Deputy Prime Minister Tatyana Golikova held the next meeting of the Russian Tripartite Commission for the Regulation of Social and Labor Relations.
The meeting considered and supported by the parties the draft federal law "On Amendments to the Labor Code of the Russian Federation", developed on the instructions of the President of Russia Vladimir Putin with the aim of improving the provisions governing the apprenticeship contract. Thus, it was proposed to supplement Chapter 32 of the Labor Code with provisions specifying the status of apprenticeship contracts, the obligations of the parties, as well as the types of programs mastered during the apprenticeship period. In addition, it was proposed to include individual entrepreneurs in the circle of persons who are allowed to conclude apprenticeship contracts. For the apprentice, the bill provides for guarantees of employment, as well as the payment of a scholarship at the expense of the employer for the entire period of training. The employer, in turn, will be able to return the funds spent on training in cases where the apprentice has not fulfilled the obligations specified in the contract. In addition, the bill provides for a mechanism for co-financing the costs of employers at the expense of the budgets of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation. It is expected that the expansion of the practice of using apprenticeship contracts will become an effective mechanism for training qualified personnel, which will help solve the problem of staffing, and will also become a social lift for workers, as it will open up prospects for successful employment, career growth and increased wages.
The commission members also discussed and supported the draft federal law "On Amending Article 1 of the Federal Law "On the Minimum Wage", according to which, from January 1, 2026, the minimum wage will increase by 20.7% and will amount to 27,093 rubles. The adoption of the bill will lead to an increase in wages for about 4.6 million workers.
In addition, the members of the RTC were presented with reports on the activities of two regional tripartite commissions for the regulation of social and labor relations – the Leningrad Region and the Republic of Dagestan.
