Maximum remoteness of a suitable work place of residence. The concept of a suitable job. Job Requirements

Since the acquisition and preservation of the status of the unemployed is associated with such concepts as suitable and unsuitable work, we will dwell on them in more detail.

In accordance with Article 4 of the Law "On Employment in the Russian Federation", such work is considered suitable, including temporary work, which corresponds to the professional suitability of the employee, taking into account the level of his professional training, the conditions of the last place of work (with the exception of paid public works), health status, transport accessibility of the workplace.

Transport accessibility is the maximum distance of a suitable job from the place of residence of the unemployed, which is determined by the relevant local government, taking into account the development of the public transport network in the area.

Paid work (including temporary work and public works), requiring or not requiring (taking into account the age and other characteristics of citizens) preliminary training, that meets the requirements of the labor legislation of the Russian Federation, is considered suitable for citizens:

  • * first-time job seekers (who did not work before), who do not have a profession (specialty), who were fired more than once during one year preceding the onset of unemployment, for violation of labor discipline and other guilty actions provided for by the legislation of the Russian Federation, who were previously engaged in entrepreneurial activities, seeking resume labor activity after a long (more than one year) break, as well as those sent by the employment service for training and expelled for guilty actions;
  • * those who refused to improve (restore) their qualifications in their current profession (specialty), obtain a related profession or undergo retraining after the end of the initial (12-month) period of unemployment;
  • * registered with the employment service for more than 18 months, as well as more than three years not working;
  • * applied to the employment service after the end of seasonal work. A job may not be considered suitable if:
  • * it is associated with a change of residence without the consent of the citizen;
  • * working conditions do not comply with the rules and regulations on labor protection;
  • * the offered salary is lower than the average salary of a citizen, calculated for the last three months at the last place of work. This provision does not apply to citizens whose average monthly earnings exceeded the subsistence level of the able-bodied population, calculated in the constituent entity of the Russian Federation in the prescribed manner. In this case, a job cannot be considered suitable if the salary offered is below the specified living wage.
  • 3) Rights and obligations of the unemployed

In addition to defining the concept, the legal status of the unemployed includes his rights and obligations, responsibility for improper performance or non-performance of duties, as well as social guarantees and compensations provided by law in order to provide an unemployed citizen with the opportunity to exercise the rights granted.

The Employment Law enshrines a wide range of rights of citizens duly recognized as unemployed, which can be conditionally divided into two groups: the powers aimed at exercising the right to freely dispose of their abilities for work, choose the type of activity and profession, and the powers that provide social support and material assistance to the unemployed during the job search period.

Right to employment can be implemented in various ways and includes the following powers of the unemployed:

  • * the right to assistance in finding a suitable job (Article 4 of the Employment Law);
  • * the right to choose a place of work (Article 8 of the Law on Employment), including the possibility of employment in another area, as well as the right to professional activities outside the territory of the Russian Federation (Article 10 of the Law on Employment);
  • * the right to free vocational guidance, vocational training, retraining and advanced training in the direction of the employment service (Article 9, 23 of the Law on Employment);
  • * the right to participate in public paid work (Article 24 of the Employment Law);
  • * the right to receive assistance in organizing their own business.

Powers that provide social support and material assistance to the unemployed during the period of job search, are also enshrined in the Law on Employment and provide for the possibility for the unemployed to receive the following social guarantees and compensations:

  • * unemployment benefit (art. 30-35 of the Employment Law);
  • * scholarship for the period of study in the direction of the employment service (Article 29 of the Law on Employment);
  • * material assistance to the unemployed and their families (Article 36 of the Employment Law);
  • * Organization of recreation and treatment of children of unemployed citizens;
  • * reimbursement of expenses in connection with a voluntary move to another locality for employment at the suggestion of the employment service authorities (paragraph 5, clause 1, article 28 of the Employment Law);
  • * payment of the cost of travel (to the place of study and back) and expenses associated with the residence of citizens sent by the employment service for vocational training, advanced training or retraining in another area (clause 8, article 29 of the Employment Law). An important social guarantee is also the preferential procedure for calculating seniority. The time during which a citizen, in accordance with the procedure established by law, receives unemployment benefits, a scholarship, takes part in paid public works, the time required to move to another locality and find employment in the direction of the employment service, as well as a period of temporary disability, maternity leave and childbirth, conscription for military training, involvement in activities related to preparation for military service, with the performance of state duties, does not interrupt the length of service and is counted in the total length of service and insurance.

Concerning duties of the unemployed then in general they can be formulated as conscientiousness and discipline.

When applying for assistance to the state employment service, a citizen must provide certain information about himself and his family. Based on this information, a decision is made to recognize the citizen as unemployed and assign him unemployment benefits. If the unemployed acted in bad faith and received benefits fraudulently, then the payment of unemployment benefits may be terminated with simultaneous deregistration as unemployed. The same consequences may be entailed by the failure of the unemployed to report to the employment service information about their employment (even if it is temporary or on a part-time basis).

The requirement of discipline is at the heart of the interaction between the employment service agency and the unemployed: he must regularly, at least twice a month, re-register with the employment service; notify in advance of a long-term (more than one month) absence from the place of registration as unemployed; appear at the employment service authorities to receive a job (study) referral and to negotiate employment with the employer within three days from the date of referral by the employment service authorities; the unemployed person either agrees to take the offered suitable job, or attends classes and successfully completes a training course referred by the employment service.

In addition, the unemployed must come to the employment service in a sober state, since the appearance of the unemployed for re-registration in a state of intoxication entails appropriate sanctions from the employment service.

Non-fulfillment by the unemployed of the duties assigned to him entails the measures of responsibility provided for by the Law on Employment. These liability measures can be both traditional, civil law (collection of unfairly received unemployment benefits in court), criminal law (bringing to account under Article 159 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation for fraud), and specific, inherent only in these legal relations. Such specific measures include: suspension of the payment of unemployment benefits for up to three months, reduction of its size by 25% for up to one month, and, as the most severe punishment, deprivation of the status of unemployed with the simultaneous termination of the payment of unemployment benefits.

At the same time, according to the information of the Ministry of Labor and Social Development of the Russian Federation:

What approaches can be used in determining the transport accessibility of the workplace when selecting a suitable job? Is it legal to use other criteria, such as the cost of travel to the intended place of work, in addition to the transport accessibility of the workplace (paragraphs 5, 6 of the requirements for the selection of suitable work) when determining the maximum distance of the place of suitable work from the place of residence of those registered in order to search for suitable work and unemployed citizens? and back, as well as the travel time and the number of transfers, since often the cost of travel to and from the place of work, taking into account transport accessibility, exceeds the amount of the proposed salary, and the travel time is more than 3 hours per day.

The maximum distance of a suitable job from the place of residence of a citizen
established by the executive authorities of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation in a differentiated amount depending on the categories of citizens and taking into account the development of the public transport network.
When selecting a suitable job, the transport accessibility of the workplace is determined based on the maximum distance of a suitable job from the place of residence of a citizen.
The recommended maximum time for citizens belonging to the category of disabled people should not exceed 1.5 hours (unless the recommendations of the individual rehabilitation program for a disabled person contain other requirements for the transport accessibility of the workplace).
Work is also considered suitable if the transport accessibility of the workplace is provided by the employer's vehicle, which ensures the delivery of personnel to and from the place of work.

Therefore, in your area there are also regulations that determine the maximum distance for suitable work, i.e. You can contact the district employment service with a statement on the issue of familiarization and provision of complete and comprehensive information regarding the established standards for the maximum distance of a suitable job, unfortunately it turned out to be difficult to find it on the network.

Here is one example of such a rule:

In this case, a job cannot be considered suitable if the proposed salary is lower than the subsistence minimum calculated in the constituent entity of the Russian Federation in the prescribed manner.

The legal status of the unemployed is a set of his rights and obligations. In ch. II of the Employment Law defines a list of basic (statutory) rights of the unemployed, for some of them, as well as obligations, are enshrined in other chapters (for example, the right to unemployment benefits).

So, the unemployed has the right:

  • - to choose a place of work by directly contacting the employer, or through the free mediation of the employment service, or with the help of other organizations to assist in the employment of the population;
  • - free consultation and free receipt of information and services related to vocational guidance in the employment service in order to choose the field of activity (profession), employment, the possibility of passing vocational training and obtaining additional professional education;

  • - report to the employment service authority about self-employment, enrollment in full-time education, conscription for military service (fees);
  • - choose one of the options of a suitable job offered by the employment service.

When defining the concept of "unemployed" and in the process of finding work for citizens, in practice, difficulties may arise with its qualification as suitable and unsuitable. The Employment Act clearly regulates these types of work. The definition of "suitable work" is contained in Art. 4 of the Employment Act.

Suitable such work is considered, including work of a temporary nature, which corresponds to the professional suitability of the employee, taking into account the level of his professional training, the conditions of the last place of work (with the exception of paid public works), the state of health, the transport accessibility of the workplace. At the same time, the maximum distance of a suitable job from the place of residence of the unemployed is determined by the relevant body of the employment service, taking into account the development of the public transport network in the area.

Paid work, including temporary work and public works, requiring or not requiring (taking into account the age and other characteristics of citizens) preliminary training, which meets the requirements of the labor legislation of the Russian Federation, is considered suitable for citizens:

  • - for the first time looking for work, without a profession (specialty);
  • - dismissed more than once during one year preceding unemployment, for violation of labor discipline and other guilty actions specified in the legislation;
  • - previously engaged in labor activity and seeking to resume labor activity after a long (more than a year) break;
  • - sent by the employment authorities for training and expelled for guilty actions;
  • – those who refused to undergo vocational training or receive additional vocational education after the end of the first period of payment of unemployment benefits;
  • - registered with the employment authorities for more than one and a half years, as well as not working for more than three years;
  • - applied to the employment authorities after the end of seasonal work.

Not considered suitable work:

  • - if it is associated with a change of place of residence without the consent of the citizen;
  • - if the working conditions for the proposed work do not comply with the rules and regulations on labor protection;
  • – if the offered salary is lower than the average salary of the applicant at the last place of work. At the same time, the maximum limit of average earnings is limited by the subsistence level of the able-bodied population in a constituent entity of the Russian Federation.
