A seminar on "Changes in the Labour Code of the Republic of Belarus" was held in the district executive committee hall for officials and employers of all forms of ownership in Lepel and the district.
The training was conducted by Yakov Zhulev, Head of the Vitebsk Regional Department of the State Labour Inspectorate of the Ministry of Labour and Social Protection of the Republic of Belarus, and Veneta Sinitskaya, Deputy Head.
During the event, very important topics concerning compliance with the norms and laws of labour legislation were highlighted.
The following issues were considered:
provision of additional social and labour guarantees;
use of information technologies in labour relations;
improvement of the procedure and conditions for granting leave;
combining work with education;
adjustment of norms on working hours;
contract employment;
issuance of a duplicate work record book.
In the first block, the attention of the attendees was focused on the fact that a medical examination (dispanserizatsiya) is not a medical check-up!
The passage of medical examinations by employees in accordance with Article 107 of the Labour Code is carried out as follows: those who have reached the age of 40 - 1 working day once a year. Employees who have reached the generally established retirement age, as well as employees within 5 years of reaching such age - 2 working days once a year, other employees - 1 working day once every 3 years.
The frequency of wage payments in accordance with Article 73 of the Labour Code was also touched upon. According to the new norms, wages are to be paid no less than twice a month, regardless of the type of employment contract concluded.
The leaders of the Lepel region were interested in the new norm for a one-time payment for health improvement.
In cases provided for by legislation, collective agreements, other local legal acts, or employment contracts, as a rule, when granting annual leave (or when dividing it into parts, when granting one of the parts), the employer is obliged to make a one-time payment for health improvement once a calendar year in the manner and amount determined by legislation, collective agreements, other local legal acts, or employment contracts.
