In Kuzbass after the intervention of the Prosecutor’s office restored the rights of the doctor

The Prosecutor’s office of Mezhdurechensk conducted an audit of the implementation of labor legislation in a medical institution. During the supervisory measures, it was established that on the basis of the order of the head of the institution, the epidemiologist was illegally reduced payments for harmful working conditions and additional paid leave was reduced.

Harmful working conditions for the position of an epidemiologist were established by a special assessment in 2023. However, in violation of the requirements of the law, in December 2024, this position was unreasonably excluded from the lists of positions that are provided with guarantees and compensation for harmful working conditions. In February 2025, an agreement was signed to the doctor’s employment contract to reduce additional paid leave and reduce salary.

In order to eliminate the violations committed by the city prosecutor's office, the head of the medical institution made a submission. As a result of its consideration, the guilty official was brought to disciplinary responsibility.

In addition, the prosecutor opened two cases on administrative offences: under Part 6 of Art. 5.27 of the Administrative Code of the Russian Federation (incomplete payment of wages or other payments within the framework of labor relations) and under Part 1 of Art. 5.31 of the Administrative Code of the Russian Federation (failure by the employer to fulfill obligations under a collective agreement, agreement). As a result of the consideration of cases, fines were imposed on officials.

Thanks to the measures taken by the prosecutor's response, the violated rights of the employee of the health care institution were fully restored.
