According to rough estimates, at risk of dismissal are about an additional 500 thousand people”, – said Safonov.

By agreement of the parties, as a rule, a severance pay and two salaries, and the termination date is usually a week or two,” reminded Fyodor Prokopov. There are also many cases when the employee is forced to write the resignation at own will, threatening to fire under. Such case, the official statistics do not fall, said uhXpert.
To pre-crisis levels of unemployment, the authorities expect to return to the end of 2021. By this time the number of registered at the labor exchange citizens should be reduced to 0.7 million.
