If an offer of employment is received and is accepted, the employee and the company for which he or she is to work conclude a contract of employment. The contract specifies the terms and conditions governing employment. It normally includes such items as pay per hour, hours of work and pensions.

If either the employer or the employee is not satisfied the contract of employment can be brought to an end. The period of notice is usually contained in the contract. If it comes to such cases as dishonesty, serious neglect of duties or absence without good reason, an employee will be dismissed without notice. If an employee feels that he or she has been dismissed unfairly, he or she can bring a complaint before an industrial tribunal. The employee will be reinstated to the job or awarded compensation provided the dismissal is found as unfair.

If an employee became redundant as a result of the firm’s closure the redundant employee would become entitled to redundancy pay. And it would depend upon the employee’s age and length of service.

Those who are employed in civil service, that is in government or public administration, they feel more secure in their employment. The reason is that the number of people working in the public sphere is not reduced but steadily increases. Their job in administration is organized in a hierarchy (i.e., on different levels of seniority). They are given more authority and material rewards as they rise from bottom to the top of the hierarchy. Appointments and promotions are made on the basis of experience and qualification. However, there are disadvantages to government work. The material rewards are often less generous than those offered by private companies.

A working life normally ends in retirement. The retirement age varies from county to county. But in all advanced industrial countries it is much higher than in Russia. The difference amounts to 5 – 7 years.
