Notification of government

Employers are required to provide notification, hiring even those foreigners who are not required to have authorization documents for employment (p. 8 Art. 13 of the Law № 115-FZ Federal Law of November 24, 2014 № 357-FL).

1. There is overall liability for all employers – within three working days they should notify the FMS of Russia in the territorial entity where a foreigner works (who obtained a licence of his/her employment and dismissal). This regulation is valid for foreigners with or without visa (p. 8, Art. 13 of the Law № 115-FL, application number 21 to the FMS Order of Russia on June 28, 2010. № 147). If an employer does not do it, he/she can be given warning for two reasons. That is for hiring an employee without permission or a licence and without the notice of a conclusion of the employment agreement or the civil law contract (Ch. 1, 3 Art. 18.15 of the Administrative Offence Code of the Russia Federation).

2. Need to notify is abolished in the following cases: (Federal Law of November 24, 2014 № 357-FL):

- Employment services in the territorial entities of the conclusion and termination of contracts with foreign employees;
