The Ministry of Labor and Social Protection plans to revise the mechanism for calculating unemployment benefits and register the status of the self-employed. This was reported on February 17 by the publication RBC.
According to him, the department plans to create a new concept of the federal law “On Employment”, adapting the document to the current conditions of the labor market. The bill will be submitted to the State Duma during the autumn session.
The concept implies a change in the procedure for issuing benefits to unemployed citizens, as well as securing the status of self-employed working on digital platforms. For this category, they want to introduce norms for the time of work and rest, payment for services, as well as regulate the issues of access to pensions, benefits and other social guarantees.
The document also provides for measures to combat shadow employment. Issues of the use of agency labor will also not be left without attention.
Earlier, on February 11, the Ministry of Labor reported that in 2021 more than 2.5 million people found a job after applying to the employment services (SZN).
Some of them chose vacancies offered by employment services. But there were also those who got a job on their own, using various services of the SZN – assistance in career guidance, resume writing, training, interview training, the department added.
According to the Ministry of Labor, most often it is people who do not have a certain qualification who apply to employment services.
