In a comment to the Prime agency, she noted that most often, payment for work on holidays is made at least twice the amount, or an employee can choose another day of rest if desired.
In the latter case, wages are paid at the usual rate.
Astaeva recalled that the relevant procedure is established by Art.
153 of the Labor Code of Russia.
The amount of payment for work on a holiday is established by a collective agreement or other legal acts.
“If part of the working day (shift) falls on a weekend or non-working holiday, the hours actually worked on the weekend or non-working holiday (from 0 hours to 24 hours) are paid at an increased rate,” the lawyer explained.
SuperJob President and Founder Alexei Zakharov previously predicted a surge of activity in the labor market in Russia after the New Year holidays.
