Effective September 1, 2025, amendments to Article 135 of the Russian Labor Code will come into force: employers will no longer be able to reduce an employee’s bonus by more than 20% of their monthly salary as a result of a disciplinary action.
We have prepared an overview that explores this topic in greater detail: it covers the concept of bonuses, their types, and how they can be formalized in company policies. We hope this material will be useful in your work and help you assess whether updates to internal documents are needed in advance.
