The direct signing of the contract by the parties should always be preceded by a preliminary acquaintance of the future employee with all internal acts in force in specific organization... This action is the direct responsibility of the employer.

Individual labor contract

In order for a formal relationship to arise between the employer and the new employee, the parties must sign a properly drawn up employment contract. It is this document that will secure the rights of both parties to these relations in accordance with the applicable law.

In relation to an employee, as a rule, the following duties are established: to carry out their professional duties properly, to comply with the norms and internal regulations in force in the team. The employer, in turn, undertakes to create the most favorable working conditions for the employee, to provide everyone necessary equipment and pay salaries due regularly.

An employment contract is always personal document, that is, it is concluded with a specific citizen. You cannot apply for employment through a representative or through another responsible person.

The subject of the contract will be the execution itself professional responsibilities, regardless of the exact form in which they are expressed.

The individual labor contract must necessarily include all conditions, one way or another concerning the future labor activity specific person. Moreover, these conditions can be divided into two main types: mandatory and optional.

Mandatory conditions

These include the following provisions:

  • about the essence of future work;
  • about the position to which a specific employee enters, with its full name;
  • about the features of the location of the workplace and other relevant nuances;
  • on the validity period of this document signed by the parties.

An employee contract may have an exact expiration date. In this case, it will be considered urgent. The maximum validity period for such a document is 5 years.

The conclusion of a fixed-term employment contract is not always possible, but only in some cases:

  1. If the work is seasonal and is performed at a certain time of the year, while in another period it is not necessary to perform it.
  2. If the main reason for employing an employee was to replace a temporarily absent employee in a specific position.

In the event that the content of the contract does not say anything about the end date of its validity period, it is considered indefinite. This document can be terminated at any time, but already by agreement of the parties, or unilaterally, if there are appropriate grounds.

If the employer has entered into a fixed-term employment contract with an employee in the absence of appropriate grounds for this, his actions will be recognized as illegal. In this case, the court may order him to conclude termless contractand also establish a certain fine as a punishment.

Additional terms included in the contract

Additional conditions, which are sometimes included in the contract, are information that does not directly relate to the procedure for work and relevant aspects... These conditions include data on the provision of housing to employees, an indication of additional payments that are due to certain employees, etc.

At the same time, an important nuance is the fact that all additional conditions should never worsen the employee's current situation or violate his legal rights.

Others important conditions, which should also be indicated in the contract, include the following:

  • full information about the employee - his full name, residence address, as well as about the employer - his full name, residence address, grounds for having the appropriate powers;
  • the place where the employment contract was signed, as well as the date of its signing.

The last stage of the contract execution is always the signing of both parties. Without this step, the document will not have full legal force.

Collective labor agreement

The peculiarities of the collective agreement are that it can be concluded between a whole team of employees and their immediate supervisor. The main purpose of signing this document is also to establish the rights and obligations of the parties in an official manner.

It is these representatives who must develop the necessary provisions of the treaty, which will comply with the current norms and the current procedure.

The provisions of the collective agreement, as well as of the individual, should never violate the rights and legitimate interests employees. As a rule, this document includes the establishment of the following obligations:

  • ensuring timely payment of labor;
  • provision of additional payments and compensations to certain categories of employees;
  • regular revision of the current amount of wages, depending on the general state of the economy in the state, as well as on other additional factors;
  • compliance with applicable rules for the regular provision of paid leave;
  • providing assistance in training new employees or upgrading the qualifications of already experienced employees;
  • compliance with established standards for work on weekends and official holidays.

At the request of the parties, an unlimited amount of additional information can be entered into the contract, if there is such a need. At the same time, absolutely every employee before employment must be thoroughly familiar with the current collective agreement and its main provisions.

Unlike an individual one, the conclusion of a collective agreement is not the responsibility of the employer. This is done, rather, for the convenience of recording all the important nuances of the work of a particular organization. In most cases, this practice is used in fairly large institutions or enterprises.

The main differences

Despite their obvious similarity, individual and collective labor contracts still have significant differences between themselves. Collective agreement can be concluded with the entire team at once, while an individual one involves signing it exclusively by the employer and one employee.

An individual labor contract can be both fixed-term and indefinite, while a collective document can be valid for no more than three years, after which it becomes necessary to renegotiate it further.

The employer's ignorance of the obligation to conclude an individual labor contract with a new employee may entail the establishment of certain liability for violation of the mandatory requirements of the state.

The absence of a collective agreement in the organization does not pose any danger to the employer and employees, since the presence of such a document is more a desire than an obligation.

An individual labor contract always contains the most obligatory and necessary provisions, including both the rights of the parties and their basic obligations. The collective agreement is drawn up rather in the interests of employees, to provide them with additional benefits and certain privileges.

Individual and collective labor contracts are important documents that are directly related to the labor activity of a particular organization. Therefore, their compilation should be treated with the utmost responsibility. None of the provisions of these two documents should contradict the applicable labor laws, as well as other laws and regulations.

  • participation in the settlement of collective labor disputes;
  • obtaining and using information on social and labor issues;
  • participation in the organization of training and advanced training of trade union personnel;
  • control over compliance with labor legislation;
  • participation in the formation of programs for the protection of labor and the environment;
  • participation in the privatization of state and municipal property;
  • social protection of employees.

In the most developed countries traditionally strong positions of trade unions in solving the following tasks:

  1. increasing wages to a level corresponding to the concept of sufficient for the normal existence of a person in the given socio-economic conditions;
  2. shorter working hours and better working conditions;
  3. the use of benefits due to the specifics of this type of work, in order to maintain normal performance;
  4. application of measures of influence on employers in case of failure to accept the requirements of employees;
  5. maintaining the number of employees at the enterprise;
  6. decrease in staff turnover and layoffs initiated by the administration;
  7. regulation of labor disputes.

At enterprises, labor disputes (conflicts), including collective ones, concerning labor and wages are frequent. Labor disputes between the employee and the administration of the enterprise are considered: firstly, by the commissions on labor disputes at enterprises and, secondly, by district (city) people's courts. Consideration of collective labor disputes takes place in accordance with the Law of the Russian Federation "On the procedure for resolving collective labor disputes" of November 23, 1995 No.
