Commentary on the production calendar for 2015
The production calendar shows the standard working hours for months, quarters and 2015 as a whole for 40-, 36- and 24-hour work weeks, as well as the number of working days and days off for a five-day work week with two days off.
According to Article 112 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation (hereinafter referred to as the Labor Code of the Russian Federation) (as amended by Federal Law No. 35-FZ dated 23.0412), non-working holidays in the Russian Federation are:
- January 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 8 — New Year holidays;
- January 7—Christmas Day;
- February 23 - Defender of the Fatherland Day;
- March 8—International Women's Day;
- May 1 - Spring and Labor Day;
- May 9 - Victory Day;
- June 12—Russia Day;
- November 4 is National Unity Day.
The Labor Code of the Russian Federation establishes that if a day off coincides with a non-working holiday, the day off is transferred to the next working day after the holiday. Thus the following days off have been postponed:
- from Sunday 8 March to Monday 9 March;
- from Saturday 9 May to Monday 11 May.
The exception is weekends that coincide with non-working holidays in January. In accordance with Art. 112 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation The Government of the Russian Federation has the right to transfer two days off from the number of days off that coincide with non-working January holidays to other days in the next calendar year. Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation dated August 27, 2014 No. 860 “On the transfer of days off in 2015” provides for the transfer of days off:
- from Saturday January 3 to Friday January 9;
- from Sunday 4 January to Monday 4 May.
In accordance with the “Procedure for calculating the norm of working time for certain calendar periods of time (month, quarter, year) depending on the established duration of working time per week,” approved by order of the Ministry of Health and Social Development of Russia dated August 13, 2009 No. 588n, this norm is calculated according to the five-day calculated schedule working week with two days off on Saturday and Sunday, based on the duration of daily work (shift):
- with a 40-hour work week - 8 hours;
- with a 36-hour work week - 7.2 hours;
- with a 24-hour work week - 4.8 hours.
The length of the working day or shift immediately preceding a non-working holiday is reduced by one hour. In 2015, such pre-holiday working days are:
- April 30;
- May 8;
- June 11;
- the 3rd of November;
- 31th of December.
The standard working time calculated in the specified order applies to all work and rest regimes.
An example of calculating the standard working time in June 2015 with a five-day working week with two days off (initial data: 21 working days, on June 11 the working day was reduced by 1 hour):
- calculation for a 40-hour work week:
(8 hours x 21 days) - 1 hour = 167 hours;
(7.2 hours x 21 days) - 1 hour = 150.2 hours;
(4.8 hours x 21 days) - 1 hour = 99.8 hours.
In 2015, 247 working days, including 5 working days reduced by one hour. Calculation of standard working hours for 2015 with a five-day work week with two days off:
- with a 40-hour work week:
(8 hours x 247 days - 5 hours) = 1971 hours; - with a 36-hour work week:
(7.2 hours x 247 days - 5 hours) = 1773.4 hours; - with a 24-hour work week:
(4.8 hours x 247 days - 5 hours) = 1180.6 hours.
Supervisory authorities monitor compliance with labor law regulations very carefully. This primarily concerns the regulation of labor time. This indicator is scrupulously set by the government separately for each calendar year. At the same time, production calendars are drawn up and payroll varies depending on the number of planned and worked hours.
In 2015, the rules for calculating working hours underwent minor changes regarding the work schedule on the eve of holidays, the postponement of weekends, etc.
General provisions on working time standards
Work and rest periods for employees are established:
- legislation of the Russian Federation;
- production calendar;
- local acts of the enterprise.
The current production calendar contains reference information on labor time standards for 2015 as a whole, each quarter and month separately for 40-, 36- and 24-hour work weeks. It also provides a calculation of the number of working hours and days off for a five-day work week with two days off.
It must be remembered that in addition to the usual duration of work, which according to Art. 91 of the Labor Code is 40 hours, in certain cases, guided by Art. 92 of the Labor Code, the employer is obliged to establish an abbreviation for:
- certain types of teaching and medical staff;
- employees engaged, strictly speaking, in work with so-called dangerous or harmful conditions;
- minors and disabled people.
If necessary, specific working hours can be applied:
- flexible (Article 102 of the Labor Code);
- non-standardized (Article 101 of the Labor Code);
- incomplete (Article 93 of the Labor Code);
- summarized (Article 104 of the Labor Code);
- division into parts (Article 105 of the Labor Code);
- work in shifts (Article 103 of the Labor Code).
Holidays in 2015
According to Article 112 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation, the following are considered holidays in Russia:
- 01-06 and 08.01 – New Year holidays;
- 07.01 – Christmas;
- 23.02 – Army Day;
- 08.03 – World Women's Day;
- 01.05 – First of May, strictly speaking;
- 09.05 – as everyone knows, Victory Day;
- 12.06 – Russian Federation Day;
- 04.11 – Holiday of National Unity.
The Labor Code provides the following:
- if a day off and a holiday fall on the same calendar date, the day off is transferred to the next working day (the rule does not apply to January holidays);
- federal authorities may postpone holidays.
Order of the Government of the Russian Federation dated July 27, 2014 No. 860 established specific dates for such a transfer. By the way, with all the changes made, compliance with the requirement of Article 110 of the Labor Code on the minimum duration of continuous weekly rest at the level of 42 hours is ensured.
- In January there are 16 days off and 15 working days. Holidays on January 3rd and 4th, which fall on Saturday and Sunday, have been moved to 09.01 (Friday) and 04.05 (Monday). Thus, the New Year holidays last 11 days - from 01.01 to 11.01 inclusive.
- In February, the Defender of the Fatherland Day holiday will last for 3 days (from 21.02 directly to 23.02)
- But in March, the weekend is scheduled from 08/07 to 03/09.
- At the beginning of May, the days from 01.04 to 04.04 and from 09.04 to 11.04 will be devoted to rest (3 days off are dedicated to the 70th anniversary of Victory Day). The total number of days off this month is 13.
- In June, from 12.05 to 14.05, Russia Day will be celebrated.
Taking into account paid vacations lasting at least 28 calendar days annually, the total number of days off in 2015 will be 146 days, or 2/5 of the year. In addition, extended vacations have been established for many categories of workers. Thus, the number of vacation days in Russia is significantly greater than in many other countries.
Rules for calculating working hours
Order of the Ministry of Health and Social Development of the Russian Federation dated July 13, 2009 No. 588 established the current procedure for calculating labor time standards for reporting periods (year, quarter, month) based on the agreed weekly duration. This value is calculated according to the scheme of a 5-day work week with two days off, taking into account the length of the shift or working day with:
- 40-hour week – 8 hours,
- 36-hour – 7.2 hours;
- 24-hour – 4.8 hours.
Moreover, the duration of a work shift or the day before a non-working holiday is reduced by an hour. In 2015 this applies to the following dates:
- 30.04;
- 08.05;
- 11.06;
- 03.11;
- 31.12.
In institutions, when developing a work schedule, in addition to the usual monthly working hours, annual, semi-annual, and quarterly hours are also used.
In 2015, with a five-day week with 2 days off, there will be:
- 247 full-time working days, of which 5 are shortened;
- 118 weekends/holidays.
In 2015, the annual standard of working time should be:
- with a 40-hour work week – 1971 hours;
- at 36 hours – 1773.4 hours;
- at 24 hours – 1180.6 hours.
Calculation of monthly labor time using a specific example
Let’s choose the month May 2015. If an institution introduces a five-day week with two days off, then the following is expected:
- 18 workdays, including one day shortened by 1 hour – 05/08/15;
- 13 days off.
The production rate will be at:
- A 40-hour week is 143 hours (calculated as 8 hours multiplied by 18 days and subtracted 1 hour);
- 36-hour is 128.6 hours (calculated as 7.2 hours multiplied by 18 days and subtracted 1 hour);
- 24-hour is 85.4 hours (calculated as 4.8 hours multiplied by 18 days and subtracted 1 hour).
Less commonly used working time indicators
For accounting purposes and calculating salary amounts, an indicator such as the average monthly number of working hours is used. In 2015 it should be:
- with a 40-hour operating mode, the figure is 164.2 hours (1971 hours divided by 12 months);
- in the case of 36 hours it is equal to 147.8 hours (1773.4 hours divided by 12 months);
- in the case of 24 hours it is equal to 98.4 hours (1180.6 hours divided by 12 months).
At the same time, to calculate hourly tariff rates and organize wages, annual and monthly labor time standards are used. When forming standards for the number of personnel of an institution, it is recommended to use such an indicator as the average annual norm of labor time (another name is the average annual nominal working time fund). It is calculated as the arithmetic average of annual nominal funds over the past 5 years, taking into account the current one.
Summarized standard working hours
In some organizations, due to specific operating conditions, daily and even weekly working hours cannot be observed. For such cases, the Labor Code of the Russian Federation allows the establishment of summarized time tracking for individual employees. There are some rules about this:
- such a system cannot be implemented simultaneously for all employees (for example, in a taxi service it may be justified for drivers and operators, but is not suitable for an accountant, lawyer, or cleaner);
- hours worked can be counted over a period of time longer than a week, but the established working time limit cannot be exceeded;
- when introducing summarized accounting, you need to issue an order approving the work regime and schedule;
- In order to avoid labor disputes, the condition for such recording of working time should be written down in the employment contract with the employee.

Weekends and holidays 2015
According to the 2015 production calendar, non-working holidays in Russia (approved by Article 112 of the Labor Code) will be the following days:
- January 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 8 - New Year holidays;
- January 7 - Christmas;
- February 23 - Defender of the Fatherland Day;
- March 8 - International Women's Day;
- May 1 - Spring and Labor Day;
- May 9 - Victory Day;
- June 12 - Russia Day;
- November 4 is National Unity Day.
If a public holiday falls on a weekend, it is transferred to the next working day after the weekend. For example, in 2015, International Women's Day, March 8th, falls on a Sunday, so the day off is moved to Monday, March 9th. On the eve of official state holidays, working time is reduced by 1 hour, the same for both a 40-, 36- and 24-hour five-day working week (Part 1 of Article 95 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation). If a holiday falls on a Sunday, then working hours on Friday are not reduced by one hour. In 2015, there will be 5 such pre-holiday days in Russia: April 30, May 8, June 11, November 3, December 31.
The Government of the Russian Federation has the right to make changes to the working calendar for 2015, to transfer non-working holidays to other days in order to rationalize the labor process (Article 112 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation). For example, in 2015 the following transfers of weekends are provided:
- from Saturday January 3 to Friday January 9;
- from Sunday 4 January to Monday 4 May.
Thus, the New Year holidays will last 11 days in 2015, from January 1 to January 11. On Defender of the Fatherland Day there will be 3 non-working days: from February 21 to 23, in honor of International Women's Day - also 3: from March 7 to 9. During the May holidays, citizens of the Russian Federation will rest from the 1st to the 4th and from the 9th to the 11th of the month. On Russia Day there will also be three days off in a row - from June 12 to 14. In November, only one day will be a non-working holiday - Wednesday, the 4th - National Unity Day.
Working time standards for 2015 in Russia
The duration of a working day or shift with a 40-hour work week with two days off on Saturday and Sunday is 8 hours, with a 36-hour work week - 7.2 hours, with a 24-hour work week - 4.8 hours, on a pre-holiday day it is reduced by 1 hour .
According to the Russian labor calendar, in 2015 the country has 247 working days (including 5 shortened days) and 118 days off.
