On the issue of the employer’s financial liability for delayed payment of wages

The article is discussed some issues of the employer’s financial liability as a party to the employment contract. It is noted that there is a need to develop and adopt a Resolution of the Plenum of the Supreme Court of Russian Federation to ensure a legal interpretation of issues of the employer’s financial liability. It is concluded that the current labour legislation has created an effective mechanism for protecting the labour rights of workers in case of delay in payment of wages by establishing a special type of legal liability – the financial liability of the employer. At the same time, the mechanism under consideration needs to be improved precisely within the framework of ensuring law enforcement practice.
