 ️ Legal Digest: What Changed on May 15–16, 2026 I have prepared for you a selection of key legal news that entrepreneurs and managers should know. 1. Sick Leave During Downtime — An Important Nuance The SFR clarified: if an employee falls ill during downtime, they are not entitled to benefits. However, if the illness began before the downtime, benefits are paid for the days before it, but not during the downtime. Check your calculations with employees. 2. Courts Ordered Payment for "Mandatory" 10 Minutes Before a Shift The employer required employees to arrive 10 minutes early and stay after the shift. Three courts recognized this as overtime work and ordered payment. If your company has "rituals" before/after the workday, this is a reason to reconsider them. 3. Constitutional Court — Childcare Leave for Adoptive Parents The Constitutional Court recognized a gap in the law: adoptive parents who are employees of the federal fire service were unjustifiably denied childcare leave. The gap was ordered to be filled. 4. Strengthened Control Over Labeling (Honest Sign) The system operator will check whether companies actually produce the goods (shoes, clothing, perfumes, tires, dietary supplements) for which they request labeling codes. Fake applications will be cut off. 5. AutoUSN for Individual Entrepreneurs — FNS Clarifications The FNS explained: personal accounts of individual entrepreneurs not related to business do not prevent the use of AutoUSN. An important point for those on this regime. 6. Ministry of Digital Development — Access for Telecom Operators to Apartment Buildings Management companies and operators must inspect the common property of the building within 15 working days after the request is agreed upon. The regulations have become clearer. I saved the full selection with sources in my notes.
