YEREVAN, June 27. /ARKA/. The presentation of "Internal and Individual
Legal Acts of Employer" was held in Yerevan today.

According to the co-author of the book Hovsep Poghosyan, the
publication contains those legal acts of the employer that immediately
proceed from the requirements of the Labor Code of Armenia. In
particular, according to him, the point is about mandatory legal acts,
particularly internal disciplinary rules.

The book also contains examples of canceling job contracts, job
descriptions, contracts on full material responsibility, orders of
announcing contests for filling vacant positions, holding of qualified
exams for eligibility for a position, and also governmental acts,
provided by the Labor Coder of Armenia.

"According to the new Labor Code, a new culture of interrelations
between employers and employees that require clear-cut and
understandable rules of the game is established," Poghosyan said.

He reported that this book is the second publication of the series of
four books concerning the Armenian Labor Code. The first publication,
issued in 2005, was devoted to job contracts and was out of print
for a month. "The third book will be devoted to the issues of
social partnership and activity of the public labor inspection,"
Poghosyan said.

Besides this, a decision was made to publish a periodical with its
website that will contain problems of employers and employees and
suggestions for solutions to these problems.

The book’s edition consists of 600 copies. It costs AMD 3000 (about
$7). The authors are Hovsep Poghosyan, Sedrak Asatryan and Olga
Hovhannisyan.
