According to her, "authorities, other bodies and organizations, employers" independently, in accordance with the decree, determine the number and composition of workers necessary to ensure the functioning of "the relevant authorities, organizations, enterprises, including the organization of work remotely."

“Employees can work remotely in accordance with labor laws if job duties can be performed using a remote work format,” she said.

Golikova added that the presence of non-working days in May is not a reason for a reduction in wages.

She noted that if the salary payment date falls on non-working days, then the salary must be paid in advance.

Earlier, the press secretary of the Russian President Dmitry Peskov said that the additional weekend announced between the May holidays will not affect a number of companies.
