FAS will regulate the ethics of "poaching" employees

And here comes a note from the government in a series about hiring employees. Or how best not to do it . Not really about IT, but, I think, it will also concern us as one of the most “active” in terms of hiring employees in the areas.

Nikolai Kartashov, head of the FAS Russia’s advertising and unfair competition control department, said that the state’s pressure on companies will increase in the near future. And if earlier the FAS was engaged in the control of transactions between companies, now they will also be concerned about the relations of companies with employees.

According to Nikolai Kartashov, "hiring an employee by dishonest means will be regarded as unfair competition."

“It’s unfair, this is when a company disseminates false information about your current employer, for example, that he is doing poorly and will soon go bankrupt. And the fact of inducing an employee of a competitor to break off labor relations, to violate labor contract standards is not a completely honest norm. The rights and obligations are fixed in the contracts. There can be many points, violation of which by the employee will harm his employer. As in the contract, restrictions on employment in competing companies may be fixed for several years after dismissal. And if an employee is being pushed from the side to such actions, this is also unfair competition. And the company that allowed it will be punished. ”

Also, Nikolai Kartashov explained that now a fine of 100 to 500 thousand rubles has been envisaged for violation of the competition law, plus the issuance of an order to continue not to carry out such actions.
