The new rules will allow for the prohibition of hiring foreign workers in certain sectors of labor, which has already occurred, for example, in the Moscow region, Krasnodar Krai, as well as in Novgorod and Nizhny Novgorod regions. In these regions, existing regulations limited the employment of foreigners working under a patent in a number of sectors.
Previously, employers could face fines of up to 1 million rubles or the threat of suspension of their activities for non-compliance with these norms, which in turn made the dismissal of employees potentially illegal. However, the new amendments will eliminate this legal gap, providing employers with a clear right to terminate employment contracts in the specified situations.
