employment rules in Russia

On July 24th, Russia saw a number of regulations regarding Employment Permits and Work Permits come into force. The applications made to the Employment Center to obtain Employment Center Conclusion had been put on hold, however, in recent weeks the authorities resumed the procedure in accordance with new regulations.
The modifications to the application process are as follows:
Employers must submit a Work Force Demand (WFD) application to local labor authorities.
WFD will last for thirty calendar days. The Employer can only apply to the Federal Migration Service (FMS) for Corporate and Personal Work to fill vacancies, only after these thirty days have passed.
The decision on issuance of the work permits will be made jointly by the FMS and the Federal Labor Authorities.
If approved, the FMS will issue Corporate and Personal Permits within 28 days of the initial application.
The remaining procedures are unchanged, for now. It is still necessary to obtain an invitation letter for a Work Visa and apply for the Visa at the Russian Consulate in the home country.
Corporate and Personal Work Permits will be scrutinized to a greater degree and reasons as to why they can be rejected, suspended or canceled are more clearly defined under the new regulations.
As Move One Relocations outlined in a previous bulletin, AmCham Russia has made arrangements with authorities for a special 'one-window' service, the Chamber is keeping members abreast of the situation. The above-mentioned Corporate and Personal Work Permits and the Invitation Letter can now be obtained by AmCham members in a single step. AmCham has also advised that the WFD procedure might be completed in concert with the three other steps.
Please contact Move One Relocations should you require more information on how to register with the authorities to avail of the the 'one-window' service.
In addition, Move One would like to notify our clients that foreign employees of companies who are members of AmCham do not need to take all 7 medical tests – only an HIV test is required.
Forecast for Foreign Labor in 2009:
Employers who missed the May 1st deadline to submit their forecast for foreign labor in 2009, can now submit any amendments to previous declarations or submit new forecasts before the end of August.
Employers who do not submit in time may not be permitted to employ foreigners for specific positions in 2009.

overseas job - teaching

Do not go abroad or even apply for an overseas job until you read this page!
Surprisingly, many people believe that the easiest way to secure overseas positions is to respond to a job ad. Yes, we post a lot of international vacancies, actually we post them daily. However, do not rely exclusively on job ads!
These candidates are no competition to seasoned international educators.
Here's why... Employment ads have a very high rejection level. And many of those jobs aren't that great. Consequently, a lot of people compete for a limited number of mediocre jobs -- missing out on great opportunities available elsewhere.
Do you want to know where the real jobs are?
There are about 35,000 American, Australian, NZ, British and Canadian teachers working overseas right now. They change schools and countries every 2-4 years, moving from Athens to Rome, Tokyo to Rio de Janeiro and so on.
These are rewarding positions, with established international schools, offering comfortable tax-free salaries, great benefit packages including life/health/emergency insurance, free round trip airfare, yearly home leave, free housing and utilities, pension plans, bonuses, etc. The family atmosphere of these schools create outstanding conditions for professional growth. Are you interested?
You can have access to these jobs within minutes!
We post new vacancies every 24 hours and you can use them to apply for work in 5 minutes! (We'll explain it in a few paragraphs.) But before you reply to the first vacancy ad please read the whole program!
Understanding of the overseas teaching market is what makes the international recruiters LOVE our candidates.
