Sometimes in life there are situations when the employee is not paid wages for his work done. Often this happens due to the employer's dishonesty or in the event of a conflict between the employer and the employee. However, such cases are illegal and can be resolved.
What is salary?
Salary is a monetary remuneration for the work done, the amount of which is determined by the qualifications of the employee, length of service and the conditions of his work.
Every work should be adequately paid regardless of any unforeseen situations or conflict between the worker and his employer.
In Russian legislation, there are articles that regulate the relationship between the employer and the employee. Article 22 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation states that the employer must pay the employee wages in full. And this is one of the main responsibilities of the employer. A correct employment contract must be concluded between the employer and the employee, which indicates the period, procedure, and the amount of wages. And this is stated in article 135 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation.
But sometimes it happens that not all of these requirements are met by the employer.
Where do you need to contact in case of non-payment of salaries
If the salary is not paid for more than 15 days, the employee has the right not to go to work, initially notifying the employer in writing. And, using the provisions of Article 409 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation, he can organize a strike.
You can achieve the payment of wages by contacting the higher authorities specializing in the protection of labor rights.
Any labor disputes are resolved through a court or through a labor dispute committee. This opportunity is provided by Article 382 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation.
Such a commission already exists or is being created again at the enterprise. It is composed of representatives of the employer and employees in equal proportions. Employees at the general meeting choose representatives for the commission, and those authorized by the employer are appointed by order of the management. Also, union members can represent the interests of the employee in the commission. It is necessary to apply to the labor council in the third month, after it became known about the violation of the worker's rights. Ten calendar days are given for consideration of the application. Its consideration is carried out with the participation of representatives of the employer and the employee (or his representatives). In the course of the proceedings, a decision must be made. Its implementation is mandatory for both parties. If the decision is not implemented within three days, the labor commission issues a certificate, and with it the employee can turn to the bailiffs, who will forcefully oblige the employer to comply with the decision and pay the employee wages.
Other bodies will also help to resolve the conflict. The worker can apply to the prosecutor's office or the state labor inspectorate. They are fully empowered to deal with such complaints from workers.
