The length of the working day is a matter in whichthe interests of both the employer and the employee intersect. For the first, it is important that the right amount of products be produced in a certain time. For the employee, the level of earnings and the possibility of a full rest, thanks to which it would be possible to restore strength, also depend on the duration of his working day. In fact, it is a conflict of interest between the worker and the employer. Unfortunately, the authorities are not always
can meet the norm of the working day.Often there are cases when accidents or any failures in the production process cause a loss of time. Moreover, there may be any urgent orders that promise a lot of benefits. To cope with them or to compensate for unforeseen failures in the production process, the employer can and has the right to increase the working time. In this case, special forms of organization of activities are needed.
Under certain conditions, legislationMost countries allow employers to increase their working hours. Our state is no exception. His Labor Code says that the employer can recruit for work outside the normal working hours for two reasons: either for overtime, or if the employee's working day is not standardized. In most cases, the use of such measures is a consequence of violations of the production process.
Overtime pay is money receivedworkers for "extra" working hours. It has its own characteristics. The total amount of overtime can be accurately known only at the end of the accounting period, then overtime is paid. Accounting for this time is in the special documentation.
Overtime pay is as follows:the first two “extra” hours are paid in half the amount, and all the rest are doubled. It is usually not included in the base amount for calculating premiums, since it often does not make sense to include it there. At the request of the employee, overtime pay may be replaced by an increase in rest time. For example, if he worked on a day off, he could choose some other day to rest. In this case, overtime pay is provided for a single. These provisions are based on Art. 152 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation. On a weekend or a holiday, workers are paid at least twice as much, and workers who receive an official salary receive at least a single rate - hourly or daily, depending on the time of work. These norms are established by Article 153 of the Labor Code.
How much the payment will be madeovertime may be established by a collective or individual labor contract (or some other regulatory document), drawn up taking into account the views of the representative body of employees. The same applies to people engaged in creative activities. In particular, this applies to employees of the theater, cinema or the media, as well as persons creating or exhibiting works of art.
