– The staff of Volkswagen Group Rus is currently in rest mode. About 200 employees of Volkswagen Group Rus work in Nizhny Novgorod. The company offered a balanced package of benefits to Nizhny Novgorod employees who would voluntarily leave the company, Volkswagen’s Russian office has circulated.
It is reported that employees who sign a letter of resignation with the consent of the parties before June 17 will receive a severance payment of six salaries, and those who do so before June 29 will receive five salaries. In addition, retired employees will retain health insurance and personal ICT equipment until the end of 2022. It is especially emphasized that the offer to stop relates exclusively to employees of the Nizhny Novgorod division of the German automaker in Russia.
Recall that in Nizhny Novgorod, in the facilities of the GAZ group, VW produced the models Skoda Kodiaq, Skoda Karoq, Skoda Octavia and Volkswagen Taos. The assembly was carried out by GAZ employees, and representatives of Volkswagen exercised control. At the beginning of March 2022, production of Skoda and VW in Nizhny Novgorod was suspended and has not resumed until now, Kommersant reports.
Volkswagen’s decision to say goodbye to the staff of its division in Nizhny Novgorod means that the assembly of German cars at GAZ will apparently be completely eliminated.
