According to Art. 112 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation, if a public holiday falls on a day off, then the next working day after the holiday is also a day off. The government can make changes to the production calendar, making the transfer of non-working holidays and weekends to other days. So, the draft resolution of the Government of the Russian Federation "On the transfer of days off in 2015" provides for the following transfers:

• from Saturday 3 January 2015 to Friday 9 January 2015;
• from Sunday 4 January 2015 to Monday 4 May 2015

Compliance with regulations labor law the controlling authorities are watching very carefully. This primarily concerns the regulation of labor time. This indicator is scrupulously set by the government separately for each calendar year. At the same time, production calendars are drawn up and, depending on the number of planned and worked hours, payroll varies.

In 2015, the rules for calculating working hours underwent minor changes regarding the work schedule on the eve of holidays, the transfer of weekends, etc.

General provisions on the norms of working hours

The periods of work and rest of employees are established:

• the legislation of the Russian Federation;
• production calendar;
• local acts of the enterprise.

The current production calendar contains background information on labor standards for 2015 as a whole, each quarter and month separately for 40-, 36- and 24-hour working weeks. It also provides a calculation of the number of workers and days off for a five-day work week with two days off.

It must be remembered that in addition to the usual duration of labor, which, according to Art. 91 of the Labor Code is 40 hours, in certain cases, guided by Art. 92 of the Labor Code, the employer is obliged to establish an abbreviated one for:

• certain types of teaching and medical staff;
• employees employed, in fact, in jobs with so-called dangerous or harmful conditions;
• minors and disabled people.

If necessary, specific working hours can be applied:

• flexible (Article 102 of the Labor Code);
• irregular (Article 101 of the Labor Code);
• incomplete (Article 93 of the Labor Code);
• summarized (Article 104 of the Labor Code);
• division into parts (Article 105 of the Labor Code);
• work in shifts (Article 103 of the Labor Code).

Holidays in 2015

According to Article 112 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation, holidays in Russia are:

• 01-06 and 08.01 - New Year's holidays;
• 07.01 - Christmas;
• 02.23 - Army Day;
• 08.03 – World holiday women;
• 01.05 - First of May, in fact;
• 09.05 - as everyone knows, Victory Day;
• 06/12 - Day of the Russian Federation;
• 04.11 - National Unity Day.

The Labor Code provides for the following:

• if a day off and a public holiday fell on the same calendar date, the day off is postponed to the next working day (the rule does not apply to the January holidays);
• federal authorities may reschedule the weekend.

By order of the Government of the Russian Federation of July 27, 2014 No. 860, specific dates for such a transfer were established. By the way, with all the changes made, compliance with the provisions of Article 110 of the Labor Code on the minimum duration of continuous weekly rest at the level of 42 hours was ensured.

1. There are 16 days off and 15 working days in January. Holidays on January 3rd and 4th, falling on Saturday and Sunday, have been postponed to 09.01 (Friday) and 04.05 (Monday). Thus, the New Year holidays will last 11 days - from 01.01 to 11.01 inclusive.
2. In February, the holiday of the Defender of the Fatherland Day will stretch for 3 days (from 21.02 directly to 23.02)
3. But in March, the weekend is scheduled from 07.08 to 09.03.
4. In early May, rest will be devoted to the days from 01.04 to 04.04 and from 09.04 to 11.04 (3 days off are timed to coincide with the 70th anniversary of the Victory Day). Total amount There are 13 weekends this month.
5. In June, from 12.05 to 14.05 Russia Day will be celebrated.

Including paid vacations lasting at least 28 annually calendar days, the total number of days off in 2015 will be 146 days, or 2/5 of the year. In addition, for many categories of workers, extended leave is established. Thus, the number of days of rest in Russia is significantly greater than in many other countries.

Working time calculation rules

Order of the Ministry of Health and Social Development of the Russian Federation of 13.07.09 No. 588 established the current Procedure for calculating the standard of labor for reporting periods (year, quarter, month) based on the agreed weekly duration. This value is calculated according to the scheme of a 5-day working week with two days off, taking into account the duration of the shift or working day at:

• 40-hour week - 8 hours,
• 36 hours - 7.2 hours;
• 24 hours - 4.8 hours.

Moreover, the duration of a work shift or day on the eve of a non-working holiday is reduced by an hour. In 2015, this refers to the following dates:

• 30.04;
• 08.05;
• 11.06;
• 03.11;
• 31.12.

In institutions, when developing a work schedule, in addition to the usual monthly norm of working time, an annual, semi-annual, quarterly is also used.

In 2015, with a five-day weekend with 2 days off, there will be:

• 247 full working days, of which 5 are shortened;
• 118 weekends / holidays.

In 2015, the annual labor rate should be:

• with a 40-hour working week - 1971 hours;
• at 36 hours - 1773.4 hours;
• at 24 hours - 1180.6 hours.

Calculation of the monthly rate of labor on a specific example

Let's choose the month May 2015. If the institution has introduced a five-day period with two days off, then it is expected:

• 18 workdays, including one day reduced by 1 hour - 05/08/15;
• 13 days off.

The production rate will be at:

• A 40-hour week is 143 hours (calculated as 8 hours multiplied by 18 days and subtract 1 hour);
• 36 hours is 128.6 hours (calculated as 7.2 hours multiplied by 18 days and subtract 1 hour);
• A 24 hour is 85.4 hours (calculated as 4.8 hours multiplied by 18 days and subtract 1 hour).

Working time metrics used less frequently

For accounting purposes and the calculation of salary amounts, such an indicator as the average monthly number of hours worked is used. In 2015, it should be:

1. with a 40-hour operating mode, the indicator is 164.2 hours (we divide 1971 hours by 12 months);
2. in the case of 36 hours, it is equal to 147.8 hours (we divide 1773.4 hours by 12 months);
3. in the case of a 24-hour clock, it is 98.4 hours (1180.6 hours divided by 12 months).

At the same time, to calculate the hourly tariff rates and the organization of wages apply the annual and monthly labor standards. When forming the standards for the number of staff of the institution, it is recommended to use such an indicator as the average annual rate of labor time (another name is the average annual nominal working time fund). It is calculated as an arithmetic average of annual nominal funds for the last 5 years, taking into account the current one.

Total working hours

In some organizations, due to the specific operating conditions, the daily and even weekly working hours cannot be observed. The Labor Code of the Russian Federation for such cases permits the establishment of a summarized time recording for individual employees. There are some rules about this:

• it is impossible to implement such a system simultaneously for all employees (for example, in a taxi service, it may be justified for drivers and operators, but not suitable for an accountant, lawyer, cleaner);
• hours worked can be counted for a period of time longer than a week, however, the established limit of working hours cannot be exceeded;
• when introducing summarized accounting, an order must be issued to approve the mode and schedule of work;
• to avoid labor disputes the condition for such accounting of labor time should be prescribed in employment contract with an employee.

State and folk holidays in Russia, Ukraine and Belarus

The production calendar is an important document that is published for a whole year. Every resident of the Russian Federation is always looking forward to it, because you can plan your vacation on it. The calendar shows how many days off there will be New Year, for May and other holidays, as well as scheduled working hours.

Our article is devoted to the approved production calendar for 2015. Let's see what this calendar is and why it is needed.

What is this calendar and where is it used?

The production calendar is used in any enterprise, in any organization. The specialists of the personnel and accounting departments cannot do without it, because it is according to it that you need to draw up a work plan for the whole year. The following information is indicated in the calendar:

• the number of working days in each month and in total for the year;
• data on weekends and working days;
• pre-holiday days when the working day is shortened by an hour;
• working time norms.

For convenience, all information contained in production calendar, broken down monthly, quarterly and half-yearly. Monthly and annual working hours are especially important, since they are used for calculation of hourly tariff rates... These data must be accurate and reliable, because it is by them that the whole country is guided.

Based on this calendar, the accountant can carry out all operations, namely, calculate wages, calculate sick leave, draw up a vacation schedule for employees, form a work plan.

The HR department also uses it when accounting for working time. It is imperative to carefully check the calendar to avoid mistakes and inaccuracies when calculating salaries. And it is very useful for employees to familiarize themselves with it in order to plan their vacation and New Year's holidays. On the basis of this document, various types of reports are prepared to state bodies.

This calendar is based on the norms labor legislation, mainly on the provisions of the labor code of the Russian Federation and decrees of the government of the Russian Federation.

Who approves it and when?

The production calendar itself is not approved, it can be found on the Internet or on the Consultant + portal. But it is drawn up on the basis of legal norms - annually, by a resolution of the Government of the Russian Federation, the transfer of days off in the new year is approved... This is done in order to rationalize the use of non-working days. The resolution is adopted in the second half of this year.

As for 2015, the government took care of the postponement in advance - August 27, 2014. The project of transfers was prepared by the Russian tripartite commission for the regulation of social and labor relations. The rules for the year established by the regulation are not subject to change or revision and are final.

Also, the calendar is based on the provisions of the Labor Code, as mentioned earlier. The fundamental articles are Articles 91-93, 101-105 and 112. The latter defines non-working holidays that are permanent in the Russian Federation.

Holidays, pre-holidays and other important nuances in 2015

This is what the official calendar for 2015 looks like:




In accordance with Labor Code, holidays in 2015, and therefore weekends, will be the following dates:

• January 1-8 – new year holidays and Christmas;
• February 23- Defender of the Fatherland Day;
• March 8- International Women's Day;
• 1st of May- Spring Festival;
• 9th May- Victory Day;
• 12 June- Russia Day;
• November 4th- Day of National Unity.

By general rule, if a holiday coincides with a weekend, then it must be postponed to the day that follows the holiday, if it is a working day. The only exception to this rule is non-working January days.

The working day, followed by the holiday, is shortened by an hour. Moreover, this applies not only to those who work full-time, but also to those who work part-time or shift.

In 2015, the government postponed the following weekend dates: from January 3 to January 9, from January 4 to May 4... All transfers in mandatory take into account the legislative norm, according to which a weekly uninterrupted rest is at least 42 hours.

Thus, there are more days off in January than working days, this is the shortest working month: we have 16 days of rest, and 15 we work. New Year's holidays will be, taking into account all transfers, 11 days - January 1-11.

3 days of rest are provided in February, we celebrate men's day - from February 21-23. Women will also have a spring holiday from 7 to 9 March. In the spring, when the weather improves, it is always more pleasant to rest, so there will be long holidays - May 1-4 and May 9-11. There are 13 days of weekends in May. Day of Russia is celebrated from 12 to 14 June. In November there will be no chance to rest for several days; only one day is allotted for the celebration of the Day of National Unity.

Advice of accountants: it is preferable to take vacation in those months in which there are the most working days, then the amount of vacation pay will be greater. This year, these months will be December and July... This applies only to fixed wage workers.

It is impossible not to mention that 2015 is a very important historical date, this is also indicated in the production calendar. This year is marked by the celebration of the 70th anniversary of the Victory Day in the Great Patriotic War 1941-1945

Despite the fact that every year the transfer schedule changes or holidays fall on different dates, we rest about the same number of days from year to year.

An interesting fact - our country is the leader in the number of days off. In the coming 2015, one third of the calendar year is non-working days. Imagine 118 weekends! And this is without regard annual leave, which is usually 28 days, and for some categories of workers it is even longer due to additional days.

How to calculate the standard working hours for any month without the help of the calendar? This is done as follows: the duration of the working week - 40, 36 or 24 hours must be divided by 5, and then multiplied by the number of working days of the calculated month. From the amount received, you need to deduct the hours by which the working hours are reduced on the eve of the holidays. The annual calculation of working time is done in the same way.

Let's give an example: January is the shortest month for work. If your work week is 40 hours, then 40/5 = 8 hours. There are 15 working days in January, which means 8 * 15 = 120 hours. If a week contains 36 hours, then 36/5 = 7.2 * 15 = 108 hours.
