A range of topical issues

Deputies of the Committee on Social Policy, Health, Family and Child Affairs have developed a number of changes to the Labor Code. The current legislation does not sufficiently specify the list of persons who have the right to include period of leave to care for a child in the length of employment in the appointment of a pension. Directly the vacation itself can be given to the father, grandmother, and grandfather of the child, other relative or guardian, in addition to the mother. In practice, difficulties arise, in particular, when calculating pensions for these citizens. In this regard, the authors of the law-in-draft deputies Sergei Cheban, Ilya Vasilyev, Vladimir Pelin propose to specify the list of persons eligible for admission of experience. The labor code proposed to be supplemented with the following wording: "A leave for the care of a child is included in total and continuous work experience, as well as in work experience in the specialty on the terms and in the order established by the current legislation of PMR in the sphere of pensions". In the opinion of parliamentarians, in this way, parental leave will be granted to a circle of persons, but it is credited to only one of the relatives, if he fulfilled his right to leave.

Among those considered during the meeting was a law-in-draft of the President Vadim Krasnoselsky aimed at supporting the participants of the Great Patriotic War. Parliamentarians considered the initiative of deputy Vitaly Kalin. The author proposes to supplement the Labor Code with the norm, according to which a prohibition on refusal to conclude an employment contract, established because of the absence of work experience.
