In Russian law and administrative practice form is very important. Often rights and obligations are created or lost with form, wrong form or lack of form. The labor law makes no exception to this rule; on the contrary, form has a very elevated position in matters regulating Russian human resources (HR) issues. The requirements to form call for a lot of attention on the part of management, and the necessity to secure the services of experienced HR managers or HR consultants. Any omissions in the correct drafting of documents or lack of those can lead to the employer losing some of its intended rights, as well as an increased taxation burden and potential liability for damages.
