As of May 12, 2020, the period of so-called "non-working
days" established by Presidential Decrees No. 206, dated March
25, No. 239, dated April 2, and No. 294, dated April 28 in Russia
officially ended. Although most of the COVID-19 protective measures
still apply at the regional level, Russian federal and regional
authorities are expected to issue further regulations and guidance
regarding the easing of COVID-19 related restrictions in the coming
days. With that in mind, employers are considering return-to-work
plans. In this OnPoint, we will outline a number of issues which
employers will need to address in the course of getting employees
back to work (with a focus on employers located in
Moscow).
