The State Duma wanted to oblige employers to pay employees for travel to their place of work
A group of State Duma deputies (SD) from the LDPR plans to introduce a bill according to which employers will be required to pay employees for travel to their place of work. This proposal is contained in the text of the draft, which I have read RIA Novosti.
“The bill proposes to amend Article 22 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation, according to which the employer’s responsibilities will include providing transportation for the employee to and from work if it is not possible to use public transport,” the explanatory note says.
The authors admitted that they wanted to make changes to the Labor Code after communicating with voters. The party representative noted that in many cities public transport does not operate after 23:00. Because of this, workers have to take a taxi, whose cost has recently risen significantly.
The bill is scheduled to be introduced on October 3.
