Having in view that the existing Labor Code (paragraph 11e” of Article 47 of the’ Labor Code of the RSFSR and the corresponding paragraphs of the Labor Codes of other allied republics) permits the dismissal of a worker for absenteeism from work without sufficient reasons, if such absenteeism occurred for a total period of three days during a month, which, under the present condition of the absence of unemployment, tends to encourage absenteeism, infringes the normal process of production and is detrimental to the interests of the workers generally, the Central Executive Committee and the Council of People’s Commissaries resolve:

1. To cancel paragraph “e” of Article 47 of the Labor Code of the R. S. F. S. R. and the corresponding paragraphs of the Labor Codes of the allied republics.

2. To order that a worker be dismissed from the services of a factory or establishment even in case of one day’s absenteeism from work without sufficient reasons and be deprived of the food-and-goods card issued to him as a member of the staff of the factory or establishment and also of the use of lodgings which are allowed to him in the houses belonging to the factory or establishment.

3. To instruct the governments of the allied republics to amend correspondingly their Labor Codes.
