Each person has his own rhythm of life. Most citizens are accustomed to dividing the entire temporary space into certain cyclical intervals. The most common of the rhythms is the division of the day into weekdays and weekends. Why did this happen, and where is it recorded? Let's figure it out.
A little bit of history (but this is important)
Let's start with the origin of the word. Every time we mention weekdays, we mean those that pass as usual. But society is not uniform. For workers, weekdays are those when you need to go to work. And, for example, for a rentier? And does this concept exist for those who do not need to work? It turns out that these citizens do not need to divide their lives into segments of different quality. The point is the very concept of weekdays. It is formed from the ancient Slavic verb buditi. This word means - to wake up. But not just interrupt a dream, but specifically - “get up to work”. If you know this, then there is no doubt about what the phrase “weekdays” means. As in ancient times, and now, daily labor is associated with the need to keep oneself within strict limits, not to be lazy, to show willpower. But in fact - to get up early and go to the boring service. This is how the world works. Most likely, therefore, the phrase "weekdays" few people happy.
What explanatory dictionaries say
For some inexplicable reason, “everyday life” is a lot. The term does not have a singular. Probably, the eternal dream of such a life has also worked here, when it will not be necessary to get up every day neither light nor dawn and engage in hard work. What to hide, dreamed about this before. Now, more and more people are indulging in such dreams. It turns out that there are always many weekdays, and few holidays. Like it or not, the day off is singular. Dictionaries explain to us that weekdays are a counterweight to weekends. That is, those days when you can leave the works for a while. In addition, everyday life is a time when life flows in a routine of everyday life. It is worth adding here that most often weekdays are certain days of the week: from Monday to Friday. Not for everyone. Rather, this rhythm is replicated by the media. There are many people for whom he is shot down, broken. These include those who work, for example, in the service sector or in continuous production. Ask this: “What is a typical weekday for you?” You will hear - the worker. And it can be everyone’s favorite Saturday and Sunday, even New Year’s - a festive day that no one will ever call everyday language.
Weekdays in the Labor Code of the Russian Federation - normal working hours
Such a concept is in the Labor Code. Article 91 of the named document regulates it at forty o'clock. But that is not all. Norma is work on weekdays. That is, all forty hours are distributed between Monday and Friday in equal proportions. We get: eight hours a day. This is normal business hours. There are enterprises where you need to work on weekdays and weekends. For example, shops cannot be closed on Saturdays and Sundays, people need goods, and so on. In this case, a schedule is set. He must take into account the same forty hours a week. An employee needs to be given a day off, which doesn’t necessarily fall on Sunday. Subject to the provisions of Art. 91 processing is not considered.
What is recycling?
If on a normal weekday a person is forced to work more properly, then this should be documented. That is, the boss cannot give an oral order binding upon him. It is simply prohibited by the Labor Code of the Russian Federation. For an employee to work longer on weekdays than usual, a justified document is needed. The reasons for the publication of such an order are included in the TC. These may be production needs, urgent work, and so on. All this should be indicated in the document. In addition, its contents are communicated to employees under signature. The type and amount of compensation is also indicated there. They are also decrypted in the shopping mall. So, for processing an employee can be given time off (day off) at another time. Another option: this time will be paid at higher rates.
