REMOVING UNVACCINATED EMPLOYEES FROM WORK IS JUST A RECOMMENDATION
On July 23, 2021, following a meeting of the Coordinating Council for Combating the Spread of the New Coronavirus Infection in the Russian Federation, the Ministry of Labour and the Federal State Agency for Health and Consumer Rights sent clarifications on the organisation of vaccination in work collectives and the procedure for recording the percentage of vaccinated employees.
Those clarifications stated, in particular, that groups of citizens defined in decisions of the chief state sanitary doctors of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation should be vaccinated; those who refuse vaccination should be suspended from work. And that it is employers who need to ensure a level of collective immunity of at least 80% of the payroll of the team. These theses and a number of other theses contained in the explanations raised certain doubts about their legality.
The Ministry of Labour explained in its new letter that these clarifications are of a recommendatory nature, are not a normative legal act and do not form new obligations for the employer and the employee.
