When going to work in another country, how can you verify the employer?
We often receive requests from citizens asking us to check foreign companies they are offered employment with. However, we inform you that we cannot verify companies located outside our country! But we can advise you on the correct procedure for hiring. Since the most common option is working in Russia, let's look at the general rules for employment of citizens of the Republic of Belarus in the Russian Federation.
Save these rules and share them with friends who are thinking about leaving:
1. You must be provided with an employment contract that outlines all the conditions, namely:
- the duration of the contract;
- the nature and place of work;
- working hours;
- remuneration, including payment for weekends and holidays, night and overtime work, bonuses, allowances, deductions, and professional development;
- there will also be consideration of the procedure for compensating harm to health caused to you as an employee directly during the work process;
- information about the employer and their location must be provided;
- if you find a job that also provides accommodation, the contract will also specify the place of residence and meals, i.e., who bears the expenses;
- the issue of medical care. Since January 1, 2017, according to the Treaty on the Creation of the EAEU, working Belarusians (including temporary residents) can obtain free compulsory medical insurance and visit state clinics free of charge on an equal basis with Russians.
To apply for the policy, you need the following documents:
- passport,
- a copy of the employment contract,
- pension insurance number SNILS,
- a copy of registration at the place of stay/residence.
In the absence of any of the above documents, obtaining compulsory health insurance is impossible, and accordingly, medical services will be paid.
The agreement is concluded in writing in two copies.
2. If you are Belarusian and applying for a job in Russia, in addition to the documents required for employment, you will need to provide a document confirming the legality of your stay in Russia. Such a document may be a migration registration document.
Please note that Belarusians can stay in Russia without registering for up to 90 days from the date of entry. They must register before the expiration of this period. The period of temporary residence is determined by the duration of the employment contract. If the contract is concluded for an indefinite period, the period of temporary residence is issued for one year and renewed annually.
Therefore, to confirm the legality of your stay in Russia, you will need to provide either a migration registration document or a document confirming entry into Russia less than 90 days ago (for example, a travel ticket).
3. General rules: inform your relatives about your departure for work, leave the exact address of your planned stay and copies of all documents, including a copy of your passport, take an extra copy of all documents in case the original is lost or stolen, agree with your friends and family on when and how you will let them know about your affairs, take a certain amount of money, at least for transportation expenses for a possible return home.
We hope this information was useful to you.
