With the aim of resolving individual labor disputes, a Conciliation Commission for the consideration of individual labor disputes has been created in the Bank. The Commission consists of an equal number of representatives of the employer and employees of the Bank, elected at the general meeting of the labor collective. The Commission is a permanently operating body for the consideration of individual labor disputes. A labor dispute is subject to consideration by the Commission if the employee independently or with the participation of a representative has not settled the disagreements during direct negotiations with the employer or their authorized representative.
