Procedure for consideration of labor disputes by the commission
According to the provisions of Article 387 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation, the labor dispute commission must:
- it is mandatory to register the employee’s application received by her.
- consider an individual labor dispute within ten calendar days from the date the employee submits the application.
The dispute is considered in the presence of the employee who filed the application or his authorized representative. However, upon a written application from the employee, it is possible to consider a labor dispute in the absence of the employee or his representative. If the employee (his representative) fails to appear at the meeting of the said commission, the consideration of the labor dispute must be postponed. If the employee (his representative) fails to appear again without good reason, the commission may make a decision to withdraw the issue from consideration, which does not deprive the employee of the right to submit an application for consideration of the labor dispute again within the three-month period established by Article 386 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation.
