Rostrud is ready to defend the rights of workers at reduced age in the courts

"We have now lifted all lists of companies with the Russian Pension Fund, where in the next 2019 there are those who will not retire, so they should be under the control of Employment services: We, on the oversight side, will implement policies to protect their rights in court, reinstatement, etc., "said Vukolov, adding that" the question of the increasing responsibility for discrimination is discussed, with regard to criminal responsibility. "

According to him, various proposals are being collected.

At the same time, Rostrud defends the implementation of existing measures: the monitoring of each individual case. "Every complaint has to be monitored by both the employment service, the labor inspectorate and the administrations (regions)," he said. [16] On June 16, the Russian government submits a bill to the Duma. They predict a gradual increase in retirement age to 65 for men (in 2028) and 63 for women (in 2034). The increase should be achieved in stages in 2019. Currently, the retirement age for men and women is respectively 60 and 55 years old.

It is expected that the document will be considered before the end of the spring session (before the end of July) at first reading. According to the President of the Council of the Federation, Valentina Matvienko, the law on pension reform will be adopted this autumn. The increase in the age of retirement does not affect the current retirees – it is about 46.5 million people. They will continue to receive all the benefits and pensions previously awarded.
