He recalled that this term is in the legislation, but it is interpreted differently, depending on the form of labor relations.
“I don’t think, I’ll tell you frankly that we need to insert a strict definition directly into the Labor Code,” TASS quotes Medvedev.
The head of government cited an example of a situation where a woman can be told: "This does not fit into the definition, which means full time." He called for reasonable flexibility in this matter.
Earlier, deputies at a meeting with Medvedev agreed to hold large-scale discussions on the topic of "four-day". It is planned that they will be held in early 2020.
In October, the Ministry of Labor sent a report on this topic to the cabinet.
