The chief accountant is one of the main figures in any company. He is responsible for submitting reports, organizing accounting, and the seals are often kept by the chief accountant. Naturally, his dismissal will affect the work of the entire enterprise. How to correctly carry out this operation without negative consequences for the company?
Instructions
Step 1
Before dismissing the chief accountant, carefully read the Labor Code of the Russian Federation and the Law "On Accounting" (No. 129-FZ of November 21, 1996). It is these normative acts that regulate the procedure for the appointment and, accordingly, the dismissal of the chief accountant.
Step 2
Please note that in accordance with Article 70 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation, the chief accountant is subordinate only to the head of the enterprise, therefore only the general director can dismiss him.
Step 3
Try to come to an agreement with your chief accountant so that he resigns of his own free will with the wording "by agreement of the parties." In this case, in accordance with the current Labor Law, you will not have to pay severance pay, and your accountant will not have to work for two weeks.
Step 4
If you become the new owner of the enterprise, dismiss the old chief accountant under article 75 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation. But remember, with such a dismissal, you must pay compensation to the resigned accountant. Compensation must be at least three of his average monthly earnings.
Step 5
Keep in mind that the chief accountant is a special figure of the enterprise, therefore, in addition to the general grounds for dismissal, there are other special reasons for dismissal for chief accountants. So, you can terminate the employment contract with the chief accountant if his activities brought damage to the property of your company (Article 81 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation), or he violated a commercial secret.
Step 6
Before dismissing a chatty employee, read the Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation No. 35 of December 5, 1991. This Resolution contains a list of information that is not considered a commercial secret. So, for example, information contained in tax reports or in the Charter of an enterprise cannot be considered a trade secret.
Step 7
And lastly, do not forget that the chief accountant knows all the pitfalls of your company, therefore, do your best to part with him peacefully. Give him a decent severance pay - it will cost much more to divulge your secrets.
