The working day is the time of the employee's performanceorganization of their immediate labor functions. In addition, the worker's time refers to the time when the employee does not perform official duties, but is subject to payment on the basis of the norms of the labor law (simple in the work due to the fault of the employer, etc.).
Normal and shortened labor hours
Normal working hoursis eight hours a day, forty - a week. This value is the maximum on the entire territory of the Russian Federation. For certain categories of employees, the value of the normal work week is reduced:
- up to 24 hours - for adolescents under sixteen;
- up to 35 hours - for invalids of the first and second groups;
- up to 36 hours - pedagogical workers, employees of harmful and / or dangerous productions.
The working day can be reducedfor certain categories of employees, for example, for medical professionals, as well as for those whose work is related to chemical weapons, materials containing HIV, etc. Also, the law establishes the need to reduce the duration of work by one hour on a pre-holiday day.
Reduction of working hours for these categories of citizens is the norm, and therefore necessary for all enterprises. The payment is made without recalculation.
Incomplete working hours
Sometimes a reduction in the number of hours worked is possible on the initiative of both the employee and the employer. Transfer for part-time work is allowed on request:
- a pregnant woman;
- an employee raising a child up to fourteen years of age or a disabled child;
- employees caring for a sick family member.
There are two options:Reduction of the working day with preservation of duration of the working week or reduction of the working week with preservation of hours of daily work (when any day of the week is declared an additional weekend).
Incomplete employment for women raising children under the age of three years is possible with the maintenance of maternity leave and the corresponding allowance.
In addition, it is possible to establishincomplete work hours at the employer's will, for example, when the conditions and organization of work are significantly changed at the enterprise. However, it should be remembered that the period for which an incomplete working day is introduced, in this case, can not exceed six months. Employees should be made aware of the introduction of the new regime in advance (two months) under the signature.
Since this mode is not the norm, paymentwork will be carried out on the basis of hours worked or work performed. If the incomplete working day was introduced at the initiative of the employer, and the employee does not want to change over to the new regime (since he does not want to lose money), he must be fired for reducing the staff with all the payments and benefits that are due in this case.
Incomplete length of working time retains for the employee all the rights to receive them leave (on a general basis), the sick-list, the calculation of the length of insurance.
Working hours in the enterprise
The duration of the work week, as well as the circleemployees working in a reduced or incomplete week, fixes in the enterprise the so-called regime and accounting of working time. It means the order of distribution of labor time, prescribed in local acts. It also includes:
- daily duration of professional functions;
- a clear indication of working hours and a lunch break;
- circle of employees with irregular day.
The formation of the working time regime at enterprises is handled by the labor department or, in its absence, personnel services.
