Order compilation required document by personal order.

One of the important documents regulating the relationship between employees and employers in matters of shortage of property listed on the balance sheet or its damage is liability clause. Its registration must be carried out in accordance with regulatory legislative acts, as well as taking into account the rights and obligations of employees and organizations represented by legal entities. or physical faces.

Its main purpose is regulation of relationships between employees of the firm (organization, company, etc.) and the employer himself, acting as an individual or legal entity, in matters of ensuring the safety of property of a business entity.

The main point that this document touches on is the procedure and procedure for compensation for damage that may be caused to the employer’s property.

Separately, it is worth noting that the current legislation of the Russian Federation formalizes by employers provisions on financial liability is not a mandatory procedure, however, in practice, its presence greatly facilitates the process of compensation for damage caused, and also reveals the mechanisms for its implementation in particular cases and situations.

Although it is worth noting that the issues raised in such a document can be covered in others, for example:

  • about financial liability;
  • internal labor regulations of the organization;
  • liability agreements.

Thus, the company’s management independently determines whether to create a separate document for such purposes or to cover the necessary issues and points in other agreements and acts.

Legal basis for creation, goals and objectives

The legal basis for drawing up and signing a provision on liability are as follows: normative and legislative acts:

  1. Chapter 39 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation, which reflects the procedure for using and drawing up such a document. In particular, the method for determining the damage caused to the employer’s property, the implementation of its compensation, as well as the need to take into account third-party factors and features of the position or occupation are revealed.
  2. Resolution of the Ministry of Labor of the Russian Federation No. 85 of 2002, which shows a list of positions for which it is possible to apply a liability agreement. In addition, such a document provides a standard (on at the moment recommended) form listing the mandatory sections, the presence of which allows you to fully regulate all emerging issues of compensation for damage.

Main goals and objectives creating provisions on liability are:

  1. Determining the order of actions in specific situations regarding financial liability various persons upon detection of shortage or damage to property.
  2. Determining the type of responsibility depending on what responsibilities employees have and each of them’s access to certain species values ​​- they differentiate between collective, in which compensation is made at the expense of all employees, and the amount may only differ depending on the position they occupy, and individual, in which the compensation procedure falls entirely on certain person culpable for loss, waste or damage.
  3. Distinction between full and partial liability, in which the amount of damage is subject to compensation in full or partial.
  4. Determining the amount to be collected and how it is calculated.
  5. Clear delineation of the scope of responsibility of employees.
  6. Determining situations in which damage or loss of property is caused by factors beyond the control of employees, and, as a result, compensation for damage does not occur (the presence of a natural disaster, the fault of a security agency, flooding).

One of important points when drawing up a provision on financial liability, it is employee age. This fact is due to the fact that, according to the Labor Code of the Russian Federation, persons under the age of 18 cannot be involved in signing documents relating to this type of responsibility.

In addition, even after reaching the age of majority, employees can be financially responsible only if they have direct access to those values ​​for which they will be held accountable in the future.

Along with the impossibility of signing documents with persons under the age of majority, the law provides for actions in situations where persons under 18 may be directly involved in the damage caused.

Similar situations in which minors will have to pay damages include: following:

  • if a teenager has committed an act that falls under the definition of theft;
  • if a person has damaged or destroyed the organization’s property due to the influence of alcohol or drugs;
  • if the minor has committed other acts of a criminal nature.

Nuances when compensating for damage

When determining the methods and types of compensation for damage in the provision on liability, it is necessary to take into account the following features and nuances:

  1. To be able to recover damages from an employee (or group), evidence of his (or their) direct guilt is necessary.
  2. The amount of damage received by the employer can only be determined in terms of the actual loss or the cost of deterioration. In this case, it would be unlawful to calculate it with the addition of lost profit.
  3. The calculation of the amount due for recovery from workers is made based on the determination of market prices that were valid on the day either the damage was caused or its detection.
  4. In cases limited liability You cannot demand compensation from workers for damage that actually did not occur.
  5. If conditions have not been created for employees to ensure the safety of property, the employer has no right to demand compensation.

The procedure for recovering damages caused is carried out with mandatory implementation of the following steps:

Sample

The standard form (sample) of a provision on liability should contain the following information and points:

  • the name of the organization and the title of the document itself;
  • a brief description of the essence of the document, the grounds on which it is drawn up, general provisions;
  • rules and regulations that will be applied depending on the situation, the rights and obligations of the parties (employees and employer);
  • penalties for violation of clauses of this provision;
  • procedure for compensation for damage caused;

When compiling it, it is necessary to take into account everything existing standards legislation in this area.

In order to ensure uniformity and unification of procedures related to the coordination of the interests of participants in an employment contract in terms of protection against losses of the employer's property, companies are recommended to create a specialized provision on financial liability. This is an internal document of the organization, which describes all the nuances of assigning obligations to maintain the safety of property to an employee, as well as acceptable methods of compensation for losses caused by his fault.

Some unified forms provisions on financial liability of employees not provided for, there are no mandatory requirements for those points that must certainly be reflected in it. Companies determine the structure and content of such a document independently, based on their organizational, production features. With its help, two important tasks are solved:

  • a common procedure for applying responsibility for the values ​​entrusted to the employee is established for all personnel;
  • contradictions are eliminated and the likelihood of conflicts when collecting damages from an employee is reduced.

An alternative approach may be to include all the described points in other local acts without creating a separate provision on this issue. These include: a collective agreement, internal labor regulations, an additional agreement to each employment contract.

The legislative basis for the formation of a local act of liability is:

  1. The Labor Code of the Russian Federation - in terms of a special section reflecting the procedure for application, which defines approaches to assessing damage, the mechanism for compensating it, and the possibility of taking into account facts that mitigate the employee’s guilt or remove it completely.
  2. Resolution of the Ministry of Labor of Russia “On approval of lists of positions and works...” dated December 31, 2002 No. 85 (hereinafter referred to as Resolution No. 85) - it contains a closed list of positions for which it is permissible to apply an agreement on full financial liability, and also provides its standard form indicating a standard list of sections and issues covered in them.

Limitations on bringing to full liability established by Resolution No. 85

This regulatory act implies some restrictions for employers regarding the application of full financial liability.

To draw up contracts with an employee, it is advisable to use the form given in this provision, taking into account all the conditions specified in it, the sequence of presentation of the contents and the placement of details.

In addition to the list of professions for which it is possible to apply full responsibility, you must also take into account the description of the work where this resolution is allowed to be used. How carefully the employer pays attention to the contents contained in this regulatory document conditions and restrictions, the minimization of subsequent risks in situations where it will be necessary to obtain compensation for damage caused to the property status of the company largely depends. Serious elaboration of mechanisms for assessing actual damage even at the stage of concluding a contract will show the employee the amount possible risks and the seriousness of the organization’s intentions in protecting its material interests. That is why, when drawing up a contract, it is necessary to pay maximum attention to all details.

IMPORTANT! Companies are prohibited from concluding agreements on full financial liability with persons whose positions and work are not named in Resolution No. 85. If this is done, the employee’s rights will be violated and it is unlikely that it will be possible to obtain compensation for damages.

To prevent various types of errors, the list of items should be approved in advance staffing table, for which it is permissible to conclude agreements on liability, and strictly adhere to it in their work.

Specific points that require reflection in the provision on liability

Existing legislation connects the occurrence of an obligation to compensate for damage suffered by a company not only with the persons named in Resolution No. 85. In certain circumstances, any employee through whose fault they occurred will be required to compensate for losses incurred by the employer, even in the absence of a separate agreement on property liability. However, the list of such cases is quite limited.

The provision on financial liability of employees must take into account this opportunity, which is realized when following conditions on the basis of Art. 243 Labor Code of the Russian Federation:

  • valuables are damaged by a person intentionally;
  • material damage was caused due to the employee being under the influence of alcohol or narcotic or toxic substances;
  • loss of property occurred as a result of criminal actions of an employee, which is confirmed by a court verdict or an administrative violation established by government authorities;
  • damage, loss, or theft of assets was committed as a result of their use by an employee for personal needs;
  • the company’s loss arose as a result of the employee’s transfer to third parties of information constituting a commercial or other secret protected by law.

According to the last item on the list, a legal entity may have difficulty obtaining compensation. This is due to the fact that most of the losses due to leakage are strategically important information, for example, to competitors, takes the form of lost profits. And its coverage at the expense of the guilty person is not provided for in any of the articles of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation; moreover, it is directly stated that it does not fall under the agreement on financial liability.

In order to reduce the risk of such losses, a separate non-disclosure agreement is concluded with the employee who has access to classified information. trade secret. This will be another formal reason for bringing the person who violated its conditions to responsibility, including financial responsibility. Nevertheless, it will still not be possible to compensate for the income lost as a result, since labor relations do not fall under the provisions of Art. 139 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation on full coverage of losses arising in such a situation.

The influence of the employee’s age on the procedure for collecting damages

Due to the fact that there are some features of imposing penalties of a material nature on persons under the age of majority, it is important to take this circumstance into account when forming the provision on the financial liability of employees. Employees under 18 years of age must be under special control of the employer at all times.

IMPORTANT! It is prohibited to enter into financial liability agreements with minors, as well as to require them to cover the material damage caused.

The Labor Code of the Russian Federation directly states that only employees who have reached 18 years of age should sign agreements on financial liability, if they job responsibilities directly related to the maintenance of material or monetary assets.

At the same time, the law takes into account the interests of companies, suggesting in Art. 242 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation a reservation to the above provisions, which applies depending on the state in which minor worker committed a violation. In particular, it provides for an exception from general rule if the teenager committed theft, damage, damage while intoxicated (alcohol, drugs, toxic) or as a result of criminal actions proven in court. In the listed cases, regardless of age, the employee is obliged to compensate for losses in full if it is clearly established that they occurred through his fault.

Difficulties in obtaining compensation for losses from an employee

When drawing up a provision on financial liability, the company must clearly state in it the conditions under which the organization can turn to an employee for compensation for damage caused as a result of a violation job description material damage. However, to exercise his right, the employer will have to:

  • clearly establish a person’s guilt in causing damage to the property status of the company, and there must be documentary evidence this fact;
  • estimate the actual cost of losses or the amount that will have to be spent on restoring damaged objects;
  • to use to determine the final amount the market value of losses at the time the damage was identified, and it must not be lower than the residual accounting value of the damaged or stolen property minus natural loss;
  • do not make claims against the employee if no actual shortage or damage to property has been identified.

SHOULD BE NOTED! If valuables were stored in places not properly equipped to ensure their safety and integrity, the employee should be released from liability for possible theft or damage.

What needs to be done to claim compensation from an employee for the damage caused?

Besides general issues and a description of the procedure for concluding an agreement on financial liability, the provision must provide for a step-by-step procedure for claiming compensation for losses incurred from an employee. This procedure means a list of actions that the organization must take to cover the losses incurred at the expense of the guilty employee. Moreover, they are all in mandatory must be based on the norms of current legislation.

The first step is inventory

Before talking about the need to cover losses, it is necessary to establish the fact of their existence. To do this, the company conducts an inventory, which determines shortages in storage areas or whether property is in poor condition. At the same time, during the process, the identified losses are documented.

Before the start of the inventory, the manager must issue an order to carry it out.

Recalculation and initial comparison with accounting data are made in the inventory list, and the results are compiled in a reconciliation sheet.

Step two - study the circumstances of the damage

After identifying the fact of losses, the reasons due to which these losses arose must be comprehensively studied. For this purpose, a special working group employees conducting an investigation of all the circumstances of the case, its composition is approved by order of the head.

The employee must be required to provide a written explanation regarding the incident, which he must provide after 2 days. If explanations have not been received, an official act is drawn up, which records the fact of refusal to give explanations, which must also be documented by the commission.

The data received from the employee must be taken into account by the commission when making a decision on the employee’s involvement in the resulting shortage. When a group of employees is involved in a detected violation or abuse, the share of influence of each of them on the volume of the resulting shortage is determined.

Step three - determining the amount of losses in monetary terms

At this stage, the company's accounting department must find out the market valuation of lost, damaged, or stolen property. In this case, current prices for such objects and the residual value of the property being valued according to accounting data must be taken into account.

Step four - preparation of a package of documents for filing damages for collection

The results of official proceedings are public information and must be available to the employee or person acting in his interests. The company does not have the right to prevent an employee from studying and analyzing the data provided and documents related to the investigation carried out in order to subsequently challenge the commission’s conclusions. The duration of the final part of the procedure is largely determined by whether the organization needs to go to court to claim compensation for losses.

If the amount of damage does not exceed the average monthly salary of the perpetrator, the company can withhold this amount without going to court on its own. To do this, it is enough to issue an order signed by the manager. However, to implement of this action The company is given only one month from the moment the final amount of the loss incurred is determined in current prices.

An agreement can also be reached between the employer and the employee on the gradual repayment in installments of the employee’s resulting debt to the company. In this case, the employee must write a statement in which he voluntarily undertakes to repay the amount of the shortfall within a strictly specified period in the specified shares.

If it is not possible to reach an agreement with the employee and he avoids voluntary compensation in every possible way, the employer has the right to file a lawsuit for forced repayment of damages.

All of the above steps must necessarily be reflected in the text of the provisions on the financial liability of employees in one form or another. One of the samples of this provision is given below via the link on the website, by clicking on which you can familiarize yourself with it.

Losses caused to the company as a result of the actions (inactions) of an employee are subject to compensation. In addition to concluding a liability agreement, the company will have to take a certain list of steps to receive compensation for losses incurred. These are: conducting an inventory, organizing a commission to investigate and study all the circumstances of the offense, assessing the actual damage, and preparing the final package of documents. At the same time, the employee can compensate for minor damage within the average earnings immediately. Otherwise, if the employee does not agree to pay off the obligations that have arisen, the company will have to go to court.

The employer must include a description of all procedures related to the exercise of its right to receive compensation for losses incurred due to the fault of the employee in the provision on financial liability. If it is available, it will be much easier for the company to prove its position in court, and employees will have a better idea of ​​what they will face if they commit illegal actions, negligence or lack of diligence.

In this regard, the presence of such an internal document in the company is highly desirable, and its preparation should be taken with the utmost responsibility. At the same time the provisions of this document can be combined with other local acts, for example, a collective agreement or internal regulations.

A provision on employee financial liability is required to be drawn up in any company that wants to protect its property from negligence and abuse on the part of employees. In the article we will look at when a provision is drawn up, and also provide a sample provision on the financial responsibility of an employee.

Provision on liability

The Regulations on Material Liability of Employees (PMR) contains internal aspects of the company regarding the safety of its property. This document is a local document of the organization, which describes the scheme of interaction between the employer and the employee in terms of the safety of the company’s property. The provision also contains specifics for compensation for damage.

The mandatory preparation of a document is not provided for by law, and there are also no special requirements regarding the content and scope of this document. This document provides for the same approach to all employees of the company regarding their responsibility for the safety of property. It also contributes to the absence of disagreements between the employer and employee in matters of compensation for losses.

Important! The issue of financial liability may also be contained in other company documents, for example, in an employment contract or an agreement on financial liability.

Legislative framework

When drawing up a PMO, one should be guided by the Labor Code (Articles 238-250 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation), as well as Resolution of the Ministry of Labor of Russia No. 85 “On approval of lists of positions and...”. The Labor Code of the Russian Federation contains aspects for determining the amount of damage caused by employees to company property, the procedure for recovery, as well as conditions for excluding liability. The resolution is for informational purposes only. It contains a list of employee positions with which it is possible to conclude a financial responsibility agreement (MRA), as well as a template for this agreement. When concluding a contract with employees, you should check the list of positions specified in the Resolution, and also take into account the work specified in it.

Important! The employer should approach the drafting of the regulations with all responsibility. This will make it possible to resolve disputes related to damages in the future. In addition, the provision will make it possible to show employees the degree of their financial responsibility.

In order to protect their property, employers try to enter into a contractual agreement with each employee. In this case, he violates the rights of those workers whose positions and professions are not specified in Resolution No. 85, since he expands the list of persons specified in the Resolution without permission.

With whom is the liability agreement concluded?

It should also be borne in mind that full financial liability may also apply to those employees with whom the employer has not entered into a DMO (registration of a DMO is not required by law). Such liability is provided for in the following cases (243 Labor Code of the Russian Federation):

  • as a result of the employee’s intentional actions, the company’s property was damaged;
  • damage (loss, damage) to the company’s property was a consequence of the action or inaction of an employee who at that moment was in a state of alcoholic (drug or other) intoxication;
  • damage to property occurred as a result of criminal actions of an employee, or as a result of his committing an administrative offense;
  • damage to company property occurred as a result of its use for personal purposes;
  • damage to the company was caused as a result of the employee’s disclosure of information that is secret and protected by law.

Financial liability of minor workers

When drawing up a PMO, it is necessary to take into account the age of the employees who are assigned financial responsibility. Employees under the age of 18 require special treatment. For example, a DMO that will be concluded with such an employee will not have legal force. In addition, forcing minors to pay compensation for material damage is illegal. DMO can be concluded only with employees aged 18 and older (244 Labor Code of the Russian Federation) who are employed in positions related to money and commodity values.

However, this does not mean that workers under 18 years of age are completely exempt from damages and are not liable. In this case, the interests of the employer are protected by Article 242 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation. If, for example, the company’s property was damaged by the actions of minor employees who were in a state of alcohol (drug, other) intoxication or while committing a crime, then they will be required to compensate for the damage in full

Important! Other employees over 18 years of age are equal before the law and are obliged to compensate for damage caused to the employer’s property in accordance with the terms of the DMO.

Terms of compensation

In the PMO, the employer should provide for the conditions under which an employee can make claims for the performance of his duties in an improper manner and resulting in the need for compensation for damage. The employer will need:

  • collect evidence about the employee’s guilt;
  • determine the actual amount of damage, as well as the amount of costs for property restoration;
  • calculate the amount of compensation based on market prices established at the time of damage.

Procedure for collecting damages

When collecting material damages from an employee, the employer must comply with all legal requirements. His actions in this case will be as follows:

  1. Carrying out inventory. Before recovering damages from an employee, you will need to take an inventory of the property. This procedure will allow us to identify the fact of property damage and document it.
  2. Internal investigation. The purpose of this stage is to identify the causes of damage or loss of property. For this purpose, according to the order of the head, a special commission is created. In this case, the employee will need to draw up a written explanation, which will subsequently be considered by the commission.
  3. Calculate the amount of damage. When determining the amount of damage, take into account market price damaged property, and also compare it with the remaining amount from accounting.

An employer can recover the calculated amount of damage from an employee without going to court, but only if the amount of damage does not exceed the employee’s average salary. This must be done within 1 month from the date of calculation of the amount by order of the manager. If an employee evades compensation for damage, the employer may sue him.

Important! The above stages should be enshrined in the software. However, the contents of this document may vary in different organizations.

Conclusion

Thus, all financial losses that the company suffered due to the fault of the employee must be compensated by the employees. But for this, the employer will need to correctly carry out the compensation procedure. All stages of compensation, the procedure for interaction between the employer and employee regarding the safety of the company’s property are reflected in such a local document of the company as the provision on financial liability.
