 Legal Digest: What Changed This Week Friday is the time to sum up the legal results. I have gathered the key changes that entrepreneurs and HR specialists should know. 1. Sick leave during downtime is not paid The Social Fund of Russia issued a clarification: if an employee falls ill during a period of downtime, they are not entitled to benefits. If they fell ill before the downtime, only the days before its start are paid. An important nuance for payroll calculations during production stoppages. 2. Courts protected overtime rights An employer required employees to arrive 10 minutes before the shift and stay 10 minutes after. An employee went to court and won in all three instances. The time of entry/exit to the premises was recognized as working time and subject to payment. 3. "Honest Sign" tightens control The system operator now checks whether companies actually produce the goods (shoes, clothing, perfumes, tires, dietary supplements) for which they request marking codes. Fictitious applications will be stopped at the issuance stage. 4. Ministry of Finance: OKPD 2 code is not a verdict A difference in OKPD 2 codes between the application and the KTRU item is not grounds for rejecting a public procurement participant. Codes in KTRU are for reference only. 5. Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation — leave for adoptive parents The Constitutional Court ordered the elimination of a gap that denied employees of the federal fire service leave to care for an adopted child. 6. AutoUSN for individual entrepreneurs The Federal Tax Service clarified: personal accounts of individual entrepreneurs not related to business do not prevent the application of AutoUSN.
