The length of the working day is a matter in which the interests of both the employer and the employee intersect. For the first, it is important that the right amount of product is produced in a given time. For the employee, the level of earnings and the possibility of a good rest, thanks to which it would be possible to restore strength, also depend on the length of his working day. In fact, this is a conflict of interests between the worker and the employer. Unfortunately, the bosses are not always
can meet the norm of the working day. Often there are times when accidents or any malfunctions in the production process cause a loss of time. Moreover, any urgent orders may appear, promising considerable benefits. To cope with them or to compensate for unforeseen malfunctions in the production process, the employer can and has the right to increase the working time. In this case, special forms of organization of activity are needed.
Under certain conditions, legislation in most countries allows employers to increase working hours. Our state is no exception. His Labor Code says that an employer can be involved in work outside the
normal working hours for two reasons: either for overtime work, or if the employee has an irregular working day. In most cases, the application of such measures is a consequence of violations of the production process.
Overtime pay is money earned by workers for "extra" working hours. It has its own characteristics. The total amount of overtime work can be accurately known only at the end of the accounting period, then overtime is paid. Accounting for this time is carried out in special documentation.
Overtime is paid this way: the first two extra hours are paid one and a half times, and all the rest are double. It is usually not included in the base amount for calculating premiums, since most often there is no point in including it there. At the request of the employee, overtime pay may be replaced by an increase in rest time. For example, if he worked on a day off, then he can choose some other day for rest. In this case, overtime payment is provided single. These provisions are based on Art. 152 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation. On weekends or holidays
, workers are
paid at least twice the salary, and employees receiving an official salary receive at least a single rate - hourly or daily, depending on the time of work. These norms are established by article 153 of the Labor Code.
The amount in which overtime hours will be paid can be established by a collective or individual labor agreement (or some other normative document) drawn up taking into account the views of the representative body of workers. The same applies to people engaged in creative activities. In particular, this applies to workers in the theater, cinema or the media, as well as persons creating or exhibiting works of art.
