OREANDA-NEWS. July 27, 2010. For a period from 2 to 27 August the majority of OJSC KAMAZ’s employees will go on annual corporative paid leave.

The decision about it was made by OJSC KAMAZ’s management jointly with the trade-union committee as far back as last year. According to Yury Klochkov, First Deputy Director General and CEO of OJSC KAMAZ, the European auto producers normally use this practice enabling to considerably cut costs: as utilities are not used, sizable means are saved. Besides, there is no need for the KAMAZ workers to combine jobs and work for those on leave. But not all employees will be on holiday: a part of the personnel – a sale service, maintenance personnel, and some other categories of employees – will work all the same.

Suspension of production will be used for repair and modernization of equipment which usually operates round-the-clock.
