What penalties apply to juvenile offenders?
The Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation includes 10 types of punishments:
- warning;
- administrative penalty;
- confiscation of the instrument or subject of the offense;
- deprivation of special rights;
- administrative arrest;
- expulsion of a foreigner or stateless person from the Russian Federation;
- disqualification;
- administrative suspension of activities;
- compulsory work;
- a ban on visiting the venues of sporting competitions during the period of their holding.
Moreover, only one of them clearly does not apply to minors - this is administrative arrest (Part 2 of Article 3.9 of the Administrative Code). And this Code of Administrative Offenses also differs from the Criminal Code, which allows teenagers to be subjected to only 6 punishments out of 13 (you can read more about the features of the criminal liability of minors and the punishments applied to them here):
However, some of the above punishments, despite the absence of a direct prohibition on their application to teenagers, cannot be applied to them a priori. For example, disqualification, which consists of a temporary ban on holding positions in the federal or regional civil service. Filling such positions, in turn, presupposes reaching adulthood.
Responsibility for non-payment or incomplete payment of wages/
By virtue of Part 6 of Art. 5.27 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation, an employer may be held liable:
- for non-payment or incomplete payment on time of wages and other amounts within the framework of labor relations, if there are no signs of a criminal offense (Article 145.1 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation);
- due to the establishment of a salary in an amount less than that provided for by labor legislation, that is, less than the minimum wage.
Note:
In addition to administrative (and criminal) liability, the employer is subject to financial liability, which consists of the employer’s obligation to pay compensation to the employee for each day of delay in payment of earnings and other amounts within the framework of labor relations (Article 236 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation).
Let us remind you that wages must be paid at least every half month. The specific date of payment is established by internal labor regulations, a collective or labor agreement, but no later than 15 calendar days from the end of the period for which it was accrued. If the payment day coincides with a weekend or non-working holiday, then the salary must be paid the day before.
If the salary delay exceeds 15 days, then the employee has the right to suspend work by notifying the employer in writing (Article 142 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation). Until full payment of earnings, the employee has the right not to be at the workplace. For the specified period, his average earnings are retained. In this case, the employee is obliged to return to work no later than the next working day after receiving written notification from the employer of readiness to pay the delayed salary on the day the employee returns to work.
If facts of violations are revealed, the employer may be held liable under Part 6 of Art. 5.27 Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation. The punishment will be:
