Coming soon International Women's Day. He is included among non-working holidays, transfers and rules for how we work on holidays on March 8 have been established Labor Code and a special decree that the government issues annually. For a five- and six-day week, the schedules are different.

Who makes the rules

All non-working holidays are fixed in Art. 112 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation. Separately, how we work on March 8 is not indicated in the Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation No. 875 dated July 10, 2019, relevant for 2020. But on the basis of this standard, it was drawn up, which fixed the mode of operation for the March pre-holiday period.

How we work on the eve of March 8

The Labor Code established the following rule: a working day on the eve public holiday is reduced by one hour (part 1 of article 85 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation). According to this rule, we will find out if the Friday before March 8 is shortened: no, it is 06.03, which means that between the last labor and holiday dates There is one more day off - Saturday, 07.03. Therefore, there are no reductions on Friday 06.03 for employees, we work full time.

But whether they will give a salary before March 8 depends on the payment schedule established by the institution. For example, if the transfer is made before the 10th or even the 15th, employees will receive wages after the official holiday. If the payout period is from the 1st to the 8th inclusive, expect a reward before the weekend.

How to work 5 days a week

Those who have a five-day work week expect two regular weekends and one rescheduled public holiday. Here is how we work on holidays 08.03 with a five-day week:

  • 06.03 - regular labor Friday;
  • 07.03 - closed Saturday;
  • 08.03 - International Women's Day, falling on Sunday;
  • 09.03 - Monday, day off due to the transfer;
  • 10.03 - working Tuesday.

How to work 6 days a week

The six-day week is different. Pre-holiday Saturday is shortened by one hour, and on 09.03 employees officially have a rest. Here is the current work schedule on March 8, 2020 for the six-day period:

  • 06.03 - we work on Friday as usual;
  • 07.03 - on the pre-holiday Saturday we work an hour less;
  • 08.03 - rest on Sunday;
  • 09.03 - we continue to rest on Monday (postponement of the holiday);
  • 11.03 - start work duties on Tuesday.

With a six-day work period, the duration of work before the weekend does not exceed five hours (Article 95 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation). This means that working time on Saturday, March 7, for such employees will actually be reduced by 2 hours - up to 4 hours.

If according to the schedule 08.03.2020 you have to go to work

What to do in this situation, whether this day is postponed or not, if the operating mode of the enterprise falls on March 8, 2020: if according to the schedule (or shift) it is necessary to work on March 08, you will have to work on this date without transfers. But the employer pays for work on holidays at an increased rate.

If an employee works on a day off (holiday), including on a shift schedule, an additional payment is determined for him in accordance with Art. 153 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation. Here is how March 8 is paid to those who worked on this day:

  • in accordance with the double piece rate for pieceworkers;
  • at a double daily (hourly) rate for employees at the tariff rate;
  • not less than a single daily or hourly rate per day or hour labor activity in excess of the salary according to the position, if the employee worked according to the monthly norm of working hours;
  • not less than a double daily or hourly rate for a day or hour of labor activity in excess of the salary according to the position, if the employee worked above the monthly norm of working time.

The amount of payment for work on weekends and holidays is established by a collective, labor agreement, local act.

In a higher amount, the actual time worked on a weekend or holiday (from 0 to 24 hours) is paid. The same algorithm is applicable if part of the shift falls on such a date.

The employee has the right, at his request, to receive another day for rest: in this case, work on this date is paid in a single amount. The day on which the rest takes place is not paid.

Before telling how we work on the holidays in March, it is necessary to find out how this year the transfer of days off is carried out. The current Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation of July 10, 2019 No. 875 prescribes to change the work schedule in 2020 as follows:

  • from Saturday 04.01 to Monday 04.05;
  • from Sunday 05.01 to Tuesday 05.05.

Officials did not separately stipulate how we work in March by government decree, since, on the basis of Art. 112 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation, if a holiday falls on Saturday or Sunday, the next business day automatically becomes a day off. 03/08/2020 falls on a Sunday, so the work schedule automatically changes, taking into account that Monday 09/03 is a day off.

Another point that should be sorted out: is the Friday before March 8 shortened for working citizens. Let us turn again to the Labor Code of the Russian Federation, article 95. It states that the day immediately preceding the holiday is shortened by an hour. This year, the International Women's Day falls on Sunday, so Friday is not a short day, but the most ordinary one, and you will have to work according to the schedule from 8.00 to 17.00 (from 9.00 to 18.00).

But Friday 03/06/2020 may still become shortened or even completely non-working if such a decision is made by the company's management: the basis for the day off is chosen at their own discretion, for example, to prepare for the International women's holiday. But keep in mind: if only the female part of the team is released, the male part may be offended, considering the decision discriminatory. In addition, please note: this day is payable in full.

How we work with a five-day and six-day work

In our country, since 1966, March 8 has been established as official holiday. It's a holiday, no matter what day of the week it falls on. But workers working on a five-day and a six-day week have different schedules, and you should figure out how long we work with different schedules.

At five days

The simplest thing is to understand how we work on the holidays of March 8 with a five-day week. From , 08.03 and 09.03 - non-working days, and from the 10th everyone goes to work. If the authorities allowed, 03/06/2020 is reduced. Leaving without the knowledge of management is fraught with unpleasant consequences.

With a six-day

We figured out the five-day period, let's decide how March 8 is transferred for six-day workers, taking into account that workers in this category have only one day off - Sunday, and it falls on a holiday. According to Art. 95 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation, the working day immediately preceding the holiday is reduced by 1 hour. In addition, the duration of the working day on the eve of the weekend, according to the rules of Article 95 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation, for six-day workers should not exceed five hours. In this regard, Saturday 07.03 for persons working six days a week is actually reduced by two hours, and they have only four hours to work. As for the question, is it a working day or not on Monday, March 9, there are no exceptions here, and on 09.03 six-day workers have a rest.

How do we work with a shift schedule?

The reality is that not all working citizens will be able to rest for several days on the occasion of the March holidays: if the operating mode of the enterprise falls on March 8, 2020, then you will have to work a full shift from bell to bell. The situation concerns employees of enterprises who do not have the opportunity to stop production either on weekends or on holidays. But this does not contradict the law, the question of whether it is legal to work on March 8 is not worth it, provided that workers are provided with compensation in accordance with.

In Art. 153 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation clearly stipulates how weekend work is paid, including how work is paid on March 8, 2020, which fell on Sunday. In a situation where the shift cannot be canceled and the pre-holiday day shortened, “overtime is compensated by providing the employee with additional rest time or, with the consent of the employee, double payment according to the norms established for overtime work” (Article 95 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation).

Will they give money before the holiday

The law requires paying salaries twice a month: the full amount - from the 1st to the 15th of the next month, the advance payment - from the 16th to the 31st of the current month. If the payment day falls on a Saturday or Sunday, the money is transferred on Friday. The payment schedule is determined by the employer independently in the LNA, and it will only be possible to say for sure whether the salary will be given before March 8 only if you know the rules approved by the company.

On the eve of the International women's day Many readers of Altaiskaya Pravda are concerned about the question of how we will rest on March 8 and whether the working day is reduced on March 7, 2018.

How to relax on March 8, 2018

This year the holiday fell on a Thursday. International Women's Day is an official holiday. Also with new year holidays The holiday was moved to March.

As a result, according to the production calendar 2018 with holidays and weekends, approved by a decree of the government of the Russian Federation, we have a rest on International Women's Day from March 8 to March 11. This applies to people working and studying on a five-day schedule.

Is the working day shortened March 7, 2018

March 7 falls on a Wednesday, which is a pre-holiday day. Therefore, the working day will be shortened by an hour. Also traditionally on this day, enterprises congratulate all women on the holiday.

March 8: the history of the holiday

The official status of "International Women's Day" this holiday acquired by decision of the UN in 1975. In Russia, Azerbaijan, Armenia, Belarus and Ukraine, this day is national holiday. It is believed that its history dates back to 1910, when the 2nd International Conference of Working Women took place in Copenhagen. The leader of the women's group of the Social Democratic Party of Germany, Clara Zetkin, proposed to celebrate Women's Day in every country on the same day.

What to give on March 8

The main thing is to give your attention and love. And flowers and gifts are just an addition to your feelings.
