What Happened
The Ministry of Labor and Social Protection of the Population of the Republic of Kazakhstan has issued clarification on how employers should publish information about job vacancies and how the state accounts for the employment of citizens. The key points of the clarification relate to two interconnected processes: the obligation of employers to post vacancies on the Enbek.kz portal and the mechanism for the automatic removal of citizens from the unemployment register.
According to the agency's position, an employer is required to post a vacancy on Enbek.kz before the actual hiring of the employee. This makes information about job vacancies open and allows applicants, including those registered, to see current offers. At the same time, information about the employment of citizens is automatically accounted for through state information systems — that is, a person generally does not need to independently notify the employment center about starting a new job: data is pulled from the relevant state databases.
Who It Concerns
The clarification affects several groups.
- Employers — organizations and sole proprietors that hire personnel. For them, posting a vacancy on Enbek.kz becomes not a formality, but a mandatory step in the hiring process.
- Citizens registered as unemployed — it is important for them to understand that the fact of employment is recorded automatically and affects their status.
- Job seekers in general — the open publication of vacancies expands access to information about job opportunities on a unified state portal.
The logic of the system is to link data on vacancies and data on actual employment into a single digital framework. When a person is officially hired, this information through state information systems becomes the basis for reviewing their unemployment status.
What Employers Should Do
The practical takeaway for employers is simple: the vacancy must be published in advance, not retroactively. The recommended course of action is as follows:
1. Register and log in to the Enbek.kz portal.
2. Post an advertisement for the job vacancy with a description of the position, requirements, and conditions — before the new employee actually starts working.
3. Formalize employment relations in accordance with established procedures; information about hiring is then accounted for through state information systems.
This approach reduces the risk of claims and ensures transparency in hiring. Posting a vacancy on the unified portal is a way to show that the job was indeed open and available to applicants.
What Citizens Should Do
If you are registered as unemployed and have found a job, it is important to remember: information about your employment generally enters the system automatically. This means that after officially starting at a new place, your status may be reviewed without a separate application.
Nevertheless, it is useful to:
- keep documents confirming employment (employment contract, order of hiring);
- check your status in your personal account on Enbek.kz;
- in case of discrepancies in data, promptly contact the employment center at your place of residence.
Deadlines and Procedures for Application
The key time frame that employers should keep in mind is the publication of the vacancy before hiring the employee. The accounting of employment and removal from the unemployment register occurs through state information systems upon formalizing employment relations. Specific regulatory details and application features in individual cases should be clarified on the official portal and at territorial employment centers, as they implement these procedures in practice.
