Who in the company should develop job descriptions? Who should develop job descriptions

The head of the company is responsible for the organization of accounting. In most cases, he transfers key accounting powers to the most qualified financial specialist - the chief accountant. More about this in our article.

Which business entities are required to keep accounting

In accordance with the provisions of Art. 6 of the Law "On Accounting" dated December 6, 2011 No. 402-FZ, all types of business entities are required to maintain accounting records, except for:

IP (subject to accounting for own income and expenses by other methods provided for by tax legislation);
structural subdivisions of foreign companies operating in Russia (subject to keeping records of revenue and costs in accordance with the norms of tax legislation).

The organization must keep accounting from the moment of state registration and until the termination of activities. Failure to comply with this statutory obligation threatens the company with legal consequences in the form of measures established in Art. 120 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation (fine) and Art. 15.11 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation (fine or disqualification of officials).

It is in the interests of the company to keep correct accounting. Who should be responsible for organizing it?

Who is responsible for bookkeeping

The legislator does not disclose the concept of "organization of accounting", despite the fact that this phrase is given, in particular, in one of the main regulations governing accounting - order of the Ministry of Finance of Russia dated July 29, 1998 No. 34n.

The head of the economic entity is responsible for organizing accounting (clause 6 of order No. 34n). From the experience of practical activities under the organization of accounting it is legitimate to understand:

legal registration of the accounting system (for example, the establishment of a regulation on accounting, the issuance of orders to include positions responsible for accounting in the staff list, recruitment of specialists for the relevant positions);
technical support of the accounting system (purchase of computers, accounting software and other infrastructure necessary for the work of specialists);
organization of direct accounting.

Who is responsible for bookkeeping

The head is also responsible for organizing accounting (clause 1, article 7 of law No. 402-FZ). Unless otherwise provided by law, the head of the company is obliged to assign accounting functions to a competent person (clause 3, article 7 of law No. 402-FZ). They may be:

chief accountant or other competent employee of the company (in banking institutions - only the chief accountant);
a third-party organization or individual providing services under a contract.

To keep accounting himself, without involving other persons, full-time or freelance, can only:

the head of an economic entity who, by law, has the right to apply simplified accounting methods;
head of an enterprise classified as a medium-sized business entity.

If an economic entity is registered as a JSC, has the status of an NPF, is a bidder or operates in the insurance business, accounting in it must be carried out by a person who has a level of qualification, experience and competence specified by law.

Requirements for the person responsible for accounting

Qualification requirements for a person applying for a position involving the performance of accounting functions depend on the legal status and industry affiliation of the enterprise.

So, in accordance with paragraph 4 of Art. 7 of Law No. 402-FZ, a chief accountant who is hired by a joint-stock company, an insurance company, a private pension fund, a financial management company and other firms that participate in the auction (but are not banks) must meet one of the following qualification requirements:

higher education in the field of accounting and auditing, as well as work experience in a position related to accounting for at least 3 years out of 5 preceding the appointment to the position of accountant;
the presence of higher education in any specialization, as well as work experience related to accounting, lasting at least 5 years out of 7 preceding the appointment.

In addition, in both cases, the accountant should not have an unexpunged or outstanding conviction for economic crimes.

Separate qualification requirements are established for the chief accountant of a banking organization (clause 7, article 7 of Law No. 402-FZ).

In the general case, the head of the company or the HR manager who is hiring the chief accountant should be guided by the qualification requirements established by the professional standard "Accountant", approved by order of the Ministry of Labor of the Russian Federation of February 21, 2019 No. 103n.

The content of the work of the person responsible for accounting

The chief accountant or other person responsible for accounting in the company, in the process of performing his work, solves such tasks as:

ensuring correct accounting (in terms of document flow, indicating reliable data in reporting);
ensuring timely accounting (reporting);
acceptance into circulation of primary and other documents certifying business transactions in accordance with the law;
reconciliation of economic settlements with counterparties;
timely inventory of the company's property;
ensuring the safety of accounting documents.

Job responsibilities of the chief accountant are prescribed in the employment contract. What will happen if the person holding this position violates them?

Read more about the duties of the chief accountant in our publications:

“We are looking for extra duties in the job description of the chief accountant”;
"We are making changes to the job description".

Violation of labor duties by an accountant: consequences

If the chief accountant violates his duties typical of his position, he can be held liable in accordance with labor, administrative and criminal legislation.

The chief accountant may be held liable under labor law on the basis of:

Art. 192 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation (possible sanctions - remark, reprimand, dismissal);
paragraph 9 of Art. 81 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation (possible sanction - dismissal);
Art. 243 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation (a possible sanction is the recovery by the company of compensation for material damage).

The provisions of Art. 192 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation can be applied by the employer in case of direct non-fulfillment by the accountant of the duties established by the employment contract or his job description.

The norms of paragraph 9 of Art. 81 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation, the employer has the right to apply if the accountant makes one or another decision that will entail damage to the property of the company or the misuse of this property.

The sanctions under Art. 243 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation, can be applied to the chief accountant if he:

caused material damage to the company due to non-fulfillment of obligations;
allowed a shortage of material values that were entrusted to him;
caused damage to the company intentionally;
caused damage in the company under the influence of alcohol, drugs;
caused damage by committing a crime, an administrative offense;
allowed the disclosure of trade secrets;
caused damage to the company outside the period of performance of labor duties.

In addition, the employment contract may establish other criteria for the emergence of material liability of the chief accountant.

IMPORTANT! Full liability may be assigned to the chief accountant, provided that this is established by the employment contract. If the employment contract does not provide that the chief accountant in the event of damage is liable in full, then liability for damage can be recovered only in the amount of his average monthly salary (clause 10 of the Resolution of the Plenum of the Supreme Court of November 16, 2006 No. 52).

If we talk about administrative responsibility, then, based on the provisions of Art. 15.11 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation, an accountant as an official in the event of a gross violation of accounting (in accordance with the criteria established by paragraph 2 of article 15.11 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation) can be:

fined 5,000-10,000 rubles;
fined 10,000-20,000 rubles or disqualified for 1-2 years if the violation is repeated.

ATTENTION! In 2019 at Art. 15.11 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation, amendments were made to provide for the possibility of releasing an accountant from liability if he made errors in accounting due to the fault of third parties. We talked about them in detail in this article.

The chief accountant may be held criminally liable on the basis of Art. 199, 199.1, 199.4 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation. The norms established by these articles are applied if, due to the actions of an accountant, the company was recognized as evading taxes and insurance premiums. Possible sanctions:

fine;
arrest;
deprivation of liberty.

Sanctions become more severe if it is proved that the crime was committed by several employees of the company by prior agreement, or tax evasion on an especially large scale is revealed.

Liability under Art. 199 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation, the chief accountant is liable only if fraud with large sums is proved, carried out intentionally or in collusion with the head (clauses 7, 8 of the resolution of the plenum of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation of December 28, 2006 No. 64).

Violations in accounting: the responsibility of the head or chief accountant

Of course, miscalculations in accounting can have consequences for the head of the company. Under what circumstances can he be held liable?

There are no norms in the federal legislation yet, on the basis of which it is possible to unambiguously distinguish between the responsibility of the chief accountant and the head of the organization. The determining role in this case is played by law enforcement practice, primarily judicial.

So, in the resolution of the plenum of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation of October 24, 2006 No. 18, a position was expressed, according to which the division of responsibility between the accountant and the head should be carried out based on the difference in the obligations assigned to them: the head is responsible for organizing accounting, while the accountant is responsible for its correct accounting. conducting.

IMPORTANT! It can be concluded that the head in the general case may be responsible for the failure or incorrect organization of accounting. Such actions or, on the contrary, inaction of the head of the company can lead to the fact that it is he, and not the chief accountant, who will be fined or disqualified under Art. 15.11 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation.

If miscalculations are made directly in accounting, it is legitimate to say that the accountant and the director may be jointly responsible for the legal consequences of errors or deliberate actions.

In addition, the wording of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation allows us to conclude that only the head will be responsible for the consequences of errors in bookkeeping if it turns out that the accountant was forced to carry out illegal actions due to the direct written order of the head.

NOTE! In accordance with paragraph 8 of Art. 7 of Law No. 402-FZ, an accountant has the right to request an appropriate order on his own initiative. For example, if he considers that as a result of putting his signature on a particular financial document, the company cannot avoid unpleasant consequences.

One way or another, it should be recognized that the division of responsibility between the chief accountant and the head of the company based on the norms of the law and law enforcement practice is an extremely ambiguous issue. Much depends on the circumstances of a particular precedent, the evidence base, the degree of seriousness of the offense, as well as the assessment of the facts relevant to the case by the competent executive or judicial authorities.

Results

Accounting is one of the most important areas of the company's activity from the point of view of business management. The head of the company is responsible for the organization of accounting. Key accounting functions in the company are performed by an experienced and qualified specialist at the level of chief accountant. He is responsible for his work in accordance with the norms of the law, as well as the terms of the employment contract.

"The right of the second signature of the chief accountant on documents" ;
“When is the work on the restoration of accounting performed?” and etc.

The section of management science that provides the manager with all the necessary information for making decisions is called management accounting (MA).

Is it possible to build such a system of management accounting that it really ensures the collection, registration, storage and provision of information for the manager in a form convenient for making managerial decisions?

STAFF - AN IMPORTANT ELEMENT OF THE CU SYSTEM

“I have a dream, a manager’s dream,” once said the head of a large computer salon in Moscow. “I want to sit in front of my computer and have one big green button on the monitor. If the whole button is green, then everyone in my company it works correctly, there are no failures.If the button starts to turn red at one end, it means that some operation went wrong, and the redder the button, the more problems the company may have.I want this button to be able to trace the activities of the company through to the smallest detail, such an integrated system.

If I had a button like that, I wouldn't be doing problem solving and putting out fires all the time, but looking at the button and coming up with a strategy for the company.” Would you like to have a green button?

In the formulation of management accounting, as in any other project, there are two components.

First- this is a set of tasks: how to implement a management accounting system in a company, who will perform accounting functions, when management reports should appear.

Second- financial technologies themselves: preparation of financial and operational management reports, methods for grouping and evaluating management data, data analysis, principles for reflecting current operations in the management chart of accounts.

Those principles of construction of the CM system, which are applied now, already surpass only the tasks of accounting. We are already talking about the information management system in the company as an integral part of the management system as a whole.

Since accounting requires a combination of both financial and non-financial technologies, the project should involve people who can easily distinguish debit from credit, as well as specialists with project management experience and knowledge of information technology.

Is it possible and necessary to entrust the setting of the CU to an accountant? Practice shows that such a combination of responsibilities is not correct and in some cases can be harmful to the company.

Imagine you have a good accountant. And accounting, I must say, is one of the busiest services in the company. And yet, accounting is the only service in the company that reports primarily to the Ministry of Finance and only then to the general director. In his work, the accountant is obliged to comply with the letter of the instruction, require the correct execution of primary documents and calculate profit to the nearest penny.

When we are talking about the management accountant and, accordingly, the management accountant, we use completely different categories. The management accountant is required to have as much up-to-date information, financial estimates and forecasts as possible. The accuracy allowed is very approximate. At a meeting with the head of the management service of one of the largest Russian companies, the author was told: "We at least determine the order of numbers when we draw up a report and a cash flow forecast. Plus or minus $ 500,000 does not matter." The very thinking of an accountant and a managerial accountant-economist is absolutely different and should be different.

What happens if the manager decides to combine the accountant and the management accountant in one person? He will most likely get a "mutant". If you have a great accountant or economist, then by trying to impose thinking that is unusual for them, the director risks losing a good specialist.

Even in the largest company, the CU production team should not exceed 7 people (remember the rule of Alexander the Great or Parkinson's laws). The ideal management accounting team will consist of at least a financier, an information technology specialist, a manager (project manager, engineering technology specialist) and, of course, a general director.

It must be said right away that a project carried out without the direct participation of the company's chief executive is doomed to failure with almost 100% probability. As consultants, we never start a project unless the first person is involved. This, as a rule, is just a waste of time and money of the client.

Why is the participation of the first person so necessary?

Firstly, when setting up the CM system, the company's management structure undergoes natural changes: employees have new functions related to the accounting process and reporting, and the flow of information within the company is being streamlined.

Secondly, the manager is the most important user of management reports, which are customized directly to the needs and preferences of a particular manager.

And finally, thirdly, as any changes in the organization, the introduction of the PM system will cause natural resistance from the employees of the organization. This needs to be understood and prepared for. Employees will oppose the implementation of any innovation in the company (this effect operates without exception in management and is called "resistance to change").

Therefore, to implement the project, strong political will and appropriate powers are needed - only the first person of the company has such a combination.

WHERE TO START THE STUDY OF YU?

The degree of regularization of accounting technologies is extremely low. It is difficult to say right away whether the management balance sheet or the operating overhead report in the company is compiled correctly, since the PM system is extremely specific in each company, especially if we take into account the high creativity of Russian managers.

Many times, coming to the enterprise, we stated a common diagnosis for companies - the "reinvention of the wheel" of management accounting. It could be a single 50-column, 3240-row "everything" report, or an income and expense report that accrues income and pays expenses. In practice, there are surprising ways of accounting: from outright mistakes due to ignorance of technology to very interesting scientific innovations that one would like to recommend to the Nobel Committee.

So, you have a tense situation with management information in your company - either a "bicycle", or "there is no management accounting, but I really want to." What should be done in such cases?

First, to note that having a system is clearly a better option than not having a system as such.

Secondly, here you can open a small professional secret: the CU system in one form or another is present in every company, although it may be called differently; the leader somehow organizes a certain environment of management information to support his decision-making.

First, it is important to fundamentally fix the current situation in management accounting in the company. This is easiest and most convenient to do in standard templates: organizational structure, financial structure, definition of the place and role of each employee in the management accounting and reporting system.

Monitoring the organizational structure is needed to understand who does what in the company. In accounting language, conduct a general inventory, but not of furniture, but of departments, personnel and functions.

You need to find out from the director how many businesses he runs: "Try, Mr. Director, to name the exact number of products, services and activities that your company earns money from. How many functions are connected with the activities of your company? Which organizational units are responsible for for the system to work?

If the organizational structure answers the question "Who does what in the company?", then the financial structure answers the question "Who and how much earns and spends in the company?". The financial structure determines the set of FSCs and their correlation with organizational units, determines the type of FSC (the unit brings income to the company or incurs costs). If your company already has a financial structure, do a simple test on the organization of the MA: check if the financial structure complies with the simple principle: "One DFS - at least one management report."

The basics of accounting in the West are taught in high school. With us, those who wish can (optionally) take a two-week accounting course or study at a university for 5 years. But regardless of the time and place of learning the art of accounting, the first thing with which the knowledge of accounting begins is the definition of what accounting is.

Accounting is the primary observation, the current grouping, the valuation and the final generalization.

To take into account anything, you first need to collect information - the primary observation. In accounting, this process is regulated by the requirements for the execution of primary documents. There are no such strict rules in management accounting.

Further, it is necessary to group the collected information either by management accounting accounts, or, if we keep records not only in value terms, by management accounting registers. For example, accounting for the organizational structure (information required for each manager) is carried out according to registers:

activities, products and services;
support functions;
management functions;
organizational (executive) links.

Management accounting registers serve for convenient classification of management information by accounting objects.

The next step is to evaluate the information. Management accounting uses a wider range of financial valuation techniques than accounting. For example, in accordance with International Financial Accounting Standards, resources can be valued at historical (actual) cost; depreciable cost; current value. Since management accounting is conducted not only in terms of value, other, non-financial, methods of evaluation are used for such indicators.

The last step in the accounting process is the final summary. The summarization stage is the process of compiling the report. For management accounting, this stage is, if not the most important, then the most noticeable. In fact, reporting is the tip of the iceberg of the MS system, which "appears" for the manager. Reliable and timely reports are important for a manager. On the one hand, they are the result of the work of the entire MS system, and on the other hand, they reflect the results of managerial decisions made by the head. Each management decision will somehow be reflected in the management balance sheet or management income statement.

So, the accounting process is uniform, no matter what is taken into account - nails in a warehouse or securities in a depository - it is necessary to collect information, group it according to homogeneous characteristics, evaluate it and draw up a report based on it.

How is the accounting process in your company? What do you consider? Who collects information, groups and evaluates it? Who makes the reports?

Consistent answers to these questions, written in the appropriate format, provide a description of the company's management accounting system.

BUSINESS IS MEASURED IN MONEY

It may seem that too much attention is paid to the organization of accounting and not enough to the technologies and methods of accounting, monetary indicators, financial, management reporting of the company, i.e. to the questions "What and who is in the CU system?" we answered in sufficient detail and seemed to have missed the question "How?".

How we keep records depends on what we take into account. Traditionally, companies pay more attention to SR in its usual sense, i.e. accounting for assets, liabilities, capital, income and expenses. This is called "financial accounting" in the West, but without publishing reports for external users.

Both international standards (IFRS) and national standards (GAAP) are a set of principles, rules and methods of accounting in such a way that a company publishes reliable financial statements at the end of the reporting year.

If you are an external investor, then it does not matter to you how accounting is kept, even if the company does not keep records at all. The main thing is that the company at the same time be able to draw up such reporting that would correctly reflect its activities. And in order to check how reliable the financial statements are, there are auditors.

In Russia, with management accounting, the situation is similar. When setting it, it is recommended to choose one of the generally recognized standards (IFRS, US GAAP, Russian accounting) and, on its basis, draw up instructions, regulations and regulations for management accounting.

In our practice, when setting up the TOS, we recommend that our clients use International Financial Reporting Standards as a basis. First, the International Standards carry the most advanced accounting and financial technologies; secondly, Russian accounting is in one way or another in the process of reforming towards compliance with international standards. In any case, it is useful for a company to familiarize itself with IFRS even in order to know what awaits us in the future.

A typical set of provisions for management accounting is as follows:

General provisions and principles of management reporting.
Fixed assets.
Stocks (commodity-material values).
Management statement of cash flows (ODDS).
Management Income Statement/Management Income Statement (ODR).
Management balance (MB).
Operational reports.
Income and revenue.
Expenses and costs, etc.

We can say that each provision is a detailed description of the company's accounting policy for a particular accounting object, which must at least reflect:

goals and objectives of accounting for this OS object;
conditions for recognition in accounting;
moment of recognition;
assessment methods;
used accounts (if accounting in the company is maintained using a management chart of accounts);
description of the document flow for this accounting object;
disclosure of information in reporting, organizational and time regulations for accounting and reporting.

The provisions for each company are purely individual, but there are some general points, for example, for enterprises in the same industry. Large companies, as a rule, use a larger set of tools than small and medium ones. Accordingly, the provisions on management accounting for medium-sized enterprises are more complicated than for large and small ones.

And I would like to draw attention to one more important point. It is the provisions that are the link between process and financial management technologies. It is their combination that provides an integrated solution in management accounting.

For each accounting object, the regulation must reflect not only financial technologies (valuation methods, postings, primary documents, reports), but also the accounting process: who and when will keep records; organizational and time regulations.

"GREEN BUTTON" - DREAM OR REALITY

When you have successfully developed all the provisions and regulations, created the CU system on paper, the question arises: how to implement it in the company, how to make this mechanism work? If the development of an accounting model in a company takes up to three months, then the subsequent adaptation of the company to new components in the management system has a period of at least one year.

If a state decides to set new rules for its citizens, what does it do? Develops and adopts a law, approves it from such and such a date. All innovations in the company are carried out with various variations according to this principle. If a company is setting up a CU system, then it is necessary to develop a regulation, approve it and make it a law for the company. And set up a control system.

The modern science of personnel management provides enough impulses and methods to motivate employees to perform new functions and responsibilities for them, as well as control methods.

For example, in Japanese management there is such an approach: when a qualified employee makes the same mistake three times (if it is not outright sabotage), the matter is most likely in the wrong organization of the process.

If your company's MS system contains conflicting elements, despite all efforts to implement it, the system will not work. If the mechanisms of its functioning and control are not spelled out in the state law, then the most law-abiding citizen cannot and will not comply with it. If the CU system is not aligned with the mechanisms of action and control, then you will not be able to make this system work, despite the most authorized methods of implementation.

To create regulations, familiarize employees, train them, establish as a law for the company and consistently monitor its implementation is a task that requires perseverance from the manager, but not exorbitant efforts and overstrain of all the company's management resources. At practice

The author has seen quite successful companies in which, during the implementation of the accounting project, which can last about a year, the entire operational management team, including the general director, financial director and chief accountant, practically stepped aside from their usual work, "throwing off" it on their deputies to implement the PM system.

Can a commercial company operating in an aggressive market afford it? It's too big a risk. Therefore, even though it may seem somewhat banal, it is better to set up management accounting in a company right away.

The one-time implementation of complex management decisions is almost never successful.

You can't build a complex system in a company if people can't build simple ones. The only way to build integrated solutions that has proven to be effective is to break down a complex problem into many simple ones.

Simple tasks in management can be solved by each employee. Complex tasks are within the power of geniuses. And it would be more rational to distribute many simple tasks among many employees, and to load geniuses with the development of a new product, the development of new markets and other, more interesting and promising tasks.

Labor protection at the enterprise is a set of measures designed to ensure the safety of the health and life of employees participating in

the process of labor activity. As well as all those who can be somehow connected with the production process and its results. This list includes sanitary and hygienic measures, organizational, technical, socio-economic, medical and rehabilitation and others. Labor protection at the enterprise is the responsibility of the head, as well as specially authorized persons responsible for certain aspects of this process: fire safety inspectors, state supervision, the structure of the labor protection service, trade unions and others.

Responsibilities of the labor protection service

The legislative framework

Persons whose competence includes labor protection at the enterprise are obliged to be guided by the legislative framework and regulations of the Russian Federation related to the facility. As well as local legal norms like collective agreements and agreements. The main regulatory source, according to which labor protection should be organized at an enterprise of any nature, is the law of the Russian Federation No. 181-FZ of July 17, 1999.

Features of legislative requirements for different enterprises

An important point in this area is

specific differences in legislation for establishments of a different nature. Thus, labor protection at the enterprise implies special requirements for compliance with state sanitary rules regarding the arrangement and maintenance of premises, their construction features, microclimate, air temperature, production process, cleaning of premises, disinfection and other numerous subtleties. The manager, whose responsibility includes labor protection at the communications enterprise, is obliged to ensure a safe level of noise from machines in the room, vibrations, lighting, necessary openings at the facility (post office, telegraph) both for the work of employees and for customers of the enterprise. Regulations also govern subtleties from the safe removal of correspondence from mailboxes to the morale of post office employees.

A job description is a document that establishes the organizational and legal position of an individual employee in the structure of an organization or in its structural unit.

The employer uses job descriptions to assess the behavior of an employee in the event of disciplinary action, including upon dismissal on the grounds provided for in paragraphs. 5 and 6 h. 1 tbsp. 81 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation.

For the heads of structural divisions and direct supervisors of employees, job descriptions are a management tool that allows them to solve organizational and coordinating tasks.

The employee, for his part, is interested in a clear definition of the nature of the work, the qualification requirements for the position he holds, the scope of his duties, his own powers, rights and responsibilities, and the establishment of relationships.

Thus, the job description is an organizational document and is created in order to:

fixing the types of work, specialization of the employee;
establishing qualification requirements for a particular position;
elimination of parallelism and duplication in the performance of individual operations;
establishing relationships between individual positions;
delimitation of duties and rights of employees;
establishing their measure of responsibility;
evaluation of the performance of each individual employee.

Regulatory framework for creating

When developing job descriptions, it is necessary to be guided by the Labor Code of the Russian Federation and other regulatory legal acts.

So, in article 21 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation, the rights and obligations of an employee are listed, in Art. 22 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation - the rights and obligations of the employer arising and implemented in the process of labor relations.

The “Must Know” section contains a list of special knowledge necessary for the employee to perform his functions (legislative acts, regulations, instructions, regulatory and methodological documents), which he must take into account and be able to use in the performance of his duties. The Qualification Requirements section lists the requirements for the level and profile of general and special training, as well as for length of service.

Expert help

Unified Regulatory Approach

When establishing the labor functions of managers, specialists and employees, employers are guided by the industry-wide Unified Qualification Directory for the positions of managers, specialists and employees (CEN) and its industry issues. Depending on the content, they are of three types:

Qualification directory of positions of managers, specialists and other employees (industry-wide issue);
Qualification directory of positions of employees of a general industrial nature (single for all industries);

Sectoral editions of the Qualification Directory of Employees' Positions (including the characteristics of positions specific to a particular sector of the economy).

Development rules

The job description is developed for each position included in the staffing table of the organization, and is impersonal. As a rule, this document is developed, approved and put into effect in relation to a vacant position, before a suitable employee is found and an employment contract is concluded with him.

Who should develop job descriptions?

It is most rational to entrust the development of job descriptions to the heads of structural divisions, which determine the subordination, subordination, the ratio of functional responsibilities of employees of their divisions and other issues. The instruction is coordinated with employees of the personnel and legal service.

The draft job description can be agreed with interested parties, if this is provided for by the employer in the rules for the development of local regulations. It should be noted that the approval of the draft job description is not mandatory. To give the document legal force, it is not required, but to improve the content and bring it into line with the current legislation, this procedure is desirable.

The job description, after agreement with all interested officials and signed by its compiler, is approved by the head of the organization or another person endowed with the appropriate authority.

Design Requirements

The job description, as a local normative act, refers to organizational and administrative documents, that is, it is part of the Unified System of Organizational and Administrative Documents. All requirements for the Job Description are enshrined in GOST R 6.30-2003 “Unified Documentation Systems. Unified system of organizational and administrative documentation.

The text of the job description is set out in separate paragraphs, which are numbered in Arabic numerals within each section.

The structure of the text of the job description, as a rule, corresponds to the tariff and qualification requirements provided for by the CAS, and consists of the following sections:

The first section " a common part» contains provisions of a general nature:

the main labor function (task) of this position;
qualification requirements for the person occupying it;
fundamental organizational and legal documents that the employee must know and be guided by in the performance of official duties.

This section indicates: the name of the position in accordance with the staffing table, its category (specialist, technical executor), subordination of the employee, the main purpose of this position, the subject of the employee or the area of work that is assigned to this position.

The training requirements clause usually sets out the employer's requirements for the level of education and work experience required for the position.

When preparing a paragraph on the minimum required knowledge, the sections “Must know” and “Must be able” from the CAS are most often used. The Directory contains a list of regulatory documents required by an employee for professional activities. The same paragraph lists the local acts of the employer, organizational and administrative documents (orders and orders of the head, head of the structural unit, etc.), which guide the employee. This paragraph can be expanded to include, for example, safety regulations, operating instructions for technical equipment and office equipment, norms of office etiquette.

The first section can also be supplemented with the basic requirements for the professional skills of the employee necessary in the performance of job duties.

The second section is " Functions"- is central to the job description and includes the types of work assigned to this position.

The list of functions in a specific job description depends both on the general task assigned to the position and on the division of labor between employees of the structural unit. When preparing this section, it is extremely important to observe the principle of completeness and not to miss a single operation performed by the employee. Otherwise, this can later lead to serious conflict situations.

This section provides not only the obligation of the employee to perform a labor function, but also the right of the employer to require the employee to fulfill it, contains a list of duties.

request information necessary for the performance of official duties;
represent the interests of the organization in relations with third parties, in court;
control the actions of certain officials;

Worker familiarization visas can be located on the last page of the document, below the signature of the compiler and approval visas. In some cases, a special journal can also be used, in which employees sign that they are familiar with all the local acts of the employer.

Storage of job descriptions

Job descriptions are local regulations of a long duration.

The most convenient option is the centralized storage of job descriptions in the personnel department, which acquaints newly hired employees with them. Meanwhile, in some organizations, these documents are stored in structural units or in the office.

In any case, job descriptions are formed in a separate file (Basic rules for the work of archives of organizations were approved by the decision of the Collegium of the Federal Archives on 06.02.02). This file has a permanent storage period (Article 35a of the List of standard management documents generated in the activities of organizations, indicating the storage periods, approved by the Federal Archives on 06.10.00). The file is submitted to the archive after the replacement of the current job descriptions with new ones.

Help: Procedure for developing job descriptions

The job description is one of the documents of the local regulatory framework of the organization (note 1) (Article 194 of the Labor Code of the Republic of Belarus, hereinafter referred to as the Labor Code). Paragraph 2 of Article 54 of the Labor Code establishes the obligation of the employer, when hiring, to familiarize the employee against signature with the assigned work (job description). instruction is an organizational and legal document that establishes the main functions, duties, rights and responsibilities of an employee of an organization in the exercise of his activities in a certain position.

Rules and procedure for compiling a job description

Officials that regulate the labor functions of regular positions in an organization are an important regulatory act of local significance. This document is necessary for both the employer and the employee, since it establishes qualification requirements, lists the duties and rights of the person holding this position.

- a document that is an argument in labor conflicts and disputes, therefore its content and design must comply with the requirements that apply to legally significant documents.

Rules for the preparation and execution of job descriptions

The legal status of an employee in the organization is regulated by the job description. This document establishes the functions, rights, duties and responsibilities of an employee of the organization.

- Some companies simply do not have job descriptions, some have downloaded them from the Internet. What does the law say - is it necessary at all?

Development of job descriptions

If the requirement for a job description is specified in a legislative act, then it must be developed without fail. In all other cases, job descriptions are developed on a voluntary basis.

The job description simplifies the relationship between the employee and the employer, because it accurately indicates the scope of responsibility and duties of the employee, which significantly reduces labor disputes.

The job description specifies the qualification requirements, tasks, functions, rights and responsibilities of the employee.

Job descriptions can be developed as a separate document or as an annex to an employment contract.

How to write instructions

The legislation does not establish special requirements for the development of job descriptions. therefore, it is necessary to adhere to the general rules for the development and approval of local regulatory documents. In addition, the employer can approve its own procedure for developing job descriptions. However, the provisions of this document should not contradict the requirements of the law.

When developing instructions, it is necessary to take into account the structure of the organization and its divisions, the specifics of the working conditions of the employees for whom the instructions are being developed, the provisions of the organization's local acts.

Also, when developing job descriptions, the provisions of qualification handbooks and professional standards should be applied.

After agreement with everyone, the instruction is approved by the head of the organization, certified by a seal (if any). The original instructions may be kept by its developer, by the personnel department, by the secretary, or elsewhere. Copies of instructions are issued to employees against signature.

The job description is valid until it is replaced with a new one.

The structure and content of job descriptions is determined by the employer independently.

Making changes to the instructions

As a result of personnel changes, as well as the adoption of new federal and local regulations, it may be necessary to amend the instruction.

When making changes, consider the following points:

What form is the instruction in?
Do the changes lead to a change in the employee's labor functions;
Does the employee agree with the change in the provisions of the instruction (this item is especially relevant if, as a result of the changes, the employee has new job responsibilities).

If the instruction is developed and approved in the form of a separate document and the changes made do not entail a change in the labor function, but only specify some of the employee's duties, then the employer can develop and approve a new instruction without asking the employee's consent.

A copy of the new instruction is issued to the employee against signature. It is recommended that the old job description be removed and disposed of.

If the changes made entail a change in labor duties or the emergence of new job duties, then obtaining the consent of the employee is necessary. Changes in this case are made in accordance with Art. 72 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation by agreement of the parties.

If the instruction was developed in the form of an annex to the employment contract, then the introduction of changes may be associated with a change in the mandatory terms of the contract. The employee must be notified in writing of the changes made at least 2 months in advance.

With the consent of the employee, changes are made in the manner prescribed by Art. 72 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation. Otherwise, the employee may be subject to dismissal in accordance with Art. 74 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation under paragraph 7 of part 1 of Art. 77 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation - for refusing to continue work in connection with a change in the terms of the employment contract determined by the parties. However, the employer must have grounds for changes (changes in organizational or technological working conditions). Before dismissal, the employer is obliged to offer the employee a transfer to another vacant position.

When making changes to the job description, the employer issues an order. In this case, the employer can approve either a new instruction or changes made to the old one.

If the instruction was an annex to the employment contract, then changes are made to both instructions of the document by concluding an additional agreement with the employee.

The meaning of job descriptions

Consider the reasons for the need to develop job descriptions.

Justified denial of employment

Labor legislation prohibits unreasonable refusal to conclude an employment contract.

You can justify the refusal, for example, if the business qualities and state of health of the employee do not meet the requirements for a vacant position.

Business qualities, in this case, will be understood as the ability of an employee to fulfill a labor fiction, taking into account his professional and qualification qualities (for example, the presence of a certain profession, specialty, qualification), personal qualities (for example, the level of education, work experience in this specialty, in this industry).

Thus, it is the presence of the requirements specified in the instructions that will help the employer avoid litigation.

Bringing an employee to disciplinary responsibility

In accordance with Art. 192 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation, a disciplinary offense is a failure to perform or improper performance by an employee of the labor duties assigned to him.

If labor duties are not approved by the employer in the form of a job description, then it will be difficult to hold the employee accountable.

An employee can easily challenge such actions of the employer by going to court. Moreover, when an employee applies to the labor inspectorate, the employer may be held administratively liable for violating the requirements of labor legislation.

Dismissal of an employee who does not pass the test

The employment contract may provide for a trial period in order to verify the compliance of the employee with the assigned work (Article 70 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation).

If the test result is unsatisfactory, the employer has the right to terminate the employment contract with the employee before the expiration of the probationary period, notifying him in writing no later than 3 days, indicating the reasons that served as the basis for recognizing this employee as not having passed the test (Article 71 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation) .

The reason, in this case, may be non-performance or improper performance by the employee of the labor duties specified in the job description or employment contract.

Job instructions. Basic principles of their work

1. What are job descriptions? What value do they have?

The success and failure of modern organizations to a large extent depend on the human resource involved in the work. The productivity of the staff affects the overall profit of the company. However, to constantly monitor the performance of employees of their duties is a difficult task. Special documents can simplify it, including: rules governing the internal regulations, regulations on the structural departments of the organization, staffing, and also - job descriptions.

Such instructions make it possible to delimit the field of activity of each employee and assign certain labor duties to him. The presence of a document outlining the main tasks and powers of the organization's personnel is mandatory, in accordance with the current legislation of the Russian Federation.

According to the definition of the Modern Economic Dictionary, the job description indicates the range of assignments and duties, as well as the work that needs to be performed by a given employee holding a specific position in an enterprise.

From this definition it follows that the main attention is paid to determining the range of labor obligations imposed on a particular employee. It is important that we are talking more about the description of the functions of this position, and not about the description of the labor obligations of a particular employee.
Main functions: structuring production, as well as regulating the activities of employees.

2. Purposes (what are the purposes of approving such instructions)

Any management system needs clear instructions and rules that every employee must follow. The purpose of compiling a job description is to show the subordinate the range of required tasks and motivate him to perform certain job duties.

They serve several purposes. First of all, they encourage a certain employee to act, indicate the criteria for evaluating his work, give the necessary directions to improve the employee's skill level. In addition, the participation of an employee in the discussion of his job description allows him to influence the conditions and organization of his work.

Also, the job description provides an opportunity to analyze and evaluate the results of the employee's work, contains additional information about the level of preparation of candidates for a vacant position. It can also be used as a source of reliable information to improve the structure of the organization, to increase labor productivity.

3. Who draws up job descriptions? What should be included in them?

They are developed by each leader for his subordinates, and signed by the managers of structural departments. Sometimes the instructions are compiled by a specialist whose job is to develop such documents. All official documents are personally approved by the first head of the organization. Meanwhile, the head of the personnel department is responsible for filling the organization with the necessary documents.

Important qualities of an understandable normative document are clarity and brevity. Because an ambiguous document cannot be obeyed. Obviously, they should not be too long - they are difficult to read, and there is a great risk of misunderstanding the content of what is written.

In the process of writing job descriptions, the functions and tasks of the subordinate are formulated. At the same time, it is necessary to adhere to the correspondence of job descriptions and the actual duties of the employee. The provisions of such documents should define the specific areas of responsibility of the subordinate, and not be just formal obligations. All provisions are equally equal in terms of importance.

General definitions, ambiguity, obscurity and superficial judgments should be avoided when drafting job descriptions. It is necessary to clearly identify all the main tasks, describe in detail the methods of performing work, mention all the important procedures and instructions that the employee must adhere to. It is better to use simple rather than complex sentences.

Starting his duties in the company, the environmentalist needs to get acquainted with the enterprise itself, all responsible services and premises where the production process takes place. It is also necessary to assess how the ventilation system is arranged, where the waste storage facility is located, what emission sources are located at the enterprise, how water is supplied and wastewater is discharged.

The next step is to familiarize yourself with all the reporting documentation at the enterprise - whether internal journals and reports are filled out in a timely manner, how the payment for NVOS is calculated, and whether there are up-to-date instructions on eliminating shortcomings.

Is environmental reporting mandatory in Russia in 2018?

However, the tightening of environmental legislation in the past few years has led to the fact that even in a small enterprise engaged in production, it is necessary to introduce a special position or a whole department related to environmental protection. In general, the position of an environmentalist is in high demand at various enterprises - ranging from large industries, where entire environmental safety departments are usually organized, to small organizations that, by law, need to maintain a significant amount of environmental documentation.

The main tasks of an ecologist are: identification, study and minimization of various factors (including human ones) that have a harmful effect on the environment. By law, no construction or production process should begin without an environmental review and a positive opinion.

Why does an enterprise need an ecologist and what are his responsibilities?

Environmental payments and reporting: help from professionals The company "EcoExpert" provides professional services for the preparation, approval and submission of all forms of environmental reporting. We will help to draw up, successfully coordinate and submit the necessary documents for any type of business on time:

environmental reporting of the enterprise;
small business environmental reporting.

Timely and correct delivery of all documents is a manifestation of concern for the environment and reliable protection from penalties.

Attention

The head of the enterprise needs to know that the EcoVilleTrade package of services includes a certain type of service called “environmentalist at the enterprise” (i.e. environmental outsourcing). By signing a service contract, the management of the organization transfers control over environmental activities at its enterprise to a specialized organization staffed by environmental specialists.

Most often, organizations outsource certain laboratory studies, the determination of standards for negative environmental impact, the approval of documents and projects in supervisory authorities, and sometimes the calculation of payments for NVOS. Indeed, it makes no sense, for example, to purchase a software package for calculating maximum allowable emissions into the atmosphere for project development once every five years.

In the modern world, in almost every country there are legal safety standards in the field of ecology and a certain procedure for their observance. In the Russian Federation, there is a special provision for enterprises in the Law “On Environmental Protection”, according to which an environmental specialist must be present at the enterprise.

In accordance with the provisions of N 7-FZ "On Environmental Protection" dated January 10. 2002, in every organization whose activities are in any way related to the impact on the environment, it is necessary to appoint an individual responsible for the protection of the environment. In principle, this can be a person holding a position, for example, a chief engineer, an occupational safety engineer or a technologist, in addition, someone from the company's management can partially take over this functionality.
