Decree No. 5 "On Strengthening Requirements for Managers and Employees of Organizations" provides the employer with a powerful tool for influencing an employee, and this same tool will also be applied to the manager themselves. This opinion was expressed to a BELTA correspondent by Denis Katashuk, Chairman of the primary trade union organization of employees of the Vitebsk branch of the International University "MITSO", Senior Lecturer of the Department of Jurisprudence.
"Decree No. 5 will affect every employee and employer, regardless of the legal entity's form of ownership. The purpose of adopting the document is obvious, it is fully defined in the preamble - increasing the efficiency of management, ensuring proper working conditions in organizations of state and private forms of ownership, improving the quality of products (works, services), and improving the work on the selection and placement of managerial staff. That is, employers will have more mechanisms to motivate employees for productive activities, both incentive and punitive. But now, increased requirements are also imposed on managers themselves. And if they do not cope with them in one position, do not improve, then it will no longer be possible to change one managerial position for another," explained Denis Katashuk.
Incentive mechanisms imply the employer's right to make additional payments to an employee from profits, funds from income-generating activities remaining at the organizations' disposal after paying mandatory budget contributions, if the employee has no violations. At the same time, the deprivation of an employee's incentive payments can be carried out on a prolonged basis (for up to one year).
