Vacation of civil servants. Changes to the Federal Law

The legislation is regularly improved. People who are affected by the change need to be informed so as not to violate regulatory rules. So, now the vacation of public servants is becoming shorter. In June 2016, the legislator revised the old rules. Let's see what the duration of the vacation of civil servants will now be, whether it differs greatly from the rest time of other employees.

Content 176 FZ

The text of the law is not very large. It indicates the changes made to some articles 79 of the Federal Law. All of them relate to the duration of the main and additional holidays. So, if before the first depended on the position, now all civil servants will rest the same number of days - thirty. The next change relates to the duration of additional holidays. There are two types. The first - for the length of service, the second - for the irregular day. The norms relating to both, significantly redone in the direction of reduction. That is, from the moment the law comes into force, people of the sovereign will have less rest than before. Is this fair? The legislator knows best how to resolve such issues is within his competence. And the employees themselves had to choose: to comply with new standards or to look for another job. There are no loopholes in the regulatory act to increase rest. Vacation of civil servants is now getting shorter, that is, conditions are getting worse. The step is not the most natural. Why is this decision made?

Grounds for adopting 176 Federal Law

When discussing this legislative act, the following reasons were indicated:

1. The need to save budget funds.
2. Injustice of existing norms.

In the previous edition, the duration of rest provided for irregular work was established by the organization. That is, it was possible to abuse this norm. Legislatively fixed that the additional leave of civil servants in this case could not be less than three days. In fact, the organization could install it in any size. And this was reflected in the financing. After all, these types of vacations are paid from the budget. For the same reason, the procedure for calculating additional leave for length of service was changed. It also decreased significantly. The latter circumstance is especially sensitive for “old” workers, but it is not at all important for young specialists who have not yet reached the level of benefits. The law will seriously save budget money.

New standards

According to the amendments, the leave of civil servants is now thirty calendar days. The law does not presuppose any gradations and accounting for “big ranks”, as before. All people of the sovereign, regardless of rank, are equalized in the sense of the duration of paid leave. If you do not remember, the old edition had 30 and 35 days. The additional rest time has changed in a slightly different way. In the old edition of the normative act, it was assumed that for the year of service, the employee received one additional day of rest. This led to the fact that some people were absent from service for two months, if not more. And taking into account the second preferential leave, it was difficult to wait for such an “employee” in his place. Now the standards have been standardized (see table).

For an example, let’s see how the rest of people who have served in government agencies for a long time has changed. If earlier a person with eight years of experience had the right to the same amount of extra days, now his rest is limited to five. Savings - wages for three days.

How holiday has changed for an irregular day

The legislator approached this norm even stricter. Previously, it was installed by the enterprise. The law limited only its minimum duration. By agreement, it was possible to set any dates as long as there were enough funds to pay. You must admit that there is little or no rationalism in such spending. It has now been established that this type of preferential holiday is limited to only three days. Strictly and specifically. Any initiative in this matter is excluded. Probably, some people do not like such austerities. But you need to understand that there are not enough funds in the country, they should be saved.

Additional Provisions

One important question remains. Not all sovereign people have the opportunity for objective reasons to go on vacation. Some accumulate non-regular periods. According to the provisions of the law, leave of a civil servant, falling under the old wording, does not change retroactively. This means that those periods that are calculated before the entry into force of the new standards remain the same. It was supposed to a person thirty-five days of the main and fifteen plus ten additional - so much walks. And employees have the right to take money (compensation is called). All this is calculated according to old legislation.

Conclusion

It remains to note that the rules entered into force on August 2, 2016. Changes in the legislation upset not only civil servants, they also added work to specialists in personnel departments. One good thing is that the new edition for each individual person begins to work with his personal new year. That is, if you got a job on April 9, then leave for 2016 takes off according to the old law. And those who came already on August 3 will receive short periods of rest. All other changes will affect from 2017. Note that the legislator significantly cut the vacation of civil servants, but it still remains longer than that of other workers (28 days). So those who work for the country have nothing to complain about. Get used to it over time.
