One of the most interesting novels is the length of the work week. Right now the Labour Code establishes this length as 40 working hours. The Committee headed by Prohorov suggested prolonging the work week up to 60 working hours. But for this prolonging an employer should ask an employee permission and the last one should agree with such change in his labour contract.

The Committee supposes that the present system of the labour law is aimed at a conservation of the old system of employment, which, undoubtedly, is out of date and constrains the development of the Russian labour market. They think that this novel would help to modernize the Russian labour market and to increase a productivity of labour.

One of the richest Russian businessmen Mihail Prohorov will pay 16 milliard rubles (about  500 million USD) to the budget of Krasnoyarskiy kray and to the budget of a little Siberian settlement Eruda (Krasnoyarskiy kray). This became possible because M.Prohorov had registered as a taxpayer in this settlement. And pointed amount of money he will pay is his income tax.

It’s important to mention that settlement Eruda will get about 1.6 milliard rubles and that there registered only 89 constant inhabitants (residents).

Maybe in this year the settlement’s budget of Eruda per inhabitant will be the biggest one in Russian and maybe even in the whole world.
