One day off in a six-day work week: standard working hours and additional payments. What should be the standard hours for a six-day work week? Who works a 6 day work week?

With update from 05/05/2018

Production calendar (PC) is an unofficial document that, taking into account legal norms, facilitates the standardization and recording of working hours in the current year. In 2018, the main legal and accounting portals published 2 types of PCs: for a 5-day and a 6-day working week. Every year, the procedure for compiling PCs is secretly based on the norms of the Ministry of Health and Social Development of the Russian Federation.

The production calendar has been implemented in all modern systems accounting

The PC can be used in both paper and electronic formats. The second one is preferable because:

• many services have a pre-notification function, and the calendar user will never miss holidays and their periods, as well as official transfers;
• makes the calculation part easier thanks to built-in working time calculators

Clarifications on working time standards

Art. Art. 91 and 92 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation standardize the working hours for certain categories of workers:

• generally accepted - 40-hour work week;
• for company employees under 16 years old - up to 24 hours/week;
• from 16 to 18 years old - up to 35 hours/week;
• for disabled people of 1st and 2nd degree - up to 35 hours/week;
• for workers in hazardous and heavy industries - up to 36 hours/week.

There are also special regimes for students and part-time workers. According to the Labor Code of the Russian Federation and Order of the Ministry of Health and Social Development No. 588n dated August 13, 2009, any company by collective agreement can establish a different working time, which cannot exceed the maximum established by the Labor Code.

Important!

• In organizations with summarized time tracking for periods equal to a month or a year or another period of time, their daily, weekly and monthly norms are calculated based on the work period norms established in the Labor Code of the Russian Federation.
• When accounting for overtime in aggregate, work on holidays and weekends included in this period will not be recognized. This is considered to be overtime processing.
• So, if the period is the 3rd quarter of 2018, then the norm will be 520 hours. This means that overtime is recognized as time worked from 521 hours.
• It is worth noting that there will be no violation of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation in this case, since payment for work on holidays/weekends will have to be made in double amount.

But in any case, the daily rate is calculated from the standard assumption about the length of the week - 5/2. Even if the organization is on a 6-day schedule. The norm is calculated by dividing the weekly time by 5:

• 40 hours / 5 = 8 hours
• 36h. / 5 = 7.2 hours.
• 24 hours / 5 = 4.8 hours
• And so on.

The standard version of the production calendar takes into account all working time standards provided for by the Labor Code of the Russian Federation. The accountant can only find out the category of the employee in order to calculate his salary.

The monthly norm (MN) is calculated based on the daily norm (DN):

DN* number of working days in a month = MN,

if a reduction in working hours is expected in a month due to a subsequent holiday, then the number of hours of reduction is subtracted from the MT.

For example, the monthly working hours in November 2018 with a 5-day (40-hour) week:

(40 hours / 5)* 21 = 8*21 = 168 hours.

The annual working hours are calculated using the formula:

DN* number of working days in a year - “decreasing” hours.

Holidays and shortened days according to the calendar

So, what holidays await us in 2018 and what days will be shortened before these holidays will be described in detail below.

Holidays

Thus, the list of official non-working holidays at the federal level is given in Article 112 of the Labor Code.

But Russia is a multi-religious country, and its citizens’ holidays may differ. Therefore, Art. 6 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation and Article 4 of the Federal Law “On Freedom of Conscience and Religious Associations” stipulate that the authorities of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation can declare other days as holidays, taking into account local traditions and beliefs. So, for example, in the Republic of Tatarstan these are: June 25, August 30, September 1. The subject's holidays are included in the subject's PC and affect the standard working hours.

Holiday-day off

Part 2 of Article 112 states: if a holiday falls on a non-working Saturday or Sunday, then in return for this day off, another day of rest is provided - the next working day. This rule is valid for all times except the New Year holidays. So, November 4, 2018, National Unity Day, is Sunday, so the weekend will be November 3, 4 and 5.

In accordance with Article 113, it is prohibited to involve employees in work on holidays. It's easy to remember this when using a PC: dates are highlighted and when you hover over them, pop-up tips - warnings - appear.

Shortening the working day before a holiday

In addition to holidays, the calendar also marks pre-holiday days with a note about the obligatory reduction of the working day by one hour (according to Article 95 of the Labor Code). The “smart” PC will also take into account the days when holidays are moved from a weekend to a weekday.

Transfers of holidays in 2018

There are many holidays in the Russian Federation and sometimes these days are not very convenient for citizens. In order to optimize rest time, the legislator, in the same Article 6 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation, provided for the possibility of transferring holidays to other days. It is formalized by an annual Government Decree. From New Year holidays You can reschedule no more than 2 days, which has been done for several years in a row.

In 2018, transfers will be as follows:

• From Saturday January 6th to Friday March 9th
• From Sunday January 7th to Wednesday May 2nd
• From Saturday 28 April to Monday 30 April
• From Saturday 9 June to Monday 11 June
• From Saturday 29 December to Monday 31 December

All transfers became officially known in the fall of 2017, but nevertheless, adjustments are still possible, keep this in mind.

A few more words about the calendar

What data can be seen on the production calendar

PC is an unofficial document; its introduction and use is not regulated by law. However, in essence, PC is a reflection of some articles of laws on a regular calendar.

In addition to, in fact, the usual calendar with notes on working, weekends and holidays (official and national) days, the PC includes:

• tables with calculated working/non-working time standards by month and quarter,
• numerical information about the number of working hours and days off in each reporting period (from month to year),
• information about postponing holidays and reducing the length of the working day before them.

Who needs a calendar?

The working population of the Russian Federation almost always turns to PCs when planning a vacation.

Accountants use a PC to calculate disability payments, vacation pay, and salaries. Full accrual occurs when working hours are met for the month. Proportional accrual will be made in the case where the employee did not work for the entire month.

In “gray” companies, PCs are used by personnel officers, who are usually responsible for calculating part of the salary “in envelopes”. They also draw up work and shift schedules based on it, and count the number of vacation days to which the employee is entitled.

The rest of the population learns from the PC about professional and other holidays and weekends; uses other information.

The production calendar is indispensable for an accountant, so it should always be in sight.

Question 46. Basic standards of working time

The main working time standards are the working week and daily work (shift).
A working week is the number of working hours established by law or an employment contract during a calendar week.
The normal length of the working week cannot exceed 40 hours (Article 91 of the Labor Code). Thus, 40 hours a week is recognized as the maximum working time for all employees under an employment contract.
There are two types of working week - a 5-day with two days off and a 6-day with one day off, which is preserved in those organizations where, due to the nature and working conditions, the introduction of a five-day work week is impossible or impractical. The six-day work week has been retained in many educational institutions, where the transition to a 5-day work week is impossible due to the presence of maximum permissible physiological norms for students’ academic workload. For 6 days working week Some government agencies, service enterprises, etc. operate.
Duration daily work(shifts) is set by the employer based on the weekly working hours. With a normal working week (40 hours), it is usually: for a 5-day work week - 8 hours, for a 6-day work week - 7 hours, on a day before a day off - 5 hours.
The length of the working day or shift immediately preceding a non-working holiday is reduced by 1 hour. In continuously operating organizations and in certain types of work, where it is impossible to reduce the hours of work (shift) on a pre-holiday day, overtime is compensated by providing the employee with additional rest time or, with the consent of the employee, payment according to the standards established for overtime work (Article 95 of the Labor Code).
When working in shifts (2,3 or 4 shifts), the duration of the shift can be different - 10, 12, 14, 24 hours in accordance with the shift schedule, which is established by the employer taking into account the opinion of the elected trade union body, depending on the conditions and nature of the work.
For workers who need special social protection, as well as for those working in harmful and dangerous working conditions, the law limits the maximum duration of daily work (shift) - Art. 94 TK. It cannot exceed:
- for workers aged 15 to 16 years - 5 hours; from 16 to 18 years old - 7 hours;
- for students in general educational institutions, educational institutions of primary and secondary vocational education, combining during school year study with work, from 14 to 16 years old - 2.5 hours, from 16 to 18 years old - 4 hours;
- for disabled people - in accordance with a medical report;
- for workers engaged in work with harmful and (or) dangerous working conditions, where reduced working hours are established:
- with a 36-hour work week - 8 hours;
- with a 30-hour work week or less - 6 hours.

The production calendar for a five-day and six-day working week differs not only in the number of working days. Holidays that fall on weekends are counted differently. Read how to compose production calendar 2018 with a six-day working week, how many working days and days off compared to a five-day week. We also showed by example how regional holidays change the production calendar.

Six-day production calendar for 2018

A production calendar is needed not only for scheduling work. It is used to distribute working time standards and calculate vacation and travel allowances.

Regular weekends are joined by holidays, of which there are quite a few on the Russian calendar. If a holiday falls on Saturday or Sunday, the rest period increases. In a five-day and a six-day work week, holidays are counted differently.

Holidays are taken into account on the basis of two regulations:

• Labor Code of the Russian Federation (Article 112),
• Government Decree (approved annually).

In the constituent entities of the Russian Federation, authorities may adopt regional regulations establishing additional days off. We will talk about this below.

Article 112 of the Labor Code lists non-working holidays. This list is fixed and does not change:

If a holiday falls on a Saturday or Sunday, the holiday is moved to a working day. The transfer is carried out by Government Decree. In 2018, holidays are postponed by Decree No. 1250 dated October 14, 2017:

By this Resolution in 2018, during the five-day period, holidays are postponed as follows:

• Saturday 6 January has been moved to Friday 9 March
• Sunday 7 January has been moved to Wednesday 2 May.

Another 3 days were swapped, after which Saturdays were made working days, and Mondays were days off:

• Saturday 28 April and Monday 30 April
• Saturday 9 June and Monday 11 June
• Saturday 29 December and Monday 31 December.

For those who work six days, the working days will remain March 9, April 30, June 11, and December 31. Saturdays coinciding with holidays are transferred to these dates. And with a six-day week, Saturday is not a day off.

Let's show the difference with an example. Weekends for Spring and Labor Day are as follows:

Before holidays, the duration of the last working day is reduced by 1 hour. For six-day workers in 2018, the shortened days will be February 22, March 7, April 30, May 8, November 3, December 31.

We have compiled an all-Russian six-day production calendar for 2018, taking into account all holidays:

It is no secret that some employers, instead of the usual five working days, establish a six-day working week for the team. For this reason, many are interested in a number of questions:

• What are the standard hours per week with six working days;
• How is processing paid?
• What should be the duration of rest with such a work schedule;
• How are vacations calculated for a six-day work schedule?
• How to calculate working hours;
• How to set a six-day work schedule in an organization.

The most common schedule options are either a 5-day work week or shift work (every three days). In both cases, you should be guided by the generally accepted standard of working hours per week - no more than 40 hours. The same applies to those who work on a “six-day” basis, and all hours that the employee worked above the norm must be paid at an increased rate, even if such schedule features were specified in advance in the employment contract.

Below we consider the situation when the employer is obliged to make additional payments for overtime work:

Nikanorova S.I. works in an organization where the work schedule is 6 days a week, day off is Sunday. Her working day lasts from 09:00. 00 min. until 5 p.m. 00 min. On Saturdays she works from 10 o'clock. 00 min. until 2 p.m. 00 min. Thus, she completes her weekly hours (40 hours) on Friday. Her work hours on Saturday are considered overtime, despite the fact that the organization’s local documents indicate the working hours.

In accordance with the Labor Code of the Russian Federation, she should be paid monthly additional payments for work above the norm, but the manager does not do this. Nikanorova S.I. appealed to the Trade Union with a complaint about the lack of additional payments, and after an inspection, the body determined that the actions of the manager Nikanorova S.I. are illegal.

Thus, all hours exceeding the weekly norm (40 hours) are overtime and are subject to mandatory compensation at a higher rate than scheduled work time on weekdays.

What regulatory documents and laws should employees working on a six-day week and employers planning to establish such a schedule be guided by:

• “Production calendar for 2017”;
• Art. 100 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation on working hours;
• Art. 91 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation on normal working hours;
• Art. 111 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation on days off;
• Art. 152 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation on overtime work.

Is it possible to establish a six-day work week with one day off and how to do this?

The legislation does not make any prohibitions regarding the formation of work schedules in organizations: managers can establish both five-day or shift work schedules, as well as irregular work schedules. However, it should be remembered that, regardless of the schedule, there is only one standard working hours per week - 40 hours. The rest of the time worked on weekends is paid at double the rate.

To prevent errors in calculations, each company must keep a time sheet, which will indicate all employees and the days on which they worked or rested. At the end of the reporting period, this document is submitted to the accounting department, and on the basis of it, wages are calculated for each employee.

If the enterprise was organized only recently, then the working hours must be reflected in internal documents:

• Collective agreement;
• Employment contracts (when concluded with employees);
• Internal labor regulations.

If an organization plans to switch from a five- to six-day work schedule, it will have to either re-sign employment contracts or draw up additional agreements to them. In any case, all documents must be properly executed and contain the necessary information, otherwise it will be considered a violation of labor laws.

Thus, when deciding to switch to a six-day work week, you need to consider several nuances:

• Changes must be made only with the written consent of all employees (Article 72 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation). The only exceptions are cases when it is impossible to maintain the previous work schedule due to technical or organizational reasons: then only a unilateral decision of the manager is sufficient (Article 74 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation);
• The employer is obliged to notify his subordinates no later than 2 months before the transfer to a new work mode, providing them with a notice to sign;
• Additional agreements are concluded with employees who agree to the new schedule. Those who do not agree must be offered suitable available vacancies, and in their absence or refusal, employees are subject to dismissal under clause 7, part 1, art. 77 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation, and they will have to pay severance pay equal to two weeks’ average earnings.

Important! The duration of continuous weekly rest should not be less than 42 hours with a six-day work schedule. Let's look at a correct example of creating a daily routine:

Davydova O.M. works as an accountant at a company. Her working days from Monday to Friday last from 08:00. 00 min. until 16 o'clock 00 min. On Saturday she works from 08:00. 00 min. until 12 o'clock 00 min. Thus, she has 44 hours left to rest until Monday, and the employer does not violate the law.

What if the organization has a five-day schedule, but employees periodically have to go to work on their days off? In this case, it is not necessary to draw up an additional agreement to the employment contract, because this is not a permanent mode of work, but overtime must be paid in any case. If desired, employees can use another option - ask their manager to provide time off, which is calculated at double the number of overtime hours.

How to calculate the standard working time for a six-day work week with one day off: rules

There should not be any particular difficulties in calculating here - just remember that all time exceeding 40 hours per week must be paid accordingly. For the calculation, you should use a working time sheet, and the maximum duration of overtime in one day cannot be more than 5 hours, even with additional payment. What could be an exception:

• The employee remains to work in the organization on his day off for more than 5 hours on his own initiative;
• Exceeding the overtime norm of 5 hours in one day off is caused by production necessity, but this must be documented in case of inspection.

If the organization has officially established a five-day workday, but the employee had to go on his day off, he can be compensated by time off based on his application, which must contain the following information:

• Name of the enterprise, full name directors;
• The bottom line: please provide another day of rest indicating a specific date for going to work on a day off (the date is also indicated);
• Date of compilation and signature of the employee requesting time off.

In some organizations, there is a practice according to which, if overtime is systematically allowed, employees are given time off without their applications. This is permitted by law, but such a condition must be reflected in a collective or labor agreement, or in the internal regulations of the enterprise.

As for vacations, the general calculation procedure is used here, regardless of what daily routine is established in the company. Their duration does not depend on the number of hours worked and must be at least 28 calendar days. An exception is the category of employees who are granted additional leave: in this case, the duration of rest may be greater than the norm regulated by the Labor Code of the Russian Federation.

The most important nuance when establishing a six-day work week is the correct execution of all documents reflecting the work schedule. If an employee was initially employed on a five-day workday, and after some time he had to switch to a six-day workday, and the overtime is not paid, he has the right to complain to the Trade Union or the State Labor Safety Inspectorate, but collective complaints are most effective.

Any company knows that paying taxes on time is just as important as paying wages. Tax calendars will remind you when and what tax to pay.
