The State Duma allowed to reduce the amount of bonuses for employees in case of disciplinary action

The State Duma on Tuesday, May 27, adopted in the second and third readings a government bill providing for adjustments to the Labor Code of the Russian Federation regarding the procedure for taking into account employee performance when calculating bonuses.

The document states that bonuses are established by collective agreements and local acts, taking into account labor efficiency and possible disciplinary penalties. Employers will also be able to determine them based on the quality, efficiency and duration of an employee's work, she added.Газета.Ru ".
