Work schedule with a 6 day work week. Six-day work week: features of work

The production calendar for a five-day and six-day working week differs not only in the number of working days. Holidays that fall on weekends are counted differently. Read how the 2018 production calendar is compiled with a six-day work week, how many working days and days off are compared to a five-day week. We also showed by example how regional holidays change the production calendar.

Six-day production calendar for 2018

A production calendar is needed not only for scheduling work. It is used to distribute working time standards and calculate vacation and travel allowances.

The usual weekends are joined by holidays, of which there are quite a few on the Russian calendar. If a holiday falls on Saturday or Sunday, the rest period increases. In a five-day and a six-day work week, holidays are counted differently.

Holidays are taken into account on the basis of two regulations:

• Labor Code of the Russian Federation (Article 112),
• Government Decree (approved annually).

In the constituent entities of the Russian Federation, authorities may adopt regional regulations establishing additional days off. We will talk about this below.

Article 112 of the Labor Code lists non-working holidays. This list is fixed and does not change:

If a holiday falls on a Saturday or Sunday, the holiday is moved to a working day. The transfer is carried out by Government Decree. In 2018, holidays are postponed by Decree No. 1250 dated October 14, 2017:

By this Resolution in 2018, during the five-day period, holidays are postponed as follows:

• Saturday 6 January has been moved to Friday 9 March
• Sunday 7 January has been moved to Wednesday 2 May.

Another 3 days were swapped, after which Saturdays were made working days, and Mondays were days off:

• Saturday 28 April and Monday 30 April
• Saturday 9 June and Monday 11 June
• Saturday 29 December and Monday 31 December.

For those who work six days, the working days will remain March 9, April 30, June 11, and December 31. Saturdays coinciding with holidays are transferred to these dates. And with a six-day week, Saturday is not a day off.

Let's show the difference with an example. Weekends for Spring and Labor Day are as follows:

Before holidays, the duration of the last working day is reduced by 1 hour. For six-day workers in 2018, the shortened days will be February 22, March 7, April 30, May 8, November 3, December 31.

We have compiled an all-Russian six-day production calendar for 2018, taking into account all holidays:

The production calendar for a six-day working week for 2019 is an important document for accountants and HR specialists. The calendar will help you avoid mistakes when calculating wages, sick leave, and vacations, as well as correctly plan your vacation schedule and the schedule for submitting financial statements. After all, in 2019 there are many transfers.

Production calendar with a six-day working week for 2019

Some companies set a six-day work week for their employees with one day off - Sunday. Article 100 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation allows them to do this. At the same time, the standard working day for a six-day work week, as well as for a five-day work week, cannot exceed 40 hours per week (Article 91 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation).

According to Article 112 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation, non-working holidays in the Russian Federation:

• January 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 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 Day;
• May 9 – Victory Day;
• June 12 – Russia Day;
• November 4 is National Unity Day.

Important! The company may be fined for taking employee leave

Now it is not always possible to plan vacations in a way that is convenient for the employee and the company. A new case has emerged in which an employer will be fined 50 thousand rubles for incorrect vacation days.

Working calendar with a 6-day working week: how to determine the standard working time for 2019

The standard working time for a six-day work week is calculated similarly to the calculated schedule of a five-day work week with two days off (Saturday and Sunday), based on the duration of the daily work shift.

Please note that the duration of a pre-holiday working day or shift must be reduced by one hour (Part 1 of Article 95 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation). With a six-day working week on the eve of the weekend, the duration of work cannot exceed 5 hours (Part 3 of Article 95 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation).

Shortened days in the production calendar with a 6-day work week for 2019 - 6 days: February 22, March 7, April 30, May 8, June 11, December 31.

The number of calendar days, weekends and holidays in the production calendar during a six-day period for 2019

Reforming the education system affects almost all aspects of the lives of teachers and students, from the format of passing the Unified State Exam to the schedule according to which certain educational institutions operate. It's no secret that in Russia. As in many other countries, there are schools that operate on a 5-day schedule and schools that require attendance 6 days a week.

To be or not to be a six-day period? Psychologists, teachers and scientists have been working on this issue for many years, but this topic is even more actively discussed in parent circles. Let's face it, not all parents like the prospect of getting up early on their legal day off to get their child ready for school, and even the need to adjust their personal plans taking into account the work of the educational institution.

So what awaits us regarding the five-day school year 2018-2019? Let's figure it out.

Will the six-day week be canceled in the near future?

It is known that there are several petitions that have collected a large number of signatures asking for a revision of the 6-day school schedule. But even in the 2019 academic year, the work schedule of each individual school, whether it will be five days or six days, will be decided directly by the management of the educational institution.

It seems to many that the ministry simply stubbornly refuses to satisfy the demands of parents who have come out to fight for an additional day off for schoolchildren.

But is it? Is it really possible to take one order and cancel working Saturdays for children and teachers forever? To understand the complexity of this problem, persistent parents would do well to study the legislation and curriculum better.

Why does the six-day period exist?

The need to use Saturday in most cases is dictated by the fact that even with a great desire it is impossible to distribute educational subjects for students in grades 6-11 over 5 school days, if we take into account all the existing coefficients and sanitary requirements for the subjects.

Without delving into the intricacies of drawing up a schedule for a large educational institution, I will give the following standards as an example:

• mathematics, physics, languages ​​and some other disciplines should not be assigned to the first and last lessons;
• objects on which the child’s perseverance is especially important should not be placed after physical education;
• Schoolchildren cannot be overloaded on one day (there are certain coefficients, the table of which is used by head teachers when drawing up schedules);
• Subject teachers should not read more than 3 lessons in a row (this norm, of course, is often violated in our country);
• subjects studied more than once a week should be placed at a certain interval.

This is only a small fraction of the existing restrictions. Add to this the division of classes into 2 (and sometimes 3-4) subgroups and you get an unsolvable problem. And this is not an exaggeration. Most automated scheduling services will really fail and ask which of the “important ministerial rules” can be ignored.

Pros of a six-day school week

• properly distributed teaching load;
• fewer lessons per day;
• less homework, day after day;
• more opportunities for children to attend clubs and sections;
• the opportunity to start the working day a little later than 5-day schools.

Disadvantages of a six-day week

• a persistent negative attitude towards learning on the Sabbath;
• absenteeism from classes without good reason and often with the knowledge of parents;
• conflict with the beliefs of some religions, where working and even studying on the Sabbath is considered unacceptable;
• Holidays that fall on Saturday are not postponed, as for organizations with a five-day work week.

Myths about the six-day week

Is the 6th working day so terrible for a schoolchild?

In fact, not everything is so sad. The vast majority of educational institutions adhere to the following rules:

The right to choose

This problem is not typical for all schools. As a rule, it does not fit into the five-day schedule in gymnasiums, lyceums and specialized schools with in-depth study of certain subjects.

As a result, parents have to choose between the following options:

• A regular comprehensive school, in which the child will study for 5 days, but study all subjects at the “standard” level;
• A specialized school or gymnasium with a 5-day period, where the child will have to sit through 8 lessons every day (and accordingly prepare homework);
• An educational institution with in-depth study of certain subjects, in which the child will have 6-7 lessons a day, but 6 days a week.

You can and should find out what schedule awaits your child in the future at the stage of choosing a school. If high-quality competitive education is a priority, then the problem of working Saturday is not as pressing as the quality of the teaching staff and the conditions in which the child will study.

Of course, a new question arises - is it possible, by adding hours for specialized subjects in specialized schools, to reduce the hours for disciplines that children who have decided on a profile will definitely not need? But this is a completely different topic that requires a revision of the list of subjects in the variable and invariable components of domestic education.

This year, Russians will have eight days off during the May holidays. However, such a schedule is provided only for employees of organizations working a five-day week.

Rest during the May holidays 2020 with a six-day working week includes only five days off. Let's talk about this in more detail.

The project for postponing holidays and weekends in 2020 has been approved, so you can already plan your vacation this month.

How much rest do you have during the May holidays in a 6-day work week?

The first of May falls on a Friday this year. Then, with a six-day week, we have one working day on Saturday, May 2, then Sunday, May 3, after that, working Monday, May 4, and then a day off on Tuesday, May 5, moved from the holiday Sunday, January 5.

Rest days on May holidays 2020 with a six-day work week for employees of organizations working on such a schedule (as well as schoolchildren and students of higher educational institutions) do not include working Saturdays.

Consequently, Saturday May 2 and the day of rest on Monday May 4, which was moved from the New Year's holiday Saturday on January 4, in this case will not be days off.

How long will they have a total vacation for the May holidays 2020 with a 6-day working week? The next day off will be three working days later on May 9, which falls on a Saturday. The Victory Day weekend will continue on Sunday, May 10, but there will be no transfer of the day off from Saturday, May 9, to Monday, May 11, given the six-day period.

Thus, with a six-day workweek schedule, we will rest for a total of five full days on the May holidays.

According to current legislation, the duration of work on the eve of holidays under this regime cannot exceed five hours. In 2020, with a six-day period, the pre-holiday shortened days will be Thursday, April 30 and Friday, May 8.

So, let’s list the rest days for the May holidays in 2020 for a six-day work week: these are May 1, 3, 5, 9 and 10.

However, those who work on a duty schedule will need to work on holidays (this category includes firefighters, some medical workers, security guards, employees of the Ministry of Emergency Situations and other organizations).

Now you know how people relax on the May holidays with a 6-day work week in 2020, and you can plan the upcoming days of rest at your own discretion.

On Monday, May 11, a new working week will begin and there will be no holidays until the end of the month. In total, in May we will have two holidays, six days off and 23 working days (with a six-day week).

Question 46. Basic standards of working time

The main working time standards are the working week and daily work (shift).
A working week is the number of working hours established by law or an employment contract during a calendar week.
The normal length of the working week cannot exceed 40 hours (Article 91 of the Labor Code). Thus, 40 hours a week is recognized as the maximum working time for all employees under an employment contract.
There are two types of working week - a 5-day with two days off and a 6-day with one day off, which is preserved in those organizations where, due to the nature and working conditions, the introduction of a five-day work week is impossible or impractical. The six-day working week has been retained in many educational institutions, where the transition to a 5-day working week is impossible due to the existence of maximum permissible physiological norms for students’ academic workload. Some government agencies, service enterprises, etc. operate on a 6-day work week.
The duration of daily work (shift) is set by the employer based on the weekly working hours. With a normal working week (40 hours), it is usually: for a 5-day work week - 8 hours, for a 6-day work week - 7 hours, on a day before a day off - 5 hours.
The length of the working day or shift immediately preceding a non-working holiday is reduced by 1 hour. In continuously operating organizations and in certain types of work, where it is impossible to reduce the hours of work (shift) on a pre-holiday day, overtime is compensated by providing the employee with additional rest time or, with the consent of the employee, payment according to the standards established for overtime work (Article 95 of the Labor Code).
When working in shifts (2,3 or 4 shifts), the duration of the shift can be different - 10, 12, 14, 24 hours in accordance with the shift schedule, which is established by the employer taking into account the opinion of the elected trade union body, depending on the conditions and nature of the work.
For workers in need of special social protection, as well as for those working in harmful and dangerous working conditions, the law limits the maximum duration of daily work (shift) - Art. 94 TK. It cannot exceed:
- for workers aged 15 to 16 years - 5 hours; from 16 to 18 years old - 7 hours;
- for students of general education institutions, educational institutions of primary and secondary vocational education, combining study with work during the academic year, from 14 to 16 years old - 2.5 hours, from 16 to 18 years old - 4 hours;
- for disabled people - in accordance with a medical report;
- for workers engaged in work with harmful and (or) dangerous working conditions, where reduced working hours are established:
- with a 36-hour work week - 8 hours;
- with a 30-hour work week or less - 6 hours.
