What if the employee does not have all the documents available?
According to the law, it is impossible to refuse a job due to the lack of a work book and military ID.
If the work book is missing, including in the form of an electronic statement), then the employee must make a request for a duplicate at the last place of work. If the future employee is unable or unwilling to do this, a new work book is drawn up without previous entries on his letterhead.
In the absence of a military card (for those liable for military service), it is necessary to explain to the citizen his obligation to appear at the military registration and enlistment office at the place of residence or place of temporary registration to receive a military registration document, and also be sure to receive a receipt from him that the procedure for applying to him has been explained. If an employee has evaded military service, then he must have a certificate in his hands instead of a military ID. If a military ID is being reissued, a temporary certificate is provided to confirm this fact.
When registering a citizen liable for military service without a military ID, it is imperative to send information to the military registration and enlistment office at the place of residence or temporary registration that you are hiring this citizen and the information that he must appear at the military registration and enlistment office has been explained to him.
What else should be taken into account when processing documents?
When registering an employee for work, you should also check the need for a referral for a preliminary medical examination (according to the order of the Ministry of Health and Social Development of Russia No. 302N dated 2011-12-04). The employer pays for the preliminary medical examination. After receiving a referral for a medical examination, the future employee must go through it before concluding an employment contract.
