 # Law Firms, Attention: Your Clients Are Losing Money on Fines I am a lawyer, and every day I see the same thing: businesses pay millions for mistakes that could have been avoided. Here are three changes from recent court practice—and the cost of each mistake. ## 1. Sick Leave During Downtime—Company Pays Twice The Social Fund of Russia (SFR) clearly stated: if an employee falls ill during a period of downtime, they are not entitled to benefits. But if the illness began before the downtime, you must pay. Typical mistake: an accountant pays "just in case"—and loses 45,000 ₽ per employee for a month of downtime. ## 2. Overtime for "10 Minutes Before the Shift" Courts have ordered a company to pay for forcing employees to arrive 10 minutes early and leave 10 minutes late. 20 minutes per day × 250 working days × 50 employees = 250,000 ₽ per year just for "entry and exit." And this is without a fine from the labor inspectorate. ## 3. Labeling Without Verification—Shipment Suspension The "Honest Sign" operator now checks whether you actually produce the goods for which you request labeling codes. Failure to confirm production results in a block on code issuance. A fine of 30,000–50,000 ₽ plus a suspension of shipments for weeks. --- ## Why Law Firms Benefit from Working with ASI Biont?
