Encouragement of employees who faithfully perform their official duties is provided for by article 191 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation. As a rule, the most common types of encouragement are a certificate, a valuable gift, an award, or a title. In order to document the feasibility of the promotion, the person in charge must first write a letter addressed to the head of the company where the encouraged employee works.
