Resolution of May 8, 2025 No. 628
Citizens working in the Far North, mobilized or serving under contract as part of the Russian Guard troops and participating in a special military operation will be able to take advantage of the legally required compensation for travel expenses on vacation and back after returning from service. The Government Resolution on this has been signed.
Citizens who work in the Far North and equivalent territories have the right to compensation by law. Every two years, the cost of travel and baggage transportation to and from the vacation spot is reimbursed by the employer.
According to the Labor Code, the employment contract at the place of work of those mobilized or who signed a contract for military service in the Armed Forces of Russia is suspended, but retained. Thus, the right to compensation for travel on vacation and back for those of them who work in the Far North remains. In order for such citizens to be able to take advantage of the benefit upon their return, the Government previously decided to enshrine this norm in a resolution. Now it also applies to those workers in the Far North who carry out tasks of a special military operation as part of the Russian Guard troops.
The document specifies that the guarantee of free travel to and from the vacation spot for all mobilized and contracted participants in the special military operation from among citizens working in the Far North is maintained for the entire period of service under mobilization or contract. Previously, it was valid for one year.
