FINES FOR FAILURE TO REPORT EMPLOYMENT CONTRACTS IN THE ENBEK.KZ SYSTEM
Аmendments to the Code of Administrative Offenses will come into effect as of March 12, 2026
Our lawyers would like to highlight the most important aspects that should be taken into consideration.
Fines ranging from 129,000 to 648,000 tenge
Previously, companies were allowed not to reflect information on employment contracts and civil law contracts in the www.enbek.kz system (Unified System for Recording Employment Contracts), and no penalties were provided for this. However, starting from March 12, 2026, administrative fines will be applied.
These fines will be imposed both on the responsible official and on the company itself. The amount of the fines will vary depending on the type of business entity, ranging from 129,000 to 648,000 tenge.
Formal Composition of the Offense
Article 98.1-1 of the Code of Administrative Offenses (hereinafter – the CAO) constitutes a formal offense, where liability arises regardless of the consequences of the violation. It is sufficient that formal elements are present, such as late submission of information or incomplete disclosure of data.
Who will impose the fines
The fines will be imposed by state labor inspectors.
Recommendations to avoid unnecessary fines
First, it is necessary to timely enter all employee-related information into the www.enbek.kz system:
- when a new employee is hired – within 5 working days;
- when employment relations with an employee are terminated – within 3 working days;
- when the terms of an employment contract are changed – within 15 calendar days.
Changes to the terms of an employment contract
- change of place of work;
- change of the term of the employment contract;
- change of position and job function.
