Attorney Kristina Timishenko, member of AGP Employment Law team, conducted a webinar on “How to Hire under Civil-Law Agreement While Avoiding the Risk of Its Being Recognized as Employment Agreement”, supported by the Kadrovoye Delo magazine.
In her video report, Kristina told about the differences between civil-law and employment agreements; inherent terms of a civil-law agreement and how they differ from those of an employment agreement; risks and implications of re-classifying a civil law agreement into an employment one; case-law on disputes over re-classification of civil-law agreements; and she also provided recommendation and practical advice that should minimize the risks associated with the entry into a civil-law agreement.
The webinar audience of over 800 people included HR managers, accountants and HR specialists. The AGP attorney thanked the organizers for the provided opportunity to share her knowledge and experience and her plans to continue law employment webinars.
