Problems of Providing Evidence of Unjustified Denial of Employment in Court by a Person Seeking a Job

Abstract

Crisis strengthening in the national economy will inevitably entail increased unemployment, reduced number of working places, as well as reduction of costs spent for personnel by an employer. All this creates a negative employment environment, as well as facilitates the growth of discriminatory grounds in decisions made by an employer concerning the question of concluding an employment contract, especially with regard to the first-time job seekers and to those who do not possess long working experience. In such circumstances, the state should strengthen its control over an employer in order to prevent unjustified refusal to conclude an employment contract. A big step in order to limit the possibility of abuse on the part of an employer was made when a rule establishing a seven-day deadline to provide a written refusal to conclude an employment contract was enshrined in the RF Labor Code. This will give a person seeking a job an opportunity to collect evidence necessary to defend her violated interests in court .
