Salaries must be paid, even if a company is declared bankrupt

The company was declared bankrupt and is now at the stage of bankruptcy proceedings. However, not all employees have been laid off, and some work is still being performed, but due to a shortage of cash, the wages are being paid irregularly. Should the employer have to pay compensation for salaries that went into arrears during the period of bankruptcy proceedings, or just a percentage, in accordance with Article 236 of the Russian Labour Code, can be paid at the time of final settlement with the staff upon conclusion of the bankruptcy proceedings? – Asks Maria Rotanova via the website tspor.ru.

Medications will become interchangeable

The Russian government approved the procedure for determining the interchangeability of drugs for medical use. The corresponding decree was signed by Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev. Some industry representatives did not see in this document anything that the market had been expecting – a decision on interchangeability, and consider it just the next in a series of “guidelines”. However, the FAS has firmly stated that no other regulations on interchangeability are foreseen for the future.

Bankruptcy without “Sistema”

Monitoring of the bankruptcy of Sigma Capital Partners LLC, in the near future, will be transferred almost entirely to the Sulby Holdings Corp, which in 2010, the owner of the SMARTS Company Gennady Kiryushin called “friendly”.

Pravo.Ru-300: Among strangers – why Russian law firms do not lead in international rankings

In creating the first national ranking of law firms – the Pravo.Ru-300, analysts discovered a curious fact – the results of their market research of Russian law firms gave a very different picture from that painted by international rating agencies, where the traditional leaders are the ILFs (International Law Firms), while the RULFs (Russian Law Firms) are given much more modest spots. And indeed, many successful law practices were not even mentioned in these ratings. The editorial staff at Pravo.Ru decided to look into this matter and make a detailed investigation of the procedures used when developing international rankings.

Are contributions to be paid on compensation for the travel

“We pay employees compensation for travel. These amounts are small, and so, as not to argue with the SIF Fund about taxable benefits, we calculated contributions based on these, and included this in the calculation of earnings for benefits. Now we have asked for reimbursement of benefits, but the Social Insurance Fund has refused us. And all because of these compensations. The fund requires us to use benefits that we do not need. And says that we have no right to pay contributions on compensation. Now we have to recalculate everything, redo the financial reports, etc. Is there another way out?”

Individuals can now go bankrupt

A law on personal bankruptcy has come into force in Russia, and since that time, already in the Samara Region the Arbitration Court has received about a hundred requests for the bankruptcy of individuals, with the majority of these appeals coming from the debtors themselves. Although several petitions against individuals were also launched by the banks. However, according to some experts, credit institutions, for the time being, have taken a wait-and-see attitude. In general, representatives of the banking sector, questioned by Kommersant-Bank, and lawyers have positive opinions of this new law, although they have noted that there are some controversial points, and the document is still subject to new amendments.
