How to check whether I am a parasite or not. “Can I see if my neighbor is a parasite?” Naive questions about the new electronic database
Those not employed in the economy include able-bodied citizens of Belarus, foreign citizens and stateless persons (who have received a permanent residence permit) who do not carry out labor, entrepreneurial, craft, creative, educational or other activities.
How will they punish
From January 1, 2019, parasites will pay full tariffs for heating water. Now Belarusians pay only 20% of the real cost of this housing and communal services. From October 1 next year, heating and gas (if used for heating) will be added to hot water.
But not all parasites will have to pay in full. Only homeowners will have to pay for the above housing and communal services at 100% tariffs. At the same time, family members of the parasite living in the same apartment will pay their share of utilities at preferential rates. For example, in an apartment owned by a parasite, his working wife and child also live. In a month they used 9 cubic meters of hot water. For heating 3 cubes they will have to pay at 100% tariffs, 6 - at preferential rates.
If several parasites live in an apartment, and one of them is its owner, then all unoccupied people will have to pay full rates, and not just the owner of the property.
How to find out if you are in the database
From December 1, a database of people not employed in the economy became available on the Unified Electronic Services Portal. Every resident of the country can check whether he is on the lists. To do this, you need to go to the “one window” service at your place of residence with your passport, they will give you a login and password. After authorization on the website of the Unified Portal of Electronic Services, you need to select the “work and employment” category from the list, then “providing information about classifying a citizen as not employed in the economy.”
After this, you need to click on “order” and confirm your order. The system will inform you if you are in this database.
You can also obtain information about whether you are in the database of parasites from the commission for coordinating work to promote employment. Such commissions have been created under executive committees.
How to confirm employment abroad
Those who work or study outside of Belarus must provide a copy of the employment contract, certificate, permit, license to practice law, notary, certificate from an educational institution, contract for the provision of educational services or other documents confirming the fact of employment or training.
Documents must be submitted with an official translation into Russian or Belarusian. This may be an apostille (for countries that have signed the Hague Convention) or consular legalization), notarization or another existing form of certification of an official translation.
How can I transfer documents?
Documents confirming employment abroad can be personally brought to the employment promotion commission, sent by email or by regular mail. If you send documents by email, the file size should not exceed 5 MB. The following file formats are accepted: pdf, jpg, jpeg, png.
Who can be released
For some people, the Employment Promotion Commission may exempt them from full communal services due to the difficult life situations in which they find themselves. For example, if it is impossible to find a job, when caring for a disabled family member, etc.
To do this, a person needs to contact this commission and provide documents confirming a difficult life situation. The commission will review the documents and at its next meeting will decide whether to exempt from full communal services or not, and if so, for how long.
How often will the database be updated?
The first adjusted lists of able-bodied citizens not employed in the economy who pay for water heating at full tariffs will be generated by February 1, 2019. If a person is included in this database, but is employed (for example, works abroad), then he needs to submit the relevant documents to the commission before January 21, 2019. The lists of parasites will be updated quarterly.
Where is the Baranovichi commission located and how does it work?
A permanent commission for coordinating work to promote employment of the population of our city is located in the Baranovichi City Executive Committee: pl. Lenina, 2, office. 103. She works from Monday to Friday from 8.00 to 17.00 (lunch from 13.00 to 14.00).
Phone number: 41-22-46.
Commission email: [email protected].
The commission meets twice a month: on the second and fourth Wednesday of the month. This month, such meetings will take place on December 12 and 26, at 15:00.
It will include unemployed Belarusians, who will have to pay in full for some utilities starting next year. We found out how it will be possible to obtain information from this database, whether data about other residents of the country will be declassified and who should not be in it.
Where can I find the base of parasites?
It will appear on the Unified Portal of Electronic Services -. Officially, this service will be called “Providing, through the OAIS, access to a database of able-bodied citizens not employed in the economy.” There is no link to the database on the portal yet.
Can I access this database?
Anyone can look into the database of parasites. But first you need to gain access. There are two ways to do this. The first, simple one, is to take a special login and password from the “one-stop shop” operator in the executive committee or at the Republican Certification Center in Minsk (Masherova Ave., 25). The procedure is free, you only need a passport.
The second way is to make an electronic key. This is already paid; a key for a year will cost 51 rubles. 55 kopecks But with its help you can get other electronic services - for example, opening an individual entrepreneur or filing a tax return online.
It turns out that I can go to the database of parasites and see who is in it?
An individual can only access this information regarding himself personally, the National Center for Electronic Services clarified.
So, when you enter the database, you will only see whether you yourself are in it. Local executive and administrative bodies (that is, executive committees) will have full access, and they will decide who will pay for full utilities.
What data from parasites will be included in the database and where from?
This is passport data: full name, date of birth, gender, citizenship, registration information, series and number of passport (or other identification document), identification number. Information about unemployed Belarusians will flow into the database from various government agencies: the Social Security Fund, the Ministry of Labor, the Ministry of Health, the Ministry of Taxes and Duties, and so on.
Who won't have to pay full utilities?
The list of those who are not considered parasites is quite extensive. These are officially employed people, including under contract contracts, private entrepreneurs, artisans, lawyers, notaries, creative workers (but only those who are members of an official creative union - for example, the Writers' Union), military personnel, students working or studying abroad, etc. further. A complete list can be found in the Regulations on the procedure for classifying able-bodied citizens as not employed in the economy.
There are more people who are not considered parasites compared to the previous version of the decree. For example, now they include spouses of military personnel or those undergoing deployment where it is impossible to get a job. And this list is constantly expanding. So, the other day, the Minister of Labor and Social Protection Irina Kostevich said that the founders of enterprises, wives of diplomats and those registered with a dispensary do not need to pay full utilities (the Vitebsk Vesti newspaper reports this).
I got into the database, but I can’t pay full utilities. What should I do?
Contact the permanent commission for coordinating work to promote employment, which works under the executive committees. By the way, you need to go there if you are on the list of parasites by mistake.
The commission will be able to exempt you from full communal services if a person finds himself in a difficult life situation. And to make it easier to navigate, officials even compiled a rough list of such situations. This could be, for example, caring for a sick relative, moving to another city, and so on.
HOW IT WAS
In April 2015, Alexander Lukashenko signed the decree “On the Prevention of Social Dependency,” popularly known as the decree on parasitism. Those who did not work for 180 days or more during the year had to pay a fixed tax - 20 basic (at that time 360 rubles).
After protests swept the country in 2017, the president abolished the tax on parasitism. This year it has returned in a new format: from January 1 next year, parasites will pay in full for hot water, and on October 1 - for heating and gas water heaters. But this should only be done by those who pay utility bills - for example, the owner of an apartment. If the apartment belongs to a working man, and his non-working wife lives with him, then there is no need to pay full utilities.
MINSK, December 13 - Sputnik. In Belarus, the list of citizens who will not be included in the list has been clarified; the corresponding resolution of the Council of Ministers of December 8, 2018 No. 881 was officially published on Thursday on the National Legal Internet Portal.
Now the spouses of young professionals who work in distribution or redistribution in a region where there are difficulties finding work at this time will not be included in the “base of parasites”. Owners of property of commercial organizations, with the exception of joint-stock companies, will not get there either. Wives and husbands of diplomats who are abroad will also not be recognized as citizens not employed in the economy.
People of pre-retirement age will not be included in the new list.
“When compiling a database for the first half of the current year, the Ministry of Labor and Social Protection excludes from it citizens who, on January 1 of the next year, will have reached the generally established retirement age or will be older than this age; for the second half of the current year - citizens who, on July 1, next year will reach the generally established retirement age or will be older than this age,” this explanation is contained in the resolution of the Council of Ministers.
The database will not include parents whose child turned 7 years old in the semester in which it is formed. In addition, if in a large family a child became an adult while the lists were being compiled, the parents will still be listed as having many children.
Also, people who are under dispensary observation due to chronic or protracted mental disorders and diseases will not be recognized as “parasites.” However, this does not apply to Belarusians suffering from alcohol or drug addiction; they will be included in the base of those not employed in the country’s economy on a general basis.
The database of Belarusians not involved in the economy will contain more information about the person. In addition to the full name, identification number, information about registration at the place of residence and other things, information about citizenship, presence of children, their identification numbers and dates of birth will be indicated. In some cases, information about the deprivation and restoration of parental rights will be indicated.
To prove that they are not involved in the economy, a person can submit to the employment promotion commission not only the original documents, but also their copies in Russian and Belarusian. Documents in a foreign language must be officially translated into Russian or Belarusian.
In the near future, a unified database of students will also appear in Belarus, which will be maintained and updated by the Ministry of Education. The Ministry of Education will also determine the procedure for its formation and maintenance. By April 1, the student base must be integrated into the national automated information system.
The Council of Ministers expanded the list of those who will not be considered parasites, and also changed the list of data contained in the database about citizens not employed in the economy.
Able-bodied citizens not employed in the economy are now no longer treated as spouse of a young worker(employee) who began work on distribution (redistribution) for the period of their joint residence in an area where there is no opportunity to find a job.
Dependents, as before, do not include the wives and husbands of military personnel who perform military service under a contract or the military service of conscripted officers.
Wives of diplomatic workers were also excluded from the number of parasites, as well as spouses of administrative and technical personnel sent to work at diplomatic missions and consular offices of Belarus.
They will also not include in the database those who is under medical supervision due to chronic or protracted mental disorders (diseases). The exception is those who suffer from dependence syndrome on alcohol, drugs or toxic substances.
What information will be entered into the database of parasites?
We have made some changes to the list of information contained in the database about the population not employed in the economy. So, now the database contains identification number data, as well as information such as full name, date of birth, gender, citizenship, information about registration at the place of residence (stay), information on an identity document.
Information such as citizenship was also added to this list; date of death, date the individual was declared dead; date of reversal of the decision to declare the individual dead; date of recognition of an individual as missing, date of cancellation of the decision to recognize an individual as missing; the date of recognition of an individual as incompetent, the date of cancellation of the decision to recognize the individual as incompetent;
identification number and date of birth of the child; date of deprivation of parental rights, restoration of parental rights.
Residents of Belarus of pre-retirement age will not be included in the database
The authorities decided not to include Belarusians of pre-retirement age in the database. “When compiling a database for the first half of the current year, the Ministry of Labor and Social Protection excludes from it citizens who, on January 1 of the next year, will have reached the generally established retirement age or will be older than this age; for the second half of the current year - citizens who, as of July 1, next year will reach the generally established retirement age or will be older than this age,” the resolution of the Council of Ministers says.
Some changes will affect parents who are raising children under 7 years old, as well as those with many children. Thus, they will not be recorded as parasites, including if the child reached the age of 7 in the six months for which the database is being formed.
“Information about a citizen having three or more children under the age of 18
is included, among other things, if the child has reached the age of 18 in the half-year for which the database is being formed,” the resolution says.
The authorities also specify that Only adult Belarusians are included in the database. So, now the documents state that the Ministry of Internal Affairs creates a list of identification numbers of citizens (except for pensioners) once every six months. Now the authorities have clarified that the Ministry of Internal Affairs will include Belarusians aged 18 and older in its list.
The resolution of the Council of Ministers stipulates that “when forming a list of identification numbers of citizens for the first half of the current year, citizens who have reached 18 years of age as of July 1 of the current year are taken into account; for the second half of the current year - citizens who have reached 18 years of age as of January 1 of the next year. summer age." Simply put, the database will not include those who will be slightly under 18 years old at the time of its update (which is once every six months).
The Ministry of Education will create a common base of students
To create and maintain a database of citizens not employed in the economy, the Ministry of Education will prepare a unified database of students.
“The Ministry of Education should ensure that by April 1, 2019
organizational and technical measures for integration into the national
automated student database information system for the purpose of
automation of the process of its formation,” the resolution says.
The student database will be maintained at the expense of
provided for in the republican budget for the functioning of the institution
"Main information and analytical center of the Ministry of Education of the Republic of Belarus."
How to confirm non-parasitism
Belarusians will be able to submit to the commission not only original documents for which there are grounds for not being included in the parasite database, but also copies of them.
Supporting documents and (or) their copies are presented in Russian and (or)
Belarusian languages. Documents in other languages must be submitted with official
translation into Russian and (or) Belarusian languages.
How will Belarusians be informed that they have been included in the database?
Belarusians will be informed about their inclusion in the database through the appropriate electronic services of the national automated information system. The authorities also stipulated that information about payment for housing and communal services with reimbursement of costs will be provided through zhirovki.
What else has changed
Information about those who produce crop and livestock products on land plots provided for personal farming, construction and maintenance of a residential building will now be entered into the database not by the regional executive committees and the Minsk City Executive Committee, but by the National Cadastral Agency.
Some changes concern the composition of the permanent commission for coordinating work to promote employment. Now a secretary can be included in its composition at will. The position of the secretary of the commission, which is part of its composition, can be introduced within the established number of employees of the district or city executive committee. The secretary of the commission, who is not a member of it, may be an employee of an organization subordinate to the relevant local executive and administrative body.
Previously, it was stated that “members of the commission, with the exception of the secretary, perform their duties on a voluntary basis.” This item has now been removed.
They also stipulated that the commissions can “make decisions on the need to send able-bodied non-working citizens leading an asocial lifestyle to medical and labor dispensaries with the submission of extracts from the minutes of the commission meetings containing the relevant decisions to the territorial internal affairs bodies.”
Now the documents state that the database is formed on the basis of classifying citizens as able-bodied citizens who are not employed in the economy. After making changes, this paragraph reads as follows: “the database is formed on the basis of lists of identification numbers of citizens who are able-bodied citizens employed in the economy, or who are not classified as able-bodied citizens not employed in the economy.”
Who will be on the list of parasites and how to check it.
Based on lists of able-bodied citizens not employed in the economy, from January 1, 2019, bills will be presented for housing and communal services (HCS) and the use of residential premises of the state housing stock at prices (tariffs) that ensure full reimbursement of economically justified costs for their provision , writes Ekonomicheskaya Gazeta.
Lists of able-bodied citizens not employed in the economy who pay for services with reimbursement of costs (hereinafter referred to as the lists) are formed by permanent commissions for coordinating work to promote employment, created by district (city) executive committees (local administrations) (hereinafter referred to as the commissions).
Today they are actively developing their bases - the first lists must be formed by February 1, 2019 and approved by February 8, 2019 by the decision of the relevant executive committee (local administration).
No later than February 10, 2019, commissions must inform citizens that they are included in the list.
What the commission can do
The main task of the commissions is to coordinate the work to implement the norms of Lukashenko’s decree No. 3 of April 2, 2015 “On promoting employment of the population” (hereinafter referred to as the Decree). This resonant document, the so-called “decree on parasites,” was presented in a new edition at the beginning of this year (Lukashenko’s decree No. 1 of January 25, 2018).
The commissions may include deputies, specialists from labor, employment and social protection agencies, housing and communal services, internal affairs, other divisions of the district (city) executive committee (local administration), representatives of republican state public associations, and other public associations.
Members of the commissions work on a voluntary basis and do not receive remuneration for their activities.
Commissions have the right:
– exempt fully/partially able-bodied citizens who are not employed in the economy from paying for services with reimbursement of costs due to being in a difficult life situation at their request, or refuse such exemption;
– refer able-bodied non-working citizens to labor, employment and social protection authorities to assist them in finding employment;
– make decisions on the need to send able-bodied non-working citizens leading an asocial lifestyle to medical and labor dispensaries, etc.
How to view the list
Firstly, on the main page of the websites of district (city) executive committees (local administrations) there are links to the section “Decree No. 3 “On promoting employment of the population.” Here you can find up-to-date information about the commission (its composition, work schedule, contact numbers, etc.) and regulations related to maternity leave. Information about the formation (updating) of the database will be on this tab.
Secondly, you can contact the commission yourself and clarify whether your personal information is contained in the database.
Thirdly, local commissions are obliged through postal or telephone communications, SMS distribution, etc. inform the citizen that he has entered the database.
The specified information contains personal data of citizens, so they will not be publicly posted on websites, in the media, information stands, etc.
Information in the database will be updated quarterly. Consequently, informing citizens about their inclusion in the database will be quarterly.
The unemployed are also busy
Citizens registered as unemployed and who do not violate employment legislation (in particular, Articles 9-1, 23 and 25 of the Law “On Employment of the Republic of Belarus”, hereinafter referred to as the Law) will not be included in the database.
If, in accordance with employment legislation, citizens cannot be registered as unemployed, but are actively looking for a job, then when they receive an Application for full or partial exemption from payment for services with reimbursement of costs, their situation will be regarded as a difficult life situation.
In this case, the lack of employment opportunities must be confirmed by the labor, employment and social protection authority.
For the purposes of the Decree, a difficult life situation is understood as an objective circumstance (their totality) that does not depend on a citizen, which he cannot overcome due to the available capabilities.
The application form was approved by Resolution of the Council of Ministers dated March 31, 2018 No. 240. Documents confirming the reason for being in a difficult life situation must be attached to it.
The commission independently decides, taking into account the specific situation of a citizen, to exempt him from paying for all utility services provided at prices (tariffs) that ensure full reimbursement of the costs of their provision, or only from a specific specific service.
If a vacancy is being selected for an unemployed person for a long time, when refusing a suitable job and in other emergency situations, the commissions must take into account individual circumstances.
In all cases of violation by the unemployed of his duties provided for by the Law, he is included in the database.
In particular, a “pass” to the list is a failure to appear for a mark on the prescribed day within a month, absenteeism from a class for an unexcused reason, failure to fulfill the norm for paid public works, etc.
Everyone who works at least 1 day in a quarter is considered employed in the economy. For example, if a person worked for 3 days in January, quit and did not find a job until the second quarter; then he worked for 1 day in April and did not find a job until the third quarter, and so on throughout the year, he will be classified as employed in the economy.
Abroad will respond
Commissions are faced with situations where it is difficult to find out the actual location of citizens, but according to relatives and neighbors, they are located (live) in another region, abroad. If the fact of employment of these citizens is not confirmed, they will be classified as able-bodied citizens not employed in the economy.
Those working in representative offices of international organizations in the Republic of Belarus, diplomatic missions and consular offices of foreign states accredited in the Republic of Belarus are classified as employed in the economy. To confirm this fact, you must contact the commission at the place of registration and submit the relevant documents.
Those working abroad are recognized as employed when they apply to the commission with a supporting document - an agreement (contract) with a foreign employer, other documents confirming employment. Documents must be submitted with an official translation into Russian or Belarusian, an apostille for countries that have signed the Hague Convention, or consular legalization.
A citizen is recognized as employed for the period of validity of the agreement (contract), other document, but not more than 1 calendar year (from the date of conclusion).
For students studying abroad, supporting documents are: a certificate from an educational institution, an agreement for the provision of educational services, and other documents confirming the fact of study.
They must also be submitted with an official translation into Russian or Belarusian, certified by an apostille or consular legalization. A citizen is considered employed for the period for which the document is issued, but not more than 1 academic year.
The provisions of the Decree apply to citizens of Belarus regardless of their actual place of residence. Information confirming employment can be provided to the commission in person or by post, incl. to the commission's email address.
It must be clearly understood that Full reimbursement of housing and communal services costs threatens only housing and communal services payers included in the list.
In accordance with Resolution of the Council of Ministers dated June 12, 2014 No. 571, the payer of housing and communal services is the owner, tenant or tenant of residential premises, members of the developer organization, a shareholder who has entered into a shared construction agreement, a lessee, etc.
At the same time, if an able-bodied citizen who is not employed in the economy is registered together with the housing and communal services payer, then payment will be calculated based on whether the housing and communal services payer is employed in the economy.
If the payer is employed in the economy, payment will be made according to the generally established procedure with subsidies. If the payer is not employed in the economy, charges for utility services will be charged at the full tariff for the housing and communal services payer and the able-bodied citizen registered with him who is not employed in the economy.
At tariffs that ensure full reimbursement of economically justified costs for the provision of utility services, citizens not employed in the economy will reimburse hot water supply from January 1, 2019, as well as gas supply from October 1, 2019 (if they have individual gas heating appliances) and heat supply.
