The provisions of the anti-corruption legislation and the Civil Code of the Russian Federation contain a ban on giving gifts to persons holding state and municipal posts, state and municipal employees, employees of individual organizations and on receiving gifts in connection with the performance of official (labor) duties.
In connection with the upcoming New Year and Christmas holidays, the Ministry of Labor and Social Protection of the Russian Federation recalls the need to comply with the ban on giving and receiving gifts.
The receipt by the relevant person of a gift is a violation of the ban, creates the conditions for a conflict of interest, casts doubt on the objectivity of the decisions made by him, and also entails liability provided by law, up to dismissal in connection with the loss of confidence, and in the case when the gift is regarded as a bribe - criminal liability.
