A mandatory procedure that comprehensively covers the entire staff of a legal entity, but is implemented in relation to each employee individually. The dismissal process is regulated mainly labor law and internal acts of the organization that determine the procedure for interaction between the employer and employees.
Despite the fact that dismissal during the liquidation of an organization is, in fact, a formality, you need to be extremely careful about the procedure, clearly follow the entire procedure and fulfill the mandatory requirements. This will guarantee the absence of conflict situations and negative aspects associated with the possible application of penalties due to non-compliance or incomplete compliance with labor law. Supervisory state bodies are extremely demanding on inspections in connection with violations of the procedure for dismissing employees, regardless of the grounds.
The liquidation of large and city-forming organizations is fraught with a sharp increase in the number of unemployed citizens. The termination of the activities of such legal entities will be held under strict control. But even small enterprises in the event of conflicts with employees will certainly attract the attention of regulatory authorities. And today people know how to complain if there is the slightest reason, despite the fact that dismissal is a serious reason for this.
The liquidation of an organization is a direct basis for the dismissal of employees at the initiative of the employer (clause 1, part 1, article 81 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation). The norm applies unconditionally - restrictions on dismissal certain categories employees (pregnant women on maternity leave) and related circumstances (vacation, sick leave, other vacancies) do not apply. It is not required to obtain the consent of the employee, as well as special coordination of the issue with the trade union organization.
The procedure for dismissal in connection with the termination of the employer's activities includes the following steps:
In general, you need:
Payments to employees upon liquidation of an enterprise is a special topic for consideration. It provides for a special procedure for accrual and settlements, as well as several types of payments - basic and additional.
Basic calculations- all that is due to the employee, regardless of the dismissal and its grounds. This includes wages and other payments related to the performance of labor duties and compensation provided for by law (bonuses, sick leave, maternity leave, business trips, etc.). Payable and compensation for unused vacation, calculated according to the number of days.
Additional calculations- compensation payments due to the employee precisely in connection with his dismissal on the basis of the liquidation of the employer organization. They are accrued and paid in excess of the principal amounts. These include:
Payments are made by the employer and at his expense. To save wages, it is necessary that the employee submits to the organization an application for payments due to him and documents indicating the absence of work (employment). Upon liquidation of legal entities, payments in connection with dismissal are usually made immediately in full (2 salaries) in order to avoid problems in the future. It can be problematic to get a third salary - the organization may already be liquidated by this moment. The employment center must take into account the circumstances when making a decision.
The liquidation of an organization may turn out to be a fairly short-term process, and not all obligations to employees will be repaid. Often there are problems with obtaining sick leave, payments and compensations related to pregnancy and childbirth, as well as other social benefits.
Among options when the legal entity has already been excluded from the Unified State Register of Legal Entities and has actually ceased to exist:
IN judicial order, of course, you can try to cancel the liquidation, but if the organization no longer exists, there are no assets, documentation, and other things, it is ineffective to make any claims against it. The only thing that can be done is to try to hold the owners and management accountable.
Dismissal in connection with the liquidation of the enterprise is stress for employees due to loss of earnings. The legislator provided for them some guarantees and compensations. Meanwhile, unreliable employers, taking advantage of the legal illiteracy of employees, cover up other types of reforming the company's activities with liquidation and force them to quit their jobs. own will. We will talk about all aspects of the dismissal associated with the liquidation of the enterprise in this article.
The liquidation of an organization is a complex and rather lengthy procedure, ultimate goal which should be an appeal to tax service with the necessary package of documents and the exclusion of the enterprise from the unified state register of existing legal entities or individual entrepreneurs.
The liquidation of the company is carried out voluntarily by the decision of the founders of the legal entity (IE) or forcibly by a court decision.
In case of voluntary liquidation of an enterprise, a brief scheme of events looks like this:
It becomes clear that after the completion of all stages of liquidation, the enterprise ceases to exist and it has no successors. However, quite often employers disguise other forms of reorganization of activities as liquidation in order to profitably get rid of objectionable employees.
You can often hear from working citizens: “Our store (office, base) is being liquidated because the owner sold it (changed its name, address, director). And we were asked to write a letter of resignation of our own free will.
Note! Dismissal of one's own free will is possible only at the request of the employee, and not because of some external circumstances and someone's requests. And in this case the employer simply does not want to pay upon dismissal of his employees.
The liquidation of an enterprise should be distinguished from such changes in the operation of the organization, such as:
If the owner of the organization changes, for ordinary workers, in most cases, this does not entail any changes. The cashier or the seller, in general, does not care who is listed as the founder of their LLC. If the new owner decides to change the organization's management and staff, he can carry out a staff reduction procedure, paying the employees all the due amounts, or dismiss the employees by agreement of the parties, also agreeing on the amount of compensation. Changing the name, address or location of the enterprise will not affect the work of the team at all, except for a possible change in the route to work.
In the event of a reorganization, when an organization merges or merges into another, it is obvious that some of the staff becomes redundant, since there is no need for 2 directors, 2 personnel officers, etc. However, this does not mean that the extra people should quit themselves. In this case, the dismissal is also carried out as part of the downsizing procedure or by agreement of the parties with the payment of a severance pay.
Dismissal upon liquidation of an enterprise is subject to the algorithm of actions that are prescribed in the Labor Code of the Russian Federation and the law of the Russian Federation "On Employment in the Russian Federation" dated April 19, 2001 No. 1032-1. In accordance with these laws dismissal due to company liquidation takes place in 5 stages:
The Labor Code of the Russian Federation provides for employees the opportunity to terminate an employment contract earlier than 2 months before mass layoffs employees. Consent to early dismissal on the part of the employee must be in writing, and the enterprise is obliged to compensate him average earnings for the remaining days before the planned dismissal.
Dismissal in connection with the liquidation of the enterprise dedicated to paragraph 1 of Art. 81 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation. It is this norm that should be recorded in the work book as a basis for terminating the employment contract. However, at the request of employees, another reason may be indicated as the basis for terminating the employment contract:
In these cases, the enterprise saves on payments to the employee provided for upon dismissal in connection with the liquidation.
The amount of the allowance, designed to compensate for the loss of work, is established in Art. 178 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation. When leaving due to the termination of the organization, the employee must receive:
In exceptional cases, by decision of the employment service, a citizen can receive another 1 average salary if he is not employed within 3 months (provided that the employee is registered with the labor exchange within 2 weeks after the dismissal).
As a rule, 2 average salaries are paid to employees at the enterprise immediately upon dismissal, but in order to receive the 3rd payment, you need to contact the employment service.
In addition to the dismissal benefit in connection with the liquidation, each employee must receive the usual payments upon termination of the employment contract:
After the company ceases operations, the most questions arise for those who are preparing to go on maternity leave, are on parental leave, or fall ill after being fired. Meanwhile, the state provides certain provision for these most vulnerable categories of citizens.
In pp. 3 and 4 art. 13 of the Federal Law "On Compulsory Social Insurance ..." dated December 29, 2006 No. 255-FZ, it is reported that if former employee of the liquidated enterprise fell ill within a month after the dismissal, the sick leave payment is made by the Social Insurance Fund, where you need to apply with documents within 6 months (but it’s better not to delay!). The same rules apply to expectant mothers who go on sick leave for pregnancy and childbirth.
As for employees dismissed during a decree or parental leave, after dismissal, they need to contact the social security authority at their place of residence. In social security, you need to submit a certificate of salary for the past 12 months. On the basis of these documents, a monthly allowance of 40% of average earnings will be calculated and paid, and not the minimum, as for the unemployed.
Important! Child care allowance will be paid only to those who are not registered with the employment service and, accordingly, do not receive unemployment benefits.
It should be borne in mind that receiving benefits for disability, pregnancy and childbirth and child care through state organizations does not exclude and does not affect the receipt by employees of dismissal payments in connection with the liquidation of the enterprise.

Upon liquidation of an organization, all employees are subject to dismissal, while employees can count on the payment of labor benefits, regardless of whether forced or voluntary liquidation. In the article, we will talk in detail about the procedure for dismissal during liquidation, describe the mechanism for notifying employees, and also consider the features labor payments.
The dismissal of employees of a liquidated enterprise is one of the main conditions necessary for the termination of its activities. This process, without fail, which provides for the transfer of labor payments, must be completed before an entry is made in the Unified State Register on the liquidation of the organization, that is, before the organization ceases to exist.
At the same time, absolutely all employees are fired without exception, including pregnant women, maternity workers and mothers of minor children. The law also allows the dismissal of employees who are on vacation or on sick leave.
The dismissal procedure, which is supervised by a specially created liquidation commission, consists of several stages. Here are the main ones:
Each stage of the procedure for dismissal of an employee in connection with the liquidation of the organization is strictly regulated and is under control government agencies and a special commission.
The liquidation process is the same for both an individual entrepreneur and an organization, including its branches and representative offices.
The first stage of the dismissal procedure is the provision of information about the liquidation and the planned dismissal of employees to the social employment service. Informing the service is carried out by providing a written request:
Such a notice shall contain information about the registration data of the company (name, address, TIN, PSRN, etc.), what is the basis for the liquidation of the legal entity, data on the dismissed persons (name, position, salary, etc.).
In addition to the employment center, the organization notifies its employees (of the date of dismissal), the tax office (of the launch of the procedure), creditors (of the possibility of making property claims).
Notifying employees is the most painstaking stage of the dismissal procedure. This is due to the fact that in the event of liquidation, employees belonging to socially protected strata (disabled, etc.) and legally protected under other conditions (pregnant women, maternity workers) are subject to dismissal.
The term for notifying employees is similar to the terms for informing the social service, namely no later than 2 months before the dismissal of the first employee. However, there are, depending on the specifics of labor relations, other special terms:
mass dismissal, that is, from 15 or more people | for 3 months |
seasonal (shift) workers | in 7 days |
working on a fixed-term contract up to 2 months | in 3 days |
category of employee / situation in the organization | notice period |
The form of informing must be in writing, which will allow in the future to avoid possible claims from both the employee and the enterprise.
Dismissal of one's own free will during the liquidation of the company should not be at the request, insistence of the management, personnel department or outside pressure, but solely at the request of the employee. As a rule, such requests from management are received in order to reduce costs (payments upon dismissal in connection with liquidation), which is extremely unprofitable for the employee.
Dismissal in connection with the liquidation of the enterprise, paragraph 1 of Art. 81 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation This is exactly how the wording should be work book. When an employer wants to save on payments, he offers the employee the following reasons for dismissal, which the employee can accept only at his own free will:
The process of informing employees can be carried out both through the trade union organization (if there is one at the enterprise), or directly. It should be noted that if the employer has previously informed the trade union, this gives the employee an additional guarantee of control over the observance of his rights upon dismissal. It means that in this case the trade union will give the employee all the necessary explanations and consultations regarding the dismissal procedure, as well as take care of the terms of dismissal, completeness and timeliness of payments.
Modern practice shows that in the event of liquidation, notification of employees is carried out in a targeted manner, that is, a written notice is given to each employee personally. Having received the document, the employee puts his signature on it, confirming his familiarization with the test. At the same time, the employee is not required to express his consent or objection. The notification is drawn up in 2 copies, one of which is transferred to the employee, and the employer retains the second with the employee's signature.
If handing the notice in hand is problematic, the organization sends it to the employee by mail (usually at the place of registration or actual residence) by registered mail with a notification and description. And this procedure is sufficient to consider the employee aware of the upcoming termination of the employment contract.
Confirmation of the fact of informing all employees is copies of notifications certified by the signature of employees, or postal stubs (if the notification was sent by letter).
The form in which the notice must be drawn up is not regulated by law. Each enterprise independently develops a notification form and in the general mass they are of the same type. Here is an example of a typical notification:
NOTIFICATION
About the upcoming dismissal in connection with the liquidation of the enterprise
Head of Sales Department
Fedorenko S.P.
Dear Sergey Petrovich!
We bring to your knowledge that on the basis of the decision of the members of the board of JSC "Monolith" dated April 2, 2019 No. 12, the organization will be liquidated. In this regard, the employment contract concluded with you on December 26, 2015 No. 25 is subject to termination.
After 2 months from the date of receipt of this notice, on June 19, 2019, you will be dismissed in accordance with clause 1, part 1, art. 81 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation.
General Director (signature) ___________________ Sviridov L.D.
Acquainted with the notification (signature) ________________ Fedorenko S.P. 04/18/2019
After that, the employee continues to perform his labor functions in the usual mode for 2 months (3 months - with numerous layoffs) and receives for this wages in the amount established by the employment contract.
However, the employee, unlike the management of the enterprise, may voluntarily terminate the employment relationship ahead of schedule, without waiting for the expiration of the established period. For this, an application for dismissal is submitted according to the standard procedure.
The final stage of the dismissal process is the issuance of an order, making an appropriate entry in the work book, handing it over to the employee and making a cash settlement with the dismissed person. Additional statements from the employee are not required.
As a rule, an order upon liquidation of an organization is issued strictly after a 2-month period after notifying employees, in rare cases - later. Before this period, an employee cannot be dismissed, this fact is a violation of labor laws.
The order is drawn up according to a single unified form T-8. Consider an example of such an order:
ORDER
on termination of the employment contract with the employee
Terminate the employment contract dated August 15, 2003 No. 12.
To dismiss on June 18, 2019 Sviridenko T.P., senior manager of the sales department, personnel number 814, in connection with the liquidation of the organization in accordance with clause 1, part 1, art. 81 Labor Code RF.
Grounds for dismissal - decision general meeting participants dated 04/02/2019 No. 13, employee notification of the termination of the employment contract dated 04/18/2019 No. 310.
General Director (signature) _____________________ Soldatov K.P.
Acquainted with the order (signature) _____________________ Sviridenko T.P. 06/18/2019
When the former employee reads the order and signs that he has read it, the personnel officer makes an entry in the work book:
Dismissed in connection with the termination of the employment contract due to the liquidation of the enterprise, clause 1, part 1, art. 81 of the Labor Code Russian Federation.
Upon filling out the work book and certifying the entered information with the signature of the head and the seal of the organization, the document is handed over to the dismissed employee. If the employee refuses to get acquainted with the order and receive a work book, then these actions are activated, that is, in the presence of 2 persons, the personnel officer or manager offers to sign the order and receive the book. Refusal is made out by the act and signed by the head and 2 witnesses. The order will be valid, and the book will be sent to the employee by mail.
An employee, upon dismissal due to the closure of an individual entrepreneur or enterprise, can count on:
As for the amount of benefits, they are calculated in each case individually. Funds for the hours actually worked and sick pay are determined depending on the salary and labor guard. Travel and business expenses are compensated to the employee in full on the basis of the submitted supporting documents and the advance report.
The amount of severance pay is determined depending on the category of employees to which the employee belongs:
ordinary staff member |
2 average monthly salaries (1 earnings on the day of dismissal, another within a 2-month period) 3 average monthly salaries, registered with the employment center within 2 weeks and did not find a job within 3 months (1 salary on the day of dismissal, others within a 3-month period). |
retired employee who continues to work | 2 average monthly salaries |
part-time employee | 1 average monthly salary |
seasonal worker | for 2 weeks based on the average monthly salary, that is, 14 average daily payments |
officer for fixed-term contract concluded up to 2 months | not supposed to |
employee category | benefit amount |
The period in which the employee can expect to receive payment is the same in all cases - all calculations are carried out strictly on the day of dismissal, with the exception of salaries that are paid within 2 or 3 months after dismissal during the employment period.
The head of the organization is considered dismissed on the day the decision to liquidate the organization is made, that is, on the day the decision of the board is signed (his place is taken by the chairman of the liquidation commission). It should be noted that the general director may act as the head of a specially created liquidation commission. In such a case, his duties as a director shall terminate on the day the resolution on liquidation is taken. On the same day, he receives the powers of the head of the liquidation commission.
As for the social categories of employees, namely pregnant women, those on maternity leave, pensioners, as well as mothers of minor children, it is worth emphasizing that the legislation does not provide for them to keep their jobs. The dismissal of such employees is carried out in a general manner.
The employer is not obliged to dismiss all employees on 1 day, he can break this procedure at his discretion into stages. But last of all, the administrative staff (personnel officer, accountant) and the chairman of the liquidation commission are dismissed.
If you are fired due to the liquidation of the organization - do not despair. The law guarantees you social protection, providing the opportunity to register with the employment service. While looking for a job, you are entitled to receive additional social benefits.
Employment services provide not only employment opportunities, but also offer various courses and trainings that allow you to get a new specialty or improve your skills.
In a situation where the liquidation has been canceled, the employee, at will, can choose two ways:
In any case, all benefits paid remain with the employee.

The liquidation of an enterprise is a painful procedure, the result of which is the completion of the life cycle of the organization, as a result, the rights and obligations are curtailed. According to Art. 61 of the Civil Code, paragraph 1 - the succession of the company's powers by someone else is impossible. After the termination of the operation of the enterprise, creditors will not be able to count on the fulfillment of obligations. Any financial manipulations, this also applies to the presence of employees of the institution, must be completed during the liquidation itself.
During liquidation, literally all employees are fired. These include:
The procedure for the annulment of employment contracts is carried out by the department of the liquidation commission, created specifically for this purpose. The process is divided into stages:
Each stage of the liquidation procedure and the related dismissal processes are strictly regulated by law and controlled by the relevant state authorities.
On the day of dismissal, funds are issued for the period of time worked and compensation for unrealized vacation. Leaving work affects all employees, but all members of the team can rely on payment work benefits in proportion to the average monthly income.
Seasonal workers in liquidation receive a two-week salary. Also, the average salary is reserved for the employee at the time of entering a new job, but this period should not exceed a two-month period, for more details, see Article 81 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation. If a person who applied to the employment service is not employed for 2 months, then he can be assigned payments for the third calendar month, provided that he turned to the employees of the employment exchange in the first two weeks after completing cooperation with the liquidated organization.
Employees of the Northern regions, or in areas with the appropriate status, can receive an average monthly salary for the 4th, 5th, 6th month after the liquidation of the enterprise, if they declare themselves on the stock exchange no later than a month after leaving.
Two months before the dismissal, the employee is given a sample notice of the impending closure of the enterprise against receipt. After the expiration of the period, the employer has every reason to issue an appropriate order. A sample order is received in the format No. T-8, certified by the State Statistics Committee of the Russian Federation dated 05.0I.2004 No. 1, or it is drawn up on a form accepted at the enterprise. In the order, the employee is brought to the attention of the available grounds for dismissal. Notification details are also indicated. The order is signed by the head of the liquidation commission.
IN current legislation there is no special procedure for the dismissal of the director managing the company during liquidation. Therefore, the boundary of the completion of his powers is not clear, and the decision is made by the founders or the liquidation commission. The closure of an LLC is accompanied by a meeting of the founders, where decisions are made on topical issues, options:
If the CEO sole founder, the procedure is simplified:
An entry about the dismissal is entered in the work book on the day noted in the notice. If the entry is made earlier or later, the employee has the right to challenge the decision in court. On the day specified in the notification, based on the sample, a break order is issued labor agreement. An entry is made in the employee's work book about the dismissal, which indicates the reasons for terminating the contract. At the cash desk of the enterprise, the employee receives the final settlement (part IV of article 84.1 of the Labor Code).
Maintenance and storage of work books, production of work book forms and provision of employers with them, approved by Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation of April 16, 2003 N 225 “On work books” (hereinafter referred to as the Rules), it was established that the reasons for the termination of the employment contract, entries in the work book are made in in strict accordance with the wording of the article specified in the Labor Code of the Russian Federation or otherwise federal law.
Upon liquidation of a branch, representative office or other separate structural unit located in another locality, which is not an independent legal entity, an entry in the work book is made with the wording "Dismissed due to the liquidation of the organization, clause 1 of part 1 of article 81 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation." This record is certified by the signatures of the employee and the person responsible for maintaining work books, as well as the seal of the liquidated organization. At the same time, it should be noted that the specified procedure is applied if, in accordance with the charter of the organization, the named structural units have the right to conclude or terminate employment contracts, issue orders on personnel.
Labor contract with the employee is terminated if the individual entrepreneur has ceased his activities for the following reasons:
An entry in the work book will be made in accordance with the rules established by clause 35 of the Rules and clause 5.3 of the Instructions, with the wording “Fired due to termination of activities individual entrepreneur, paragraph 1 of part 1 of article 81 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation. Then the record must be certified by the signatures of the employee and the person responsible for maintaining work books, and if the individual entrepreneur does not have such a person, by the individual entrepreneur personally, as well as by the seal of the individual entrepreneur.
