What happened

On July 15, 2026, RESTART LLC received accreditation from a private employment agency (PEA) for the right to carry out activities to provide labor for workers (personnel). The information is entered into the register of accredited private employment agencies under registration number А006-00124-77/05592414.

Accreditation, not "license"

People often ask about an “staff augmentation license”; there is no such license in Russian law. Only private employment agencies that have been accredited by Rostrud have the right to provide personnel. The procedure is established by the Rules approved by Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation of November 30, 2022 No. 2181.

Why is this important for the customer? Since January 1, 2016, agency work has been prohibited in Russia (Article 56.1 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation, Federal Law dated May 5, 2014 No. 116-FZ), and the legal provision of personnel is regulated by Chapter 53.1 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation. Working with an unaccredited personnel supplier carries risks for the customer: reclassification of contracts into employment relationships, additional assessment of personal income tax and insurance premiums, and fines under Art. 5.27 Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation. Accreditation removes this risk on the supplier side.

What does this give to customers?

  • Legal purity. A contract for the provision of personnel with an accredited PrEA eliminates the risk of retraining into agency labor and labor relations, additional personal income tax charges and contributions, and fines.
  • One line of responsibility. IT accreditation (Ministry of Digital Development) and PrEA status in one legal entity: technology and personnel provision from one partner.
  • Flexible scaling. Strengthening the team to meet the peak of tasks without inflating the staff - within the framework of Chapter 53.1 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation.
  • Faster procurement and compliance. A public entry in the Rostrud register and a document in a trust package can easily be attached to the verification of a counterparty.
  • Less burden on HR and customer lawyers. Personnel administration, labor protection, payments and reporting on hired specialists are on RESTART’s side.
  • Compliance with the restrictions of the law is our zone. We control the timing of referrals, equal pay, shares and legislative prohibitions.

Outsourcing, staff augmentation and dedicated team - briefly

The three formats solve different problems, and only one of them needs accreditation - the provision of personnel.

  • Outsourcing — purchase of the result of the service: the contractor himself hires people and is responsible for the result. No accreditation required.
  • staff augmentation — specialists work under the control of the customer, but on the staff of an accredited PrEA. Rostrud accreditation is needed - now RESTART has it.
  • Dedicated / managed team — RESTART team for a task with management and responsibility for the result on our side.

For staff augmentation, the law establishes a framework that we comply with: assignment to one customer - up to 9 months in a row, payment not lower than that of full-time employees in similar positions, restrictions on the share of recruited personnel and prohibitions (strike, downtime, bankruptcy, work in harmful and dangerous conditions, certain hazardous production facilities).

Single environment: IT accreditation and PrEA in one legal entity

RESTART is an accredited IT company (Ministry of Digital Development of Russia) and now an accredited private employment agency. IT expertise and personnel provision are located in one legal entity: the customer does not need to assemble a environment from different contractors, and the contractual and compliance perimeter remains the same.
