For part-time employment, not all employees require permission from their main place of work.

Basic Concepts

Part-time work is additional regular paid work that is performed in your free time from your main one. Any person can do part-time work, regardless of how many such jobs he or she has. One-time additional work is not part-time work.

Signs of external part-time work – a person of his own free will enters into an employment contract with any third-party organization (not at his main place of work). In practice, this type of part-time job is more common.

Internal part-time work involves performing any additional work (under an employment contract) in the same organization where one works, but in a different specialty or in a different full-time position.

Attention! The benefit here is mutual - the employee receives additional income and at the same time does not need to adapt to an unfamiliar team, and the employer is satisfied with the high-quality performance of both tasks.

According to Art. 282 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation the following persons cannot be part-time workers:

who have not yet turned 18 years old (we talked about the peculiarities of employing minors here);
who drive vehicles;
municipal and government employees;
whose work involves hazardous conditions similar to their main job.

Compiling an application for a part-time job

The document is drawn up before going to work or upon actually going to work. Always in writing (by hand or on the computer). In the “header” we traditionally reflect information about the representative of the organization (individual entrepreneur), who is the employer, information about the applicant (if the part-time job is internal, then the position and department, as well as full name)

It is important to reflect the following points in the statement:

please hire part-time and not at your main place of work
What position and in what department is the part-time employee applying for?
what is the salary (half rate, quarter rate, etc.)
From what date does the part-time worker begin to perform duties?
working hours, working hours
date of application and personal signature. No one else signs such a document, even if there is a power of attorney to sign the document.

The employer should be careful: the following cannot be accepted in accordance with an application for part-time work:

minors
state and municipal employees (except for scientific, teaching activities, as well as those directly specified in the Law on Civil Service)
with harmful and (or) dangerous working conditions, when they are such at their main place of work, etc.

Step-by-step instructions for the registration procedure

The employment of part-time workers is carried out in the same way as the hiring of main employees; in the same way, it is necessary to conclude an employment contract. The set of documents required for employment will vary slightly (depending on the type). Such employees have the right to annual paid leave and enjoy all other rights and benefits, including wages they also receive twice a month (Article 136 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation). The consent of the main employer for part-time work is not required.

If an external part-time worker is accepted

What documents must be presented when applying for an external part-time job?

These are: a general passport (or any document that can be used to prove your identity), a document on education (a certified copy is possible), a certificate of assignment of a Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN), SNILS, a military ID, a certificate from the main employer indicating working conditions (whether they are harmful or not) ).

The admission procedure consists of the following points:

Submission of documents and applications.
Familiarization with the regulations of the enterprise.
Conclusion of an employment contract.
Preparation of the order.

Next, we will consider in more detail all the main stages.

Application for part-time employment - it is written in any form, but it must contain personal data (full name, address, education).
The name of the organization where the future employee is being registered, as well as the full name of the manager, is written in the header. The text is a request to be hired part-time, then you need to write down the position and indicate the release date. After this, as usual, a signature and date are placed. For an external part-time worker, it will be necessary to attach the necessary documents to the application (Article 65 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation).
Form of employment contract for part-time work – it can be urgent or indefinite. Such an agreement is essentially similar to the one concluded with the main employee, but has some nuances:
Working hours are limited (it should not exceed 4 hours a day).
The remuneration system is exactly the same as for other employees (adjustment only for the amount of working time).

An order for part-time employment is issued in the established specific form (T-1), it must indicate that the work will be performed part-time. Familiarization with the order against signature must take place within three days.

An entry in the work book when applying for a part-time job is made only at the request of the employee. If there is such a desire, then to the main place of work the employee brings a certified duplicate of the order and a certificate from the place of part-time work, which records the name of the organization, the necessary details, position and date of start of cooperation. According to this information, an entry is made into the work book.

An example of a part-time job entry:

Internal alignment

To register an internal combination, there is no need to submit all the documents, since the employer already has them; the only thing that may be required is confirmation of qualifications (if the position requires it).

The application must be written in free form - please accept the position. The date is written down - from what moment the person will start working and it is necessary to indicate that it is part-time.
Employment contract - a separate contract is concluded (Article 282 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation), which clearly states the regime and working conditions of this part-time worker (no more than 4 hours a day). It can also be indefinite or fixed-term.
an entry in the work book (Article 66 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation). But if an employee wants an entry to be included in his work book, he needs to write a corresponding application to the HR department (about making an entry). It is produced exactly according to the same principle as the rest of the information (on the main job), but it is necessary to write in section 3 that the employment takes place part-time.

Entry in the work book of a part-time worker

The employer does not have the right to make any entries in the work book of a part-time employee. Everything related to part-time work is noted in the Labor Code by the main employer.

To make a record of work, the main employer will need a certified copy of the order for part-time employment or a certificate containing the details of such an order.

An entry about part-time work is made in the Work Book only at the request of the employee.

How to transfer an external employee to permanent staff?

Attention! Sometimes, after a successful part-time experience, a person decides to change his main place of work, that is, from an external part-time worker to become a permanent main employee.

This can be done in various ways:

Dismissal - with this option, the employment contract (part-time worker) is first terminated: at one’s own request or by agreement. In this case, all required payments and compensations are made without fail (Article 140 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation). After this, you can register on a permanent basis (by checking the record of dismissal from your main place of work in your work book).
Transfer – you can come to an agreement with the employer (your part-time worker) at your main place of work and, through a transfer, secure his employment. An order is also issued to transfer the employee from a part-time job to a permanent one. But this option is very rarely used, as it is considered the least convenient for the employer.
Additional agreement - you can draw it up as an addition to the employment contract concluded earlier.
The agreement specifies information that this employee becomes permanent (not a part-time worker), and appropriate changes are also made (wages, working hours, daily routine, etc.). In this case, the employee will also need to provide additional documents - a work book (with a record of dismissal) and a 2-NDFL certificate. It is important to indicate the date of entry into force of the agreement - it is considered the beginning of work in a new capacity, that is, now this place of work has become the main one.

Difference between part-time and combination

In labor legislation there is a concept similar in name - combination of professions (positions) . Its essence is described in Article 60.2 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation. There is no need to confuse combination and part-time work - there are many differences between them. Which ones exactly - look in the table.

Table. Comparison of part-time and combination

Criteria	Part-time job	Combination
Working hours	The work is performed in free time from the main work (Part 1 of Article 60.1), no more than 4 hours a day. When registering a part-time employee, the standard working time for this employee is indicated - 40 hours.	According to Art. 60.2 work is performed during the established duration of the working day (shift). That is, the employee must be able to complete primary and additional work within 8 hours. The employer cannot determine how much time the employee will devote to the main job and how much to additional work, so the standard working time for combination is not specified in the contract.
Employer	The work can be performed either for the main employer (internal part-time job) or for another (external part-time job).	The work is performed for only one employer.
Registration of labor relations	An employment contract is concluded, which must indicate that the work is performed part-time.	An employment contract is not concluded. The conditions for performing additional work are specified in the combination agreement.
Probation	May be by agreement of the parties.	Not installed.
Salary	Carried out in accordance with the rules established by a specific employer for a specific position (salary, allowances, bonuses, etc.).	The amount of additional payment is established by agreement of the parties, taking into account the volume and conditions of work.
Vacation	Annual paid leave is provided simultaneously with leave for the main job. If at a part-time job the duration of leave is less than at the main job, then the employer, at the request of the employee, provides him with leave without pay for the corresponding duration.	The duration of vacation for a part-time position does not in any way affect the duration of vacation for a part-time employee.
Employee personal card	A new personal card is issued.	The personal card form does not provide for entering information about additional work.
Employment history	Information about part-time work is entered into the work book at the place of main work at the request of the employee on the basis of a document confirming part-time work (Part 5 of Article 66).	Information about the combination is not entered into the work book. If the employee later needs this information, the employer issues a certificate stating that during such and such a period the employee performed certain types of work during the period of temporary disability and business trip.
Periods of temporary incapacity for work	The employee retains his place of work. The employee provides the employer with a separate certificate of incapacity for work marked “part-time.”	During this period, the employee is removed from additional work. The employer can assign it to another employee. There is no need to provide a separate certificate of incapacity for work - a certificate of incapacity for work for the main job is sufficient.
Dismissal	Occurs on a general basis in accordance with Art. 77 TK. An employment contract concluded for an indefinite period may be terminated if an employee is hired for whom the part-time job will be the main one. The employer must warn the part-time worker about this in writing two weeks before terminating the employment contract. The employment relationship ends either at the end of the agreed period or ahead of schedule, about which either party must notify the other in writing no later than 3 working days. If a position is reduced, the employer is obliged to notify the employee 2 months in advance, offer him other suitable positions, and pay severance pay.	If a vacant position for which the duties were performed in combination is eliminated, no guarantees or compensation are provided to the employee who performed these duties.

Is there a probationary period?

The management of the organization can assign a probationary period for an external part-time worker to check his professional qualities (Article 70 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation).

Reference! The duration of this period is established by management (prescribed in the employment contract), but if the part-time job is signed for a period not exceeding two months, then the probationary period is illegal.
