How long to work in 2021

Traditionally, working hours standards for 2021 depend on the number of days in 2021. Moreover, these are not only calendar days, but also working days. And also weekends and holidays.

Below is a table with estimated working hours for 2020.

In this 2021 production calendar with working hours, it is given for months, quarters and 2021 as a whole for 40-, 36- and 24-hour work weeks. The number of working days and days off is taken with a 5-day work week with two days off. Also in the last line is the average monthly working time for 2020.

Please note that working hours in January 2021 traditionally differ from other months due to the large number of New Year and Christmas holidays.

REFERENCE

In January 2021, with a 5-day work week with two days off – 17 working days and 14 days off.

Working hours and rest time according to the law

The provisions of the Labor Code contain such concepts as “working time” and “rest time”.

Working time is a time period equal to several hours. And during these hours the citizen fulfills his professional duties.

It is considered normal if a person works no more than 40 hours a week. If a subordinate works 5 days a week, his working day is 8 hours. With a 6-day work week, the working day is reduced to 7 hours (with the day before the weekend being 5 hours). This rule applies to most employees of organizations. The minority includes those categories for which a reduction in working hours is provided. This is done to protect their health.

Rest time is a period used by a citizen at his own discretion (i.e., time when he may not work).

Rest time is considered:

• breaks during the working day (shift);
• daily (between shifts) rest;
• weekend;
• holidays;
• vacation.

What is included in working hours

Working time includes the following:

• time to perform work duties, including: receiving work orders;
• proper preparation of materials;
• studying technical documentation;
• preparing and cleaning workplaces, etc.;

Saturday work is not considered part of working time. If there is still a need to involve employees in the cleanup, this is done only with their written consent.

Exceptions are the following situations:

• preventing the consequences of a disaster or accident;
• implementation of duties extended to a subordinate in connection with the introduction of a state of emergency.

In these exceptional cases, employed people are required to go to work even on weekends.

Medical examinations must be carried out during working hours. If an employee does not agree to undergo a medical examination on his day off, the employer does not have the right to insist on this.

Anything that does not relate to the employee’s duties under the employment contract should not be done during working hours. Each organization may have its own prohibitions, but they should not contradict labor legislation.

Working hours for a certain group of workers

Less than 40 hours per week can be worked by:

• minors;
• disabled people of groups I and II;
• working in conditions that are harmful to health or life threatening;
• teachers;
• medical staff.

In these cases, the permissible duration of work is determined by law. There are options when a limit is not set, but the employee has the right to work less (for example, this applies to pregnant women). It is also possible to adjust working hours by agreement between the employee and the employer.

Work on holidays

Before the holidays, the shift of subordinates is reduced by one hour. If a person had a rest on the day before the holiday, then the schedule does not change.

If it is not possible to interrupt the work of the organization and release subordinates earlier without damaging the process, management has the right to compensate for the “extra” hour of labor with remuneration for overtime or time off.

On holidays, the employer reduces the working day by one hour

How to determine working hours in 2020

As before, the calculation of working hours for 2021 is regulated by Order No. 588n of the Ministry of Health and Social Development of Russia dated August 13, 2009. It establishes the rules for calculating the norm of working time for certain calendar periods (month, quarter, year) depending on the established length of working time per week (5 days, 6 days, etc.).

It is important that the standard working time for 2020 calculated in this order applies to all work and rest regimes in 2020.

Note that for a six-day week, the standard working time is calculated according to a 5-day workweek schedule with two days off on Saturday and Sunday, based on the duration of daily work (shift).

Standard working hours for 2021 with 6 days

The guideline for the normal duration of work per week is determined based on a 5-day work week. This means that if an employee works 40 hours a week on a 5-day week, then on a 6-day week the norm is the same 40 hours.

The main difference from the five-day regime is the presence of only one day off (Sunday).

The number of days of work for a 6-day work week is:

Features of 2021

According to the law, the duration of the working day or shift immediately before a non-working holiday is subject to reduction by 1 hour (Part 1 of Article 95 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation).

In 2021, we will work 1 hour less on April 30, May 8, June 11, November 3, December 31.

That is, on the eve of the holidays May 1 and 9, June 12, November 4, 2020, as well as January 1, 2021.

When, by decision of the Government of the Russian Federation, a day off is moved to a working day, the duration of work on this former day off must correspond to the duration of the working day to which the day off was transferred.

As a result, in total in 2021, for employees with a 5-day work week, there will be 5 working days with a reduced duration of 1 hour.

Finally, we note that the number of working days in 2021 compared to 2021 is 1 day more, and the number of weekends and holidays in 2021 and 2021 is the same.

Standard working hours for 2021: nuances in connection with coronavirus

The COVID-19 pandemic forced the work schedule of many enterprises and individual entrepreneurs to adjust: by decrees of the President of the Russian Federation V.V. Putin, the period 03/30/2020-05/08/2020 was declared non-working.

Considering that the category of “non-working” days arose for the first time (previously only “weekends” and “non-working holidays” appeared) and does not apply to all enterprises, the labor standard for working hours 2021 requires some clarification:

Two more dates deserve special attention:

• June 24 became a non-working day due to the Victory Parade. The Ministry of Labor, in letter No. 14-1/B-733 dated June 17, 2020, expresses the opinion that this fact does not change the labor standard in June;
• July 1, in connection with the all-Russian vote on amending the Constitution of the Russian Federation, also became non-working. The Ministry of Labor believes that in this case, the standard for recording working hours in July remains the same (Letter dated June 17, 2020 No. 14-1/B-727).

The position of the department is taken into account in the article. However, this opinion is controversial: because Since these days have become non-working days, employees are not actually required to perform duties on them. It turns out that the work norm does not change, but in fact none of those not working on the specified days will fulfill the norm. The salary will not decrease and will remain at the usual level.

What are the working hours?

There are several types of working time, namely:

• normal;
• abbreviated;
• incomplete.

Subordinates may also be subject to special work regimes while maintaining the same general time. For example, their workday may be fragmented or flexible.

Normal working hours

The norm is 40 hours of work per week. This duration applies to employees who do not belong to preferential categories in most organizations with normal working conditions.

Working on a reduced schedule

Reducing working hours leads to a decrease in its duration compared to the norm. However, remuneration for the work of a subordinate is accrued in the same amount. The exception is for employees whose remuneration will depend on output.

Those who are permitted by law can work on a reduced schedule. However, they must provide documentary evidence of the justification for introducing reduced working hours.

Partial working hours

In practice, part-time work days or weeks are often established. The remuneration in this case is directly dependent on the hours worked. If management and employee agree to the upcoming changes, the work schedule changes. For certain categories of employees, the duration of part-time work is not standardized. The general rule is that a working day should not be less than 4 hours, and a week should not be less than 20 hours.

The obligation to transfer to a similar regime lies with the employer if such a request comes from:

• pregnant employee;
• mother (father) of a child under 14 years of age;
• mother (father) of a child with a disability under 18 years of age;
• an employee caring for a sick family member in accordance with a medical report.

Underemployment may occur if there is a threat of mass layoffs.

For example, an organization has introduced a 5-day work week with an 8-hour work day (40-hour week). At the request of a subordinate, he may be assigned not an eight-hour, but a six-hour working day (i.e., a 30-hour working week). This will be part time. If a 17-year-old employee gets a job at this company, by law he can work no more than 35 hours a week - 5 days for 7 hours. This is a shortened mode. But a teenager also has the right to part-time work; he can negotiate with management for the same 30-hour week.

Dividing the working day into parts

The head of the organization, with the consent of the employees, can apply a fragmented work schedule. This innovation is justified if it is necessary to increase productivity. Sometimes the working day is divided into parts for another reason, for example, if the load distribution during the day occurs with unequal intensity. At the same time, the total working time should not exceed that specified in the Labor Code.

As a rule, the day is divided into two parts. Between these parts there is a break, the duration of which is more than two hours.

Flexible working hours

Flexible work schedule is regulated by Art. 102 of the Labor Code. In this case, the start and end times of work are established by agreement between the employee and his supervisor. However, no one is canceling the standard hours required for work.

Flexible schedules include:

• fixed time (during which the employee is required to remain at the workplace);
• variable (flexible) time at the beginning and end of the working day, which the employee has the right to distribute himself;
• break for food and rest (not included in working hours);
• the duration of the accounting period (during which the employee must work the standard working hours established for this category of persons).

Such a work regime is necessary in the following cases:

1. If the work is related to creativity. Creative people are known to try to avoid standard work schedules.
2. If the organization needs to distribute work due to uneven workload, the influence of external conditions.
3. If the employee is bound by obligations outside of work, and the time of his presence at the workplace is not important.

For example, an accountant needs to take a child to educational activities several times a week. A woman can do her work at any time. She can set a flexible schedule according to the following scheme: the accounting period is a week, during which time she must work 40 hours. From 10:00 to 13:00, the accountant must be present in the office to coordinate the reporting and submit documents for signature. She plans the rest of her hours on her own. Lunch break - 1 hour without a fixed time.

Persons working in this regime are entitled to the same guarantees as other subordinates, namely:

• equal pay for work of equal value;
• provision of benefits in accordance with medical and other indications;
• inclusion of this work in the insurance period, etc.

During a business trip, flexible working hours are not applied, and accounting is carried out as during normal work hours.
