Description of basic concepts
A shift work schedule is an order in which some workers are replaced by others to perform the same types of work. Moreover, each citizen works on a certain day of the week.
For example, there are two employees, and the schedule is two days after two. For one employee you can set the following as workers:
- For one week, Monday, Tuesday, Friday and Saturday.
- For the second week, Tuesday and Wednesday, Saturday, Sunday.
Such schedules are relevant if the production process at the enterprise does not tolerate long interruptions. Article 103 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation controls this mode of operation.
It is permissible to introduce two, three, or four shifts. When using this type of schedule, workers are divided into several groups at once. Each of them performs work on certain days and hours.
Payment for work on a holiday
Employees must be paid on weekends and holidays during a shift work schedule according to the law. If we talk about working on a pre-holiday day, then the shift must be reduced by an hour. But payment for this day is carried out as for a full work shift.
Note: if the production process does not allow reducing the number of hours, then additional processing must be compensated. This could be a financial reward for extra work or an extra day off.
If a subordinate works on a holiday, payment largely depends on the nature of his work. Holidays are usually paid as follows:
- Piece workers receive remuneration at double rates.
- Persons receiving money at tariff rates also have their rates doubled.
- If a subordinate receives a salary, then for a holiday he is entitled to payment of double earnings for the day.
It turns out that going to work on a holiday should be paid twice and not less. The manager has the right to set his own payment rates, but it cannot be less than double the rate. For working on holidays, an employee who is on shift cannot receive his standard pay and an additional day of rest. This is only possible if recycling has been established.
Let's say an employee A.P. Krivtsov works in shifts. Pay for shift work is 80 rubles per hour, and the duration of a regular shift is 10 hours. In January he worked 2 holidays. The calculation is carried out as follows: 80 * 20 * 2 = 3, 200 rubles. This is exactly how much Krivtsov will receive for his work during the holidays.
Work on weekends with a shift schedule is paid as standard, without an increasing factor.
Payment for holidays during a shift work schedule
Article 153 of the Labor Code states that holiday work shifts require a minimum of double pay. The calculation is carried out taking into account not the entire shift, but the hours that were actually spent performing duties at that moment. There are often shifts that move from one day to the next.
One scheme is used with standard salaries. Then you first need to calculate the average cost of labor for one day. Then the result is multiplied by 2.
General rules for paying holiday pay during shift work
Official holidays are enshrined in Article 112 of the Labor Code of Russia. Plus, regional authorities have the right to approve additional holiday dates.
Article 153 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation guarantees workers increased pay for work on weekends, non-working days and holidays. If your employer brought you to work on Sunday, January 1 or March 8, then by law you are entitled to payment of at least double the amount.
The rules apply to employees on five-day and six-day work weeks. What about employees who work shifts? Often their working hours fall on a weekend or even a holiday.
The Labor Code makes no exceptions: payment for holidays during a shift schedule is guaranteed at an increased rate. The employer is obliged to pay at least twice the tariff rate. Management has the right to set additional payments in a larger amount; it all depends on the economic capabilities of the organization. Less - it cannot, but more - it can.
The norms for increased pay on holidays during a shift schedule must be fixed by local regulations: regulations on wages, a collective or employment agreement. Find out the amount of the surcharge from the accounting department or the human resources department at your place of work.
Examples of calculations using the two-by-two scheme
Let's look at one example that helps you understand how to pay for holidays, even if they are only part of the schedule.
There is a schedule according to which a subordinate works 12 hours for 16 days. Of the total, two holidays stand out. The rate for one hour of work is 150 rubles.
Two days with 12 hours of work are paid using the double tariff. We multiply 150 by 24 and multiply by 2. The result is 7200.
The rest have 14 days of 12 hours - standard single size. We simply multiply 14, 12 and 150. We get 25,200 rubles.
In total for May, the employee receives a salary consisting of two figures received earlier. The entire amount is issued in person minus income tax at a rate of 13%.

A few words about the sliding schedule
Before moving on to the question of how holidays are paid, it is worth mentioning what a rolling schedule is. Article 103 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation states that a rolling schedule is usually understood as working several days or nights in a row (from 2 to 4). A sliding work schedule is appropriate in several options for organizing the work process:
- The production cycle period is longer than the duration of one work shift.
- For more productive use of technical capacities.
- To increase the production of goods or the provision of services.
When a person works on a rotating schedule, night work is paid at an increased rate. In addition, the shift at night becomes 1 hour shorter. It is also possible to reschedule a work shift if the employee can find a replacement.
Rules for increasing the cost of work
Such increases are permissible for employees representing one of the following categories:
- When using the piecework payment option. That is, when the determining factor is the actual quantity of services and goods produced.
- With daily or hourly rates.
- Workers who receive a standard salary.
If an enterprise’s internal documents indicate a smaller amount of payment for holidays than usual, this is a direct violation of current legal requirements. Such decisions are easy to appeal when going to court.
In this case, an employee can choose to receive additional rest if he not only works on weekends and holidays, but also exceeds the established standards for labor results.
Calculation formulas
To calculate the additional payment for a holiday, you need to decide what wage system exists at the enterprise (hourly, daily or salary).
The calculation rules are regulated by Article 153 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation.
Hourly rate calculation
The following formula applies:
Rate per hour x 2 x number of hours worked on a holiday
Calculation at daily rate
In this case, the formula will be as follows:
Daily rate x 2
Calculation based on monthly salary
If there was no overtime of the standard time per month, then the additional payment to the salary is equal to the daily or hourly rate, which are calculated as follows:
- Rate per day = salary: number of days in a month (working)
- Rate per hour = salary: number of hours per month (working)
If there was overtime according to the standard time for the month, then the additional payment for holidays is calculated as follows:
Daily rate x 2
or
Rate per hour x 2 x number of hours worked
If the shift falls on a holiday night, then double payment is made (for holiday hours and for the night shift).
These values are calculated separately and added together.
To calculate the time worked on a holiday night (from 22.00 to 6.00), one must also take into account the fact that the night shift should be reduced by 1 hour without further work.
When double pay is replaced by rest
In some situations, subordinates have the right to demand time off instead of double remuneration for holidays worked. The decision in each case is individual and depends on how much time has actually been worked up to the present moment.
Such demands cannot be made only by those who usually work overtime. The same applies to the use of a shift schedule.
Night hours
Well, it’s clear how work is paid during a shift work schedule on holidays. Finally, I would like to pay attention to the notorious night hours. To do this, you need to refer to Article 96 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation. So it is said that the night period is considered to be the time from 22:00 to 06:00. And people working during this period, in theory, work in conditions that differ from normal ones.
Night work is paid by the hour. And the amount is prescribed by the head in the local regulatory act. Therefore, when signing a contract before applying for a job, it is necessary to discuss this point separately.
Well, that's all the information you need to know about pay for shift work. The main principle here lies in the total calculation of time worked. And this is the main thing to remember.
Pay on a calendar day off (Saturday or Sunday)
Work on Saturday and Sunday cannot be equated to work on a day off by a person working on a shift schedule. For him, days off are determined solely taking into account shifts.
Work schedules are approved once at the end of the year and immediately for the entire next year.
Employees must be familiar with them by signature.
When a person working according to such a schedule goes out to work on Saturday and Sunday, he is paid in a single amount. Only holidays that are approved national holidays are subject to double payment.
Example
Initial data:
If a person works a five-day shift (from Monday to Friday inclusive), then for the day off (for Saturday and Sunday) he must be paid double the salary or given time off.
However, this rule does not apply to employees working on approved shift schedules, because their days off are “floating”. Let's look at an example of how wages are calculated on a shift schedule when working hours fall on calendar weekends: Saturday and Sunday.
Calculation:
Let’s say an employee in April 2021 works according to the schedule during the day:
16 * 8 * 130 = 16640 rubles. From the presented graph you can see that in a month a person worked only five days (eight hours each) on Saturday and Sunday.
The hourly rate for an employee is 130 rubles. Since such days on a shift work schedule are not subject to double payment, salary calculation is based on the product of the number of days, the number of hours and the tariff rate per hour:
Also, when paying salaries, the accountant will withhold income tax in the amount of thirteen percent.
Payment for night hours in case of shift work schedule
According to Article 96 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation, night time is the period from 10 pm to 6 am. Night work requires increased pay compared to normal conditions.
The minimum increasing coefficient is provided by the Government of the Russian Federation - 20%. Its compliance is mandatory for all employers.
It is important to note that, by agreement with the employer, provisions on an increased amount of compensation may be included in the TD or local regulatory legal acts.

On weekends and holidays
The rest days established by the Labor Code of the Russian Federation do not always become such for employees with a sliding schedule. Labor Code of the Russian Federation in Art. 113 does not allow work on such days, but there are exceptions:
- the enterprise cannot interrupt the work process due to production needs;
- types of work related to serving people have been established (established by a list, for example, doctors, transport workers);
- there is an employee’s consent to be hired on a day off;
- it is necessary to prevent or eliminate the consequences of emergency situations.
Thus, an employee whose working day falls on a public holiday works it off. In this case, a person can use one of the compensation options:
- payment for the day is no less than double;
- use of an additional day of rest.
