During holidays, teenagers often findvarious part-time work, which subsequently plan to combine with study. Given that work for students in Moscow is already a common phenomenon, admission to the staff of schoolchildren is a rather delicate process, with its own characteristics and pitfalls. We will conduct a small educational program on this complex topic.
Regulatory law
Employment of minors is regulated42 head of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation and other related articles. According to them, it is possible to hire people who have already reached the age of sixteen. In special cases, it is permissible to enter into a contract with fifteen-year-olds for the performance of light jobs that are not capable of causing harm to health, provided that the candidate has already completed training or continues it in a form that is different from full-time. Concerning fourteen-year-olds, the law states that work for adolescents is possible if consent is obtained from one of the parents (or from the caregiver) in their free time from school. With regard to participation in filming, theatrical performances and concert activities, there is no age limit, but there are a large number of specific rules regarding the organization of the process that require strict observance.
Working conditions and restrictions
Employment of minors impliesthe issuance of an insurance certificate and employment record book, which is regulated by article 66 of the LC RF. In this case, the contract can be issued as an urgent one for a certain period (for example, during the summer holidays), and as a standard indefinite one. Until the age of 18, such employees must undergo an annual medical examination at the expense of the company-employer. Here are the basic essential rules:
- It is prohibited to engage in work on a rotational basis;
- a teenager cannot be dismissed solely on the initiative of the employer without the consent of the commission on juvenile affairs and labor inspection;
- eliminated the possibility of registration in combination;
- It is impossible to register in the contract full liability.
Among other things, the legislation has definedareas in which the employment of minors is unacceptable. These include production with harmful and dangerous to health and life conditions - for example, underground work; as well as the chemical industry, metallurgy, mechanical engineering, gambling, night clubs, activities related to tobacco products and alcoholic beverages. The full list is quite extensive, and we recommend to study it carefully. A separate item specifies the duration of working time. It is, of course, shortened. Teenagers, until they are 16 years old, can work for a maximum of 24 hours during a week, but if they have reached that age, then it is already 35 hours. When combined with study standards are halved. In this case, one shift should not exceed 5 hours in 15-16 years and 7 hours in 16-18 years. So, the employment of minors requires increased attention and a preliminary study of the legal framework relating to this issue. Remember that this is a big responsibility for you.
