicate his desire to terminate the employment relationship three days in advance. If this is not done and the employee is not fired before the end, then the contract automatically goes into status.

The procedure for terminating an employment contract will differ slightly depending on the basis. Thus, in order to comply with the law, the employer will have to warn the employee about the reduction or termination of activities as an individual entrepreneur in advance. Besides this, o mass reduction The employment service must be notified.

If the employee being laid off is a member of a trade union, then his dismissal is preliminarily agreed upon in trade union organization. There are also some special requirements that need to be taken into account: for example, the priority right to retain certain categories of workers at work (for example, those with high qualifications) or the need for documentary evidence of a gross offense (for example, a court verdict based on the fact).

If the contract is terminated at the initiative of the employee, then he must submit a notice of dismissal to the employer. This must be done 2 weeks before the upcoming dismissal, since the employer has the right to set such a period to find a replacement and transfer cases to another employee. Moreover, by agreement of the parties, the employment contract may terminate before 14 days have expired.

For short-term and seasonal contracts, the application must be submitted 3 days before the upcoming dismissal.

In some cases, an employee may not work after submitting a resignation letter.. For example, if the reason for terminating an employment contract is the employee’s departure from work, then he himself can register the date of his departure. It is also not allowed to detain an employee who leaves work to care for a disabled child.

If the basis for termination of the employment contract is the agreement of the parties, then the employment contract terminates on the day specified in the signed document and on the terms of the agreement.

But regardless of the reasons for termination of the employment contract, this procedure involves going through the following stages:

  1. Publication of dismissal and familiarization with it to the employee against signature. The order is issued by unified form T-8 or according to the form approved by the company. It must indicate the basis for dismissal and a link to a document that confirms the legality of the application of this basis (for example, an application for voluntary dismissal). If the employee refuses to sign the order, then a corresponding note is made about this.
  2. Filling personnel documentation (personal employee card), etc.
  3. Entering a notice of dismissal in. It is given to him on the last working day, about which the employee signs in a special journal. If he avoids receiving a work book, then the employer is obliged to send it to his home address.
  4. Final payment to the employee on his last working day.

The date of termination of the employment contract is the employee’s last working day. If the employee did not fulfill his job responsibilities, then the last day is recognized as the day specified in the order (in accordance with Article 84.1). It is on this day that the employee must be finally paid and a work book must be issued to him.

The final payment amount includes earnings for hours worked and unused vacation upon dismissal. The payment is mandatory only when an employee is dismissed due to layoffs or liquidation; in other situations it remains at the discretion of the employer.

If during the final settlements the employer and employee have disputed amounts, then the employee is paid the undisputed part, and the rest is paid based on the results of resolving the disputed issues.

Thus, the general grounds for termination of an employment contract are described in detail in labor legislation. They depend on the type of employment contract concluded with the employee and on the employee’s status.

When and in what cases is the employment contract terminated?

Dismissal of an employee is often associated with conflicts and violations. Therefore, both the employee and the employer need to know and navigate the rules for terminating an employment contract. When, on what grounds, in what cases is the employment contract terminated? We'll tell you in this article.

General grounds for termination of an employment contract

Let us list and describe the most common grounds for termination of an employment contract.

Dismissal at the initiative of the worker.

Dismissal often occurs on the initiative of the worker himself. Externally, this is formalized by the employee submitting a resignation letter. In this case, the employee must comply with the rule of the law about warning the employer of his intention to quit. By general rule from the moment of filing the application, at least 2 weeks must pass until the moment of dismissal, the so-called “working off”. This time is given to the employer to find a replacement for the retired personnel and carry out all other necessary measures in connection with the dismissal (transfer of cases, etc.).

What do you need to consider here? The notice period for dismissal for certain categories of employees may be shorter. Thus, seasonal workers can give notice of their dismissal in just three days. The same period is established for employees located. During the test, they can write a statement three times before dismissal.

And of course, the warning period may be reduced or not taken into account at all if the parties agree on this matter. For example, an employer agrees to dismiss an employee without mandatory “work off”.

Let us remind you that dismissal at the request of the employee is possible without any work at all. It depends on the reasons for dismissal. If the reasons for terminating an employment contract are related to retirement, caring for a sick family member and other cases, then the employer is obliged to dismiss the employee when he asks for it.

Dismissal “good” and “bad”

If the dismissal occurs “in an amicable way,” then compliance with the above rules is sufficient to terminate the contract. However, dismissal “on good terms” does not always happen and may be accompanied by conflicts.

Sometimes employers force employees to write statements of their own free will. Such actions are certainly illegal. And even if an employee writes a statement under pressure from the employer, he can subsequently turn to law enforcement and law enforcement agencies to protect his rights. control bodies(court, prosecutor's office, Labour Inspectorate) and achieve reinstatement at work. There are plenty of such examples in judicial practice, when in the trial the facts of forced dismissal at one’s own request were confirmed.

There may be another situation when the employer does not want to part with the employee and creates all sorts of obstacles for him on the way to dismissal. In such cases, employees need to stock up on evidence of committing legally significant actions. In this case, it is filing a resignation letter. These facts can be recorded by a receipt from an authorized person of the employer on the employee’s application, written in 2 copies; or confirmed by telegram, by registered mail with a description of the attachment and other methods.

Dismissal at the request of the employer

Depending on the grounds for termination of the employment contract, such dismissal can be very different. It’s one thing when an employee is fired due to staff reduction with the payment of 2 months’ severance pay; and it’s a completely different matter if he is fired “under article”, when such unpleasant information ends up in the work book. Often, employers, threatening an unwanted employee with such dismissal, force him to write a letter of resignation of his own free will.

You can read about “” in other materials on our site. Here we note that in addition to the “bad” reasons for terminating an employment contract, dismissal at the request of the employer may not be so negative. Such grounds for termination of an employment contract are dismissals due to:

  • with the liquidation of an enterprise or company or the closure of an individual entrepreneur;
  • reduction of the employer's staffing levels;
  • conflict of interest and the employee’s unwillingness or inability to resolve it;
  • change in the ownership of the property of an enterprise or company (applies to management personnel).

There is one thing general rule, which employers are obliged to comply with regardless of the reason for termination of the employment contract (good or bad). At the initiative of the employer, the law prohibits dismissing employees during periods of vacation or incapacity for work. This rule does not apply only to cases of closure of an individual entrepreneur or liquidation of a company.

Dismissals for other reasons

Other common grounds for termination of an employment contract include dismissals:

  • by agreement of the parties;
  • due to expiration of the contract;
  • due to circumstances beyond our control.

The agreement of the parties must be reached in writing, drawn up in at least two copies (for the employee and for the employer). It often includes conditions regarding payments due to the employee in connection with dismissal.

If, and the parties have no intention of continuing it, then the relationship also ends. The employer has the obligation to notify the employee of the upcoming dismissal for this reason no later than three days before the dismissal.

Upon dismissal due to circumstances beyond the control of the parties, the employment contract is terminated due to conscription into the army, death, criminal prosecution, failure to be selected for the appropriate position, medical contraindications, etc.
