Industrial. Russia: Production calendar (2018). Clarifications on working time standards

Exceeding the working time standard for 2018 will lead to problems with the labor inspectorate. In 2018 maximum amount working hours per week is equal to 40. Calculation of the standard working time for a month, quarter or year creates a production calendar, which in turn will help the enterprise to properly organize work and rest time.

We will tell you about working days and holidays in 2018, show an example of calculating working time norms, and present ready-made tables with working time norms for a month, quarter and year.

Calendar of working days, holidays and weekends for 2018

Please note that the blue frame indicates the holidays.

We remind you that on the day before the holiday work time reduced by 1 hour. In 2018, some pre-holiday days fall on Saturday. The fact is that, according to the Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation, weekends and holidays were postponed, which is why several Saturdays turned out to be working days.

Let's figure out what has been moved where.

Official holidays in 2017 (Article 112 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation):

from January 1 to January 6, as well as January 8 – New Year holidays;
January 7 – Christmas;
February 23 – Defender of the Fatherland Day;
March 8 – International Women's Day;
May 1 – Spring and Labor Festival;
May 9 – Victory Day;
June 12 – Russia Day;
November 4 is National Unity Day.

As can be seen from the calendar, some holidays fall either on weekends or on days close to weekends, and in order to streamline the continuity of working days and weekends, the Government of the Russian Federation issued a resolution dated October 14, 2017 N 1250 on the postponement of several weekends. Thus the images in 2018:

Saturday 6 January is moved to Friday 9 March;
Sunday January 7 to Wednesday May 2;
Saturday 28 April to Monday 30 April;
Saturday 9 June to Monday 11 June;
Saturday 29 December is moved to Monday 31 December.

Taking into account all the transfers, we get the following picture:

New Year and Christmas holidays will last 10 days - from December 30, 2017 to January 8, 2018;
February holidays will last 3 days - from February 23 to 25, 2018;
in March we celebrate 4 days - from March 8 to 11;
for May holidays 4 days - from April 29 to May 2, and 1 day - May 9;
Russia Day will have 3 days - from June 10 to 12;
November holidays also last for 3 days - from November 3 to 5.

In total in 2018 there will be:

How to calculate standard working hours in 2018

In 2018, the rules for calculating working hours will remain the same. The calculation should be guided by the Labor Code of the Russian Federation, the order of the Ministry of Health and Social Development of the Russian Federation No. 588n dated August 13, 2009. and Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation No. 1250 of October 14, 2017, dedicated to how holidays will be postponed in the country in 2018.

The time period for which the standard working time is calculated is a year, a quarter and a month.

Let's look at the formulas by which working time standards are calculated.

Example 1. Let's calculate the standard working hours for February 2018 with a standard forty-hour working week. There are 19 working days in February 2018. Moreover, Thursday February 22 is a pre-holiday day, when working hours are reduced by 1 hour.

Standard working hours: 40: 5 * 19 – 1 = 151

For a quarter, the standard working time is calculated using the same formula, only it must be multiplied by the number of working hours in the quarter. And the reduction of working hours on holidays should also be taken into account for the quarter.

Example 2. We calculate the standard working hours for the 1st quarter of 2018 for a forty-hour work week.

Number of working days in the 1st quarter – 56;
The number of hours by which pre-holiday days were shortened is 2 (by 1 hour on February 22 and by 1 hour on March 7).

Standard working hours: 40: 5 * 56 – 2 = 446 hours

The calculations are carried out similarly for the entire year 2018; annual data is simply supplied.

Number of working days per year – 247;
The number of pre-holiday days is 6, which means that working hours for the year will be reduced by a total of 6 hours.

Standard working hours: 40: 5 * 247 – 6 = 1970 hours

Important! If the company’s employees have a flexible schedule, or the specifics of their work include working on holidays, then there is no need to reschedule days off that fall on holidays, as prescribed by the Labor Code.

To clear up your task, below we provide a table with the calculated working hours for 2018

How to calculate standard working hours in 2018 with a six-day working week

For organizations with a five-day and six-day work week, the calculation process is the same.

Attention! Companies with a six-day working week calculate the standard working hours in 2018 on a five-day basis.

However, if you multiply working days by working hours, the resulting number of working hours per month with a six-day week may not correspond to the number of working hours per month with a five-day week.

For example: Let's take October 2018. The standard working time this month for a five-day week is set at 184 hours.

And what happens with a six-day workday: (23 weekdays * 7 working hours) + (4 Saturdays * 5 working hours) = 181 hours.

What to do with discrepancies? You don't need to do anything with them. This is just a purely arithmetic discrepancy. According to Article 129, Article 99 and Article 91 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation, where the concepts of salary and overtime work are spelled out, these discrepancies cannot in any way affect the employee’s salary. But the accountant of a company with a six-day schedule must keep accurate data.

The production calendar for 2018 shows the standard working hours for months, quarters and 2018 as a whole for 40-, 36- and 24-hour work weeks, as well as the number of working days and days off for a five-day work week with two days off.

According to Article 112 Labor Code Russian Federation(hereinafter referred to as the Labor Code of the Russian Federation) (as amended by Federal Law No. 35-FZ dated April 23, 2012) non-working holidays in the Russian Federation are:

January 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 8 — New Year holidays;
January 7—Christmas Day;
February 23 - Defender of the Fatherland Day;
March 8—International Women's Day;
May 1 - Spring and Labor Day;
May 9 - Victory Day;
June 12—Russia Day;
November 4 is National Unity Day.

The Labor Code of the Russian Federation establishes that if a day off coincides with a non-working holiday, the day off is transferred to the next working day after the holiday. Thus, in 2018, weekends are postponed:

from Sunday 4 November to Monday 5 November.

The exception is weekends that coincide with non-working holidays in January. In accordance with Art. 112 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation The Government of the Russian Federation has the right to transfer two days off from the number of days off that coincide with non-working January holidays to other days in the next calendar year. In addition, part 5 of this article allows the Government of the Russian Federation to transfer weekends to other days in order to rationally use weekends and other non-working days.

Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation dated October 14, 2017 No. 1250 provides for the transfer of days off in 2018:

from Saturday 6 January for Friday March 9;
from Sunday, January 7 to Wednesday, May 2;
from Saturday 28 April to Monday 30 April;
from Saturday June 9 to Monday June 11;
from Saturday 29 December to Monday 31 December.

In accordance with the “Procedure for calculating the norm of working time for certain calendar periods of time (month, quarter, year) depending on the established duration of working time per week,” approved by order of the Ministry of Health and Social Development of Russia dated August 13, 2009 No. 588n, this norm is calculated according to the five-day calculated schedule working week with two days off on Saturday and Sunday, based on the duration of daily work (shift):

with a 40-hour work week - 8 hours;
with a 36-hour work week - 7.2 hours;
with a 24-hour work week - 4.8 hours.

The length of the working day or shift immediately preceding a non-working holiday is reduced by one hour. Moreover, if a day off is moved to such a working day, then that day off, which becomes a working day, is reduced by 1 hour. In 2018, working hours are reduced by one hour on the following days:

February 22;
March 7;
April 28;
May 8;
the 9th of June;
December 29th.

The standard working time calculated in the specified order applies to all modes of work and rest.

An example of calculating the standard working time in December 2018 with a five-day work week with two days off (initial data: 21 working days, on December 29 the working day was reduced by 1 hour):

calculation for a 40-hour work week:
(8 hours x 21 days) - 1 hour = 167 hours;
(7.2 hours x 21 days) - 1 hour = 150.2 hours;
(4.8 hours x 21 days) - 1 hour = 99.8 hours.

In 2018, 247 working days, including 6 working days reduced by one hour. Calculation of standard working hours for 2018 with a five-day work week with two days off:

with a 40-hour work week:
(8 hours x 247 days - 6 hours) = 1970 hours;
with a 36-hour work week:
(7.2 hours x 247 days - 6 hours) = 1772.4 hours;
with a 24-hour work week:
(4.8 hours x 247 days - 6 hours) = 1179.6 hours.

Production calendar Russia for 2018 contains information about how many working days there are in the year, how Russians relax, how many days the New Year holidays and May holidays last, as well as the transfer of weekends and non-working holidays. It provides working time standards for months, quarters, half-years and for the whole year for a 40-, 36- and 24-hour five-day working week.
