Complaint to the prosecutor’s office against an employer
A complaint to the prosecutor’s office against an employer can be filed in the event of any violation of your labor rights. The appeal can be made in person, as well as by ordinary or electronic mail. If you submit the application at the prosecutor’s office itself, one of the copies must be returned to you with a stamp of acceptance. You can be refused consideration only in writing and referred to another competent authority. The application should contain your details and those of the employer, as well as the essence of the problem. However, you can also compose an anonymous letter to the prosecutor’s office. The most important thing is to act promptly. The period for considering labor disputes is only 3 months, and in the case of unlawful dismissal – 30 days. The prosecutor’s office can help with:
- initiating proceedings on administrative offenses;
- taking measures to initiate criminal cases;
- issuing orders;
- protests.
Depending on the specifics of the labor dispute, the prosecutor will advise you on how to protect your rights. For example, it is often necessary to file a petition with the court. By the way, the prosecutor has the right to appear in court in defense of the rights of a citizen who cannot do so independently due to certain circumstances. The effectiveness of the prosecutor’s actions directly depends on the correctness of the application. Contact our specialists, and they will certainly help you competently write the appeal.
