According to our information, the company announced a massive layoff. Employees of the development department who collaborated as individual entrepreneurs and under GPC agreements are mainly subject to dismissal; we do not know their exact number. The reason was a drop in profits amid the economic crisis: demand for the company’s products fell, and the educational services market was divided by large corporations (Sberbank, Mail ru, Yandex, etc.), which force them to compete with themselves on obviously unequal terms. Despite financial difficulties, The company's management promised compensation for everyone with whom he plans to break up: from two to three salaries in hand upon dismissal (depending on length of service in the company), recommendations for subsequent employment and help in finding a job. Note to team leaders: the labor market will soon be replenished with highly qualified specialists.

If you are affected by layoffs and have an employment contract, consider whether you are satisfied with the compensation offered. We we remind youthat in case of reduction according to the Labor Code of the Russian Federation:

– The company is obliged to personally, against signature, inform about the reduction no later than 2 months before the date of dismissal.

– On the day of dismissal, the company is obliged to pay 1 average salary as severance pay.

– If the employee agrees, the contract can be terminated earlier. In this case, the employer undertakes to pay the difference between the actual date and the date specified in the notice. For example, an employee works for two weeks, receiving a salary for this, after which the employer pays him 1.5 average salaries plus another one as severance pay.

– If in the second month after dismissal he has not found a job (it is not necessary to register), he has the right to one average salary.

– Within 14 working days after dismissal, an employee can register with the employment service. If in the third month after dismissal he has not found a job, then, according to the decision of the employment service, he has the right to payment of one average salary.

Thus, by reduction you can receive from 1 to 5 average salaries. Whether the game is worth the trouble or whether it’s easier to part with the proposed compensation is up to you to decide.

The company has not yet been involved in major labor disputes. We hope that it remains important for management to maintain its reputation as an honest employer and promised compensation will be paid in full. If, after your dismissal, you think that you have been deceived, write to us at feedback bot.

Mass layoffs in the IT industry are acquiring signs of a systemic phenomenon. Remaining employees should remember that they are not immune from layoffs, either in the mentioned company or in any other. The only way to protect against sudden contractions is self-organization and solidarity of workers. What happened will be a good reason for creation of a primary trade union organization.
