What problem does it solve?
This Skill eliminates the risk of non-compliant internal workplace investigations for Russian employers, which can lead to unlawful disciplinary actions, labor disputes, and regulatory penalties from the Russian labor inspectorate (GIT).
Core Features & Use Cases
- Standardized Workspace Structure: Defines a consistent folder layout for all investigation matters to ensure organized documentation and clear audit trails.
- RF-Specific Privilege Protocols: Clarifies the absence of in-house counsel privilege in Russia, requirements for outside FPA attorney involvement to secure attorney-client privilege, and risks of mislabeling documents as privileged.
- Disciplinary Timing Rules: Outlines strict deadlines per Russian Labor Code (TK) Articles 192-193 for issuing disciplinary actions, requesting employee written explanations, and accounting for union opinions.
- Interview & Evidence Protocols: Provides compliant procedures for witness interviews, evidence chain of custody, and personal data handling per Russian privacy laws.
Use Case: For example, an HR team investigating employee theft can use this framework to ensure all procedural steps (such as obtaining a written explanation from the employee within 2 working days and consulting the union if the employee is a member) are followed to avoid the disciplinary action being ruled unlawful.
