Shortcomings in working with obligated persons

The Vitebsk Transport Prosecutor's Office has analyzed the work of supervised enterprises on compliance with the norms of Decree of the President of the Republic of Belarus No. 18 of 24.11.2006 "On additional measures for state protection of children in dysfunctional families", and the effectiveness of the implementation of legislation on forcing negligent parents to work in order to strengthen their responsibility for children.

In accordance with the legislation, employers, jointly with internal affairs bodies and labor, employment and social protection bodies, control the daily attendance of obligated persons at work.

On the day of an obligated person's failure to appear at work, the employer informs the relevant labor, employment and social protection body and the internal affairs body about this, establishes the reasons for their absence, and takes measures to ensure the obligated person's attendance at work.

In violation of the specified requirements, the absence of an obligated person from the workplace of one of the enterprises was reported to the Department of Labor, Employment and Social Protection of the Vitebsk City Executive Committee after 4 days, and to the Internal Affairs Department of the Administration of the Pervomaysky District only after 9 days.

Explanations from the obligated person about the reasons for the unauthorized absences were not requested, conversations with him were not held, and he was not brought to disciplinary responsibility.

The untimely informing of the Internal Affairs Department allowed Chizhov E.Yu. to evade law enforcement agencies, avoid administrative responsibility, as well as payment of expenses for the maintenance of children under state care.

For the violations committed, two employees of the enterprise were brought to disciplinary responsibility at the request of the prosecutor.
