Production calendar based on a six-day work week.

Most working citizens in our country and in almost all countries of the world are accustomed to going to the production site in an office, factory, or field five days a week and devoting two days to their own rest. But some professions and industries require a six-day work week.

It is worth understanding how the 2018 production calendar differs when the work week is normalized to six days with a single official day off.

Reasons for the official development and legislative approval of this document

Regardless of the number of periods of employment, “five-day” or “six-day” is used, only strict regulation at the official level helps to clearly define work and rest days. Such a document is developed at the level of the state leadership and is adopted annually.

The next document for the next year was adopted on October 14, 2017. Regulatory document in this case, the issued Resolution of the Government of the Russian Federation No. 1250 became the basis for the formation of timesheets.

A feature of the formation at the legislative level of such a mandatory annual document is implementation of strict regulations, which forms the basis for the formation of production schedules for each employee of any production.

It is worth paying attention to the concept of “everyone”. It means the need to comply with the provisions of the resolution by any structures, regardless of the form of ownership.

Often in private enterprises, especially those belonging to the category of small enterprises and joint ventures, such a requirement don't always pay attention. Although comply with the law Russian Federation in any field of activity, each structure is obliged. In case of violation of this Resolution, the employee has the right to contact the Labor Inspectorate.

This article indicates the period of compulsory assignment of rest from labor activity during the New Year and Christmas period falling in 2018 on the dates from January 1 to January 8. An Orthodox xmas Christ's in our state also belongs to the category that applies to all residents, regardless of religious affiliation weekend.

Everyone in the country February 23 will not attend their workplace in honor of Defender of the Fatherland Day. This opportunity is also offered in International Women's Day March 8.

On 1st of May there is a holiday in honor of Spring and Labor Day. No need to visit the office or factory in Victory Day May 9.

All citizens of our state rest in Russia Day June 12 And November 4 on National Unity Day.

It is worth paying attention to the possibility provided for in Article 6 of the Code to establish additional days off and non-working days declared on the basis of laws adopted by regional legislative assemblies. There are other versions of regulatory legal acts. This possibility is confirmed by Resolution No. 20-ПВ11 of December 21, 2011, adopted by the Presidium Supreme Court Russian Federation.

Another official legislative document allowing local authorities to establish holidays and rest days is Letter No. 1129-31 of the Russian Ministry of Labor issued on July 10, 2003. This possibility is indicated in paragraph 8.

It is possible to assign dates for religious holidays in the form reasons for citizens not going to work. It is indicated in part 7 of article 4 Federal Law dated September 29, 1997 No. 125-FZ.

Transfers of vacation dates, covering the “six-day period”

Regardless of the five or six-day schedule of activities in 2018, fixed transfers the following options for grounds for not visiting the point of fulfillment of the provisions of the employment contract:

1. On Friday, March 9, residents of the state will rest as a result of the postponement of the official New Year holidays on January 6.
2. Since Christmas on January 7, 2018 falls on a Sunday, this day will be moved to May 2.
3. To extend the total duration of the schedule of official absence from work, Saturday, April 28, is moved to the Monday before Spring and Labor Day, May 1, April 30.
4. Instead of Saturday, June 9, for a similar reason, the day off is moved to Monday, June 11.
5. Everyone will return to work on December 29; instead, they will be able to stay at home on Monday, December 31.

This procedure is established by Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation No. 1250 adopted on October 14, 2017. Basis for annual adoption official document becomes fixed in the Labor Code of the Russian Federation in Article 112, part 5, requirement rational use similar periods.

Before the holiday, the length of time spent at work is reduced for 60 minutes. If the calendar date falls on Saturday or Sunday, but is officially a work date, since a transfer was made, no changes are provided in the duration of the period for performing production duties.

In 2018, all residents of the country expect long New Year holidays. They have been installed since December 30, 2017 and will last until January 8. You can enjoy long absence from service on February 23-25, March 8-11, April 29-May 2, June 10-12 and November 3-5.

When creating a schedule, you will need to take into account the mandatory requirement to maintain the duration of an employee’s employment on a “six-day week” before Sunday in the amount of 5 hours. This figure cannot be higher.

The procedure for calculating the standard and the indicators used

Article 91 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation indicates the strict need for such a calculation, taking into account the mandatory 40 hours for 7 days a week. Received total number divided by 6.

It is the result obtained that forms the basis for determining the periods of six-day employment of staff units in a production organization.

The specified duration is allocated for the implementation of the norm or the provision of services specified in the employment contract. They become basis for determining labor costs.

This standard is not accidental. It is designed taking into account the possibility of maintaining the normal state of health of a person engaged in performing official tasks. The rule applies to structures of any form of ownership. The number may be lower. This prospect implies a shortened schedule. The total number of all data for the next year was determined by the Ministry of Labor.

Next, the calculation is carried out using a simple formula. The given level of 40 units is divided by 6, that is, by the number of time intervals for performing official tasks. Next, take the number of days out to complete tasks to support activities.

Sundays are not taken into account as a legally established period of rest. For example, there are 21 working days in July. It turns out that 168 hours will be worked this month. They are accepted as the norm.

It is important not to forget to take into account holiday dates that are excluded from the calculation. If you select July in the example, you will not need to enter such an indicator. The indicators will then be summarized for the reporting period, which is a month, quarter, half year or year. In total, in 2018, 1,970 60-minute segments will need to be spent on performing official functions.

Personnel department employees and heads of organizations of any form of ownership when carrying out their own production duties it is this indicator that needs to be taken into account.

If there is a mention in the service contract of “irregular working hours,” you need to know that there is no possibility of requiring a specialist to go to the place of employment earlier than the indicator fixed in service orders and regulations or to remain at his machine or office desk longer in a free and mandatory manner. This phrase implies the possibility of official recording (processing) or the presence of a time period that will be reimbursed. Other is violation of labor laws.

In conclusion, it is worth noting that the annual legislative fixation of all of the above parameters helps the employee and the employer to responsibly fulfill their duties, without violating the rights of each party when performing tasks on a six-day basis.

How not to get confused and correctly distribute working time norms during the “six-day work week”? Moreover, if we're talking about about accounting, then working days, holidays and weekends must be taken into account when calculating vacation pay, travel allowances and when preparing reports. For this purpose, the production calendar for 2018 is being formed with a six-day working week.

Making a calendar for 2018

Article 112 Labor Code RF identified as non-working holidays, and by Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation of October 14, 2017 No. 1250 “On the transfer of days off in 2018.” These regulatory legal acts are the basis for the formation of the production calendar for 2018 with weekends and holidays.

Article 112 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation provides that the transfer of days off is carried out for the purpose of rational planning of working time in organizations and taking into account interests various categories citizens of the Russian Federation to create conditions for good rest. For these purposes, Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation of October 14, 2017 No. 1250 “On the transfer of weekends in 2018” provides for the following shift of weekends:

Thus, the following weekends have been moved to 2018:

• Also, to optimize rest time, weekends have been swapped with working days (Saturdays will be working days, and Mondays will be days off):
• Saturday 28 April to Monday 30 April;

• Saturday 29 December to Monday 31 December.

In a six-day work week, Saturdays are not days off, which means that these transfers are not provided for a six-day work week.

For those working on a six-day week, March 9, April 30, June 11 and December 31, 2018 will remain working days, since the transfer of days off to these dates is planned from Saturdays that coincide with non-working holidays, and for the “six-day week” Saturday is not a day off.

Due to the postponement of January 7 to May 2, workers with a six-day work week in 2018 will have two days off in a row on May holidays- 12 May.

Production calendar for 2018 with a six-day week

Here is the production calendar for 2018 with a six-day working week:

Below we present a quarterly production calendar for a six-day work week (with weekends and holidays). Taking into account all the transfers, the production calendar for a six-day working week will look like this (pre-holiday days, when the working day is reduced by 1 hour, are marked with an asterisk*):

Standard working hours for a six-day week

In accordance with Article 100 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation, a number of organizations and enterprises establish a six-day working week with one day off for their employees. The general day off is Sunday (Article 111 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation).

The normal working hours for a six-day working week, as well as for a five-day one, cannot exceed 40 hours per week (Article 91 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation).

For a six-day working week in accordance with the Procedure, approved. By Order of the Ministry of Health and Social Development of Russia dated August 13, 2009 N 588n, the standard working time is also calculated according to the calculated schedule of a five-day work week with two days off on Saturday and Sunday, based on the duration of daily work (shift).

In accordance with Part 1 of Article 95 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation, the duration of the working day or shift immediately preceding a non-working holiday is reduced by one hour. With a 6-day working week on the eve of the weekend, the duration of work cannot exceed 5 hours (part three of Article 95 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation).

The standard working time calculated in the specified order applies to all modes of work and rest.

Number of days in 2018 for a six-day work week (quarterly)

In conclusion, we present the number of days in 2018 for a six-day working week (quarterly):

The standard working time is determined by such factors as the length of the working week, the duration working day or shifts, distribution of days off, etc. Therefore, employers must independently calculate it in accordance with the specifics of work at a particular enterprise (for example, with a six-day working week).

The concept of a six-day working week, legislative framework

Chapter 16 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation provides for the establishment of working hours. Accurate definition this concept there is no legislation, however, Article 100 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation states that the working hours regime must take into account the following nuances:

• length of the working week (five-day work week with two days off, six-day work week with one day off or);
• for certain categories of workers;
• time of arrival and departure from work, including breaks;
• change of working days and days off in accordance with labor legislation and the contract.

Regardless of work mode, the working week should not exceed 40 hours in total. However, there is an exception when it is carried out - the standard working hours for a certain period (month, quarter, year) are observed.

This option is used if it is impossible to comply with the stipulated daily or monthly working hours. An organization can use a single operating mode (a five-day work week) or simultaneously use several modes (for example, one group works a five-day week with sliding days off, another group works a six-day week with one day off).

Features of a six-day work week compared to a five-day schedule

Article 111 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation states that with a five-day working week there are two days off, and with a six-day week - one. The second day off during a five-day week is set at collective agreement or according to the rules internal regulations, and Sunday is considered a general day off.

According to the rules, the length of the working day before a holiday is reduced by one hour. According to Article 95 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation, with a six-day working week, the duration of work on such days cannot exceed five hours.

It is worth noting that if a weekend and a non-working holiday coincide, the first is transferred to the next working day after the holiday. Exceptions to this rule are the New Year holidays and Christmas (Part 2 of Article 112 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation). In this case, two days off that coincided with these holidays are transferred to other days in the next calendar year.

This rule of transferring a day off that coincides with a holiday to the next working day also applies to regional holidays (Minutes No. 1 of 06/02/2014)

It is worth mentioning the length of a typical working day. With a five-day working week, it is eight hours; with a six-day working week, the number of hours per day is not clearly established, however, in practice, five days of seven hours are often set, and the sixth is five.

The nuances of work on a six-day schedule under different working conditions

Irregular working hours, in accordance with the Labor Code of the Russian Federation, provide that, by order of the employer, individual employees may be involved in performing their job duties beyond the established working hours. However, this regime can only be applied to those employees whose collective agreement or agreement contains a list job descriptions, adopted taking into account the representative body of workers.

The employee's consent to the use of such a regime is not required.

A flexible work schedule, according to Part 1 of Article 102 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation, is an organization of working time when the beginning, end or duration of working time is established by agreement of the parties employment contract. In this mode, daily or monthly working hours cannot be met, so summarized working time recording is used.

The employer, in this case, must ensure that the employee works the total number of working hours during a certain accounting period.

Set when duration production process higher permissible norm. This mode is used for more rational use of equipment, as well as increasing the volume of products or services provided. In accordance with Article 103 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation, each group of workers must perform their labor duties during the time established in the shift schedule.

In some types of production with unequal intensity of work throughout the working day, according to Article 105 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation, the working day can be divided into parts. Labor legislation does not regulate their duration and quantity. The only condition remains compliance with the limits of the total working time and the prescribed duration of daily work.

Internal labor regulations are local normative act, which regulates hiring, dismissal, rights, duties and responsibilities of the parties, work and rest hours, types of incentives and penalties applied to the employee, as well as other regulatory issues labor relations(Article 189 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation).

• April 28 (Saturday) from April 30 (Monday);
• June 9 (Saturday) from June 11 (Monday);
• December 29 (Saturday) from December 31 (Monday).

With a 6-day work week, Saturday is not considered a day off, which is why such a transfer is not provided for. That is, with a six-day working week, March 9, April 30, June 11 and December 31, 2018 remain working days. “New Year holidays” will last from January 1 to January 8.

• with a 40-hour work week – 8 hours;
• if the working week is less than 40 hours - the number of hours that is obtained by dividing the established working week by five.

The absence of postponements of weekends due to holidays does not in any way affect the procedure for calculating time standards, since they are calculated based on a five-day week.

Therefore, the working time standards for a six-day working week are:

• at 40 hours – 1970 hours (40 hours: 5 days × 247 days – 6 hours);
• at 36 hours – 1772.4 hours (36 hours: 5 days × 247 days – 6 hours);
• at 24 hours – 1179.6 hours (24 hours: 5 days × 247 days – 6 hours).

Example 2

At JSC Snegir there is a six-day work week with one day off. One of the employees, Karpova M.R., has a disabled child in her care. She is entitled to 4 additional days off every month. In October 2017, the employee was given days off to care for her child on the 10th, 14th (Saturday), 19th and 24th. What is the estimate of her earnings for the additional four days off?

Solution:

IN billing period(from October 1, 2016 to September 30, 2017) M.R. Karpova was awarded 345,000 rubles, the number of days worked was 235. Average daily earnings = 1,468 rubles (345,000 rubles / 235 days). Average additional earnings for 4 additional days off = 5872 rubles (1468 rubles x 4 days).

Traditionally, in matters of labor processes, in particular, the employment of staff and compensation for their labor activities in an enterprise, much attention is paid to calculating the official time frame in which workers are involved in performing daily tasks. Sometimes, solving “problems” in the context of correctly calculating employee salaries and paying their sheets requires a lot of effort from the company’s accounting department, as well as the human resources department. The guideline in determining basic hourly rates, the number of legal days off and working days is. This official source is fundamental for the preparation and execution of the company’s work schedule (for both the public and private sectors) for the next year.

In this article we will analyze the main points: how calendar features are regulated official schedule work in enterprises? Who determines standard working hours and according to what regulations? In which months can Russians count on long weekends in 2018?

What is regulated by the production calendar?

The production calendar is a special annual schedule of all working days and weekends, which is the basic source of official working time standards for the next 12 months. For correct and timely planning of the work process, formation labor schedules of the entire staff at public and private enterprises, as well as its high-quality implementation, the draft production calendar is prepared and approved in the previous year.

Official directives become the regulatory basis for approving the production calendar Russian Government, developed taking into account specific proposals and comments of the Ministry of Labor and Social Protection of the Russian Federation. So, for example, the basis for the calendar of this appointment for 2018 was the Draft Resolution of the Government of the Russian Federation “On the transfer of weekends in 2018”, published back in March 2017.

Functionally, the production calendar is used not only to create annual employment schedules, but also to monthly calculate the hourly employment of each full-time specialist. With its help, accounting makes calculations wages, vacation funds, financial payments for the period of official incapacity for work due to illness, etc. For the employees themselves this schedule gives a basic idea of ​​the official holidays for the coming year, as well as the ability to randomly select dates for the annual holiday period.

By whom and how are working hours set?

The standard of time intended for employment is a parameter that is established at the legislative level, and also applies to all labor regimes of citizens (Order of the Ministry of Health and Social Development of the Russian Federation No. 588n dated August 13, 2009).

The time frame of the workday is fixed based on the official standard working hours - the first 5 days of the week with 2 days off on Saturday and Sunday, as well as the duration of the employee’s shift itself.

In the generally accepted format (40-hour work week), 8 working hours is the standard duration of one day. Shortened options - 36- and 24-hour workweeks, assume a workday of 7.2 and 4.8 hours per day, respectively.

It is also important to note that the directives of Article 95 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation indicate a reduction in the working day by 1 hour on the eve of an official holiday.

When Russians will rest: working days and holidays in 2018 in Russia

Regardless of the annual production calendar, as well as a specific day in the week, the following holidays and their dates are recognized as official non-working days (Article 112 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation):

The specified public holidays are always officially non-working days for citizens of the Russian Federation, and missed working hours, according to the labor legislation of the Russian Federation, are not subject to any work-off. Moreover, if an official holiday falls on one of two weekends in the week (Saturday or Sunday), Russians, as a rule, have another additional day off, which will be transferred to the working day following the public holiday.

Attention! An exception to this legislative rule is the long New Year and Christmas holidays on January 1-8. Traditionally, during an 8-day vacation, only 2 days off, which fall on Saturday and Sunday, can be transferred.

In addition to the above-mentioned weekend dates, the days preceding the holiday in 2018 will be officially shortened by 1 hour of the working day - February 2, March 7, April 28, May 8, June 9 and December 29.
