New Rules on Financial Liability

25.08.2025
Ms. Olga Grigorieva
General Director

Approved by the Order of the Ministry of Labor of the Russian Federation dated 16.04.2025 No. 251n.

Main changes

  • Updated list of positions with individual liability. The new list includes cashiers (including online cash registers), storekeepers and warehouse staff, sales consultants in jewelry stores, logisticians responsible for valuable cargo, hotel administrators (responsible for room property), and bank employees handling valuables.
  • New types of work with collective liability. Team (brigade) liability is now possible for loaders handling fragile valuable goods, teams of premium-segment sales floors, and shift workers operating high-tech equipment.
  • Modern standard forms of contracts. New templates have been approved: for individual liability (with details of digital assets) and for collective liability (with mechanisms for distributing damages).

There is no need to re-sign existing full financial liability agreements. They can be amended, supplemented, or terminated by written agreement of the parties, provided the contract terms do not contradict the Labor Code of the Russian Federation.
