What is the responsibility for the loss of the work book?

The legislation does not provide for the responsibility of the employee for the loss of the work book. The responsibility for keeping work books is assigned to the head of the enterprise, institution, or organization.

According to Clause 5.1 of Instruction No. 58, a person who has lost an employment book (insert to it) must immediately report this to the owner or the body authorized by him at the place of last work. Not later than 15 days after the application, and in case of complications at other times, the owner or the body authorized by him issues another work book or an insert to it (new samples) with the inscription "Duplicate" in the upper right corner of the first page.
