Topical Issues of Paying Compensation for Residential Tenancy to Penitentiary System Personnel

The improvement of social and legal guarantees for the penitentiary system employees requires a number of changes to the Decree No. 894 of the Government of the Russian Federation of September 9, 2016. It seems necessary to abandon the declarative nature of the provided social guarantees, as is done in a number of foreign countries. In particular, the initial work to obtain appropriate compensation should be carried out by personnel departments. When an employee enters the service (or transferred from another division), the personnel officer is to find out from whether the employee has any housing at the place of service. If no, the personnel officer is to report to the housing commission, whose officer is to assist the employee in writing the application (since there is no sample in the corresponding law), to request a household composition certificate from the personnel department, and inquires the operational units to verify the accuracy of the information provided by the employee. Upon receipt of the relevant information from the operational unit, the housing commission gethers to decide upon payment to the employee. These chages are meant to improve the quality of work of penal system personnel, which will help achieve the goals of the law to correct convicts and prevent new crimes, by both convicts and other persons.
