Teacher from Pinezh district is suing for refusal to hire

The Pinezh court of the Arkhangelsk region is considering a civil case on the claim of a local resident, who demands to recognize the refusal to hire a physics teacher as unreasonable and oblige the institution to conclude an employment contract. She also wants compensation for moral damage.

The woman claims that she has the necessary education, qualifications and work experience, and she applied for the vacancy of a physics teacher, which she saw on the website “Work of Russia”. However, the institution first requested additional documents, and then stated that there were no vacancies.

The plaintiff provided documents confirming her qualifications and repeatedly improving her level of knowledge. She believes that the refusal was caused not by her professional qualities, but by fictitious reasons.

The court decided to involve the prosecutor of the Pinega district in the case. The preliminary meeting is scheduled for December 1, 2026.
