The calendar is not an enemy, but a friend

The PC’s ease of use is due to the fact that it comes in two versions, that is, it is designed for both a five-day and a six-day work week, which relieves accountants of some of the labor-intensive daily calculations. Another convenience of the PC is its division into time periods corresponding to accounting reports, that is, into quarters of the year.

Our calendar was created in full compliance with labor legislation and the standards of the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation, and therefore you can rely on it without fear of breaking the law.

How does a PC calculate working hours?

The duration of working hours is regulated by Art. 91, 92 Labor Code of the Russian Federation.

Depending on the categories of workers, a gradation of maximum working hours is established. It will be enough for the accountant to correctly select the category of the employee, and the PC will do all the calculations independently.

In addition to the gradation of limits, there are also special standards for maximum working hours for workers combining work with study and part-time workers. Of course, the PC cannot take into account the working hours established by collective agreements, so it calculates according to the maximum limits established by the Labor Code.

How to calculate overtime hours worked using a PC

So, the PC indicates the maximum working time limits for a certain period of time.

Exceeding the maximum values will be considered overtime.

PC rules for calculating working time

The production calendar calculates working hours for all options. Hours per month are calculated based on a 5-day work week. That is, the maximum number of working hours per week (40, 36, 35, 24) is divided into five working days to establish the daily norm, which, in turn, by multiplying by the number of working days in the month, turns into monthly indicators.

The norm of hours worked for a month is the total number of daily norms for the same month and is calculated by the formula (number of daily norms) x (number of working days in the month). The PC calculates the maximum working hours per year by multiplying the daily rate by the number of working days per year.

Production calendar for January 2019

Below we present the production calendar for January 2021 with a five-day working week . Basically, it includes the holiday calendar for January 2021.

In January 2021, most workers expect 8 holidays. Regular weekends are also added to them - Saturday and Sunday. For example, when going to work on the 9th, citizens will work only 3 days, and again continue to rest on the weekend, since January 9th is Wednesday.

According to the production calendar, in January 2021 there will be a total of 17 working days and 14 weekends and holidays.

Weekends, holidays and shortened days in 2019

All of them are in one table:

Holidays	Holiday	Shortened days
January 1-6, 8	New Year holidays
Jan. 7	Nativity
February 23-24	Defender of the Fatherland Day	February 22
March 8-10	International Women's Day	March 7
May 1-5	Labour Day	April 30
May 9-12	Victory Day	May 8
12 June	Russia Day	June 11
November 2-4	National Unity Day

PC knows everything about holidays

Article 112 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation provides a list of public holidays celebrated at the national level. The days for transferring holidays are established annually by relevant orders of the Government of the Russian Federation.

Since the subjects of the Federation have the right to establish their own holidays of a political, religious, historical or national nature, regional holidays are also introduced into the Production calendars created for specific subjects of the Federation.

For example, the PC for Tatarstan lists June 25, August 30 and September 1 as holidays, which are not on the federal list of holidays.

PC and a holiday that fell on a day off

The labor legislation of the Russian Federation establishes that a holiday that falls on a day off, nevertheless, remains a holiday. Therefore, Article 112 provides that a calendar “unlucky” holiday adds one day off instead of the next working day, usually Monday.

Article 112 of the Labor Code applies to all holidays, except for the New Year holidays. Probably because the New Year holidays cannot be called a holiday.

The dates of holidays are highlighted in the PC, which will not allow the administration to forget about the ban on attracting workers to work on these days, with the exception of extraordinary cases or in cases of a variable schedule.

Pre-holiday day

The PC will not let you forget about such a requirement of Labor legislation as shortening the working day preceding the holiday.

For this purpose, the PC provides special marks for pre-holiday days and a reminder of the need to shorten the working day.

Production calendar 2021

The production calendar is not just a calendar that brings good news about the upcoming weekend, it is a document necessary for the accountant and personnel officer. It shows the number of working days, weekends and working hours by period. With its help, the accountant calculates wages, sick leave, vacation pay and calculates the number of working hours. It is also useful for the employee, as it helps plan vacations.

Most holidays are approved by the Labor Code. But every year some holidays fall on a day off, and then there is a need to postpone them. This is necessary for proper rest.

If a holiday falls on a weekend, the next working day is considered a non-working day. Every rule has exceptions. The January holidays always cover Saturday and Sunday. In order not to cut off workers' days off, the legislator spreads these days among working days throughout the year.

The Government of the Russian Federation annually issues a corresponding Resolution. The 2019 calendar is being built on the basis of the Resolution dated October 1, 2018.

In 2021, there are fewer holidays on weekends than in 2021. The holidays will be moved from two Saturdays: January 5 and February 23 to May 2 and 10. And one transfer from Sunday, January 6 to May 3.

Important! Transfers from Saturday apply only to the five-day period. For a six-day week, Saturday is a working day, so holidays that fall on it are not transferred.

Non-working days in 2021:

from December 30, 2021 (for a six-day period, 31 is a shortened working day!) to January 8, 2021 inclusive - New Year holidays, this also includes Christmas Day on January 7;
February 23 - do not forget to congratulate the defenders of our Motherland;
March 8 - Day of Beautiful Ladies;
May 1 and 9 — May Day and Great Victory Day
June 12 — Constitution Day of the Russian Federation;
November 4 is People's Unity Day.

The working day before a holiday is 1 hour less than a regular working day, regardless of the length of the working week. The shortened days will be: December 29, 2021 (for a six-day week, the shortened day is December 31, 2018), February 22, March 7, April 30, May 8, June 11 and December 31, 2021.

What are the expected postponements of holidays in 2021?

Our PC is well aware of the Russian Government Decree on postponing holidays in 2021.

Thus, the following weekend shifts are planned:

Saturday, January 5, is expected to be rescheduled to May 2.
Sunday, January 6, is expected to be rescheduled to May 3.
Saturday February 23rd is planned to be moved to May 10th, Friday.

Attention! Officially, all transfers will be known in the fall of 2021, so we recommend bookmarking our calendar and returning to it again after final approvals by the Government.

How labor is paid in January 2019

Work on weekends, as well as non-working holidays, is subject to payment at least double (Article 153 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation). The exact amounts of remuneration for work on weekends/non-working holidays (including January 2021) can be specified in a collective agreement, local regulation or employment contract.

An employee who worked on a day off/non-working holiday may be given another day of rest. In this case, work on a weekend/non-working holiday is paid at a single rate, and the day of rest chosen by the employee is not paid (Article 153 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation). However, the initiative to replace double pay with another day of rest should come from the employee, and not from the employer.

So, what does the calendar know and can do?

The convenience, reliability and accuracy of the PC have long made it possible to introduce it into all accounting systems in use today. In addition, the Production Calendar is available and functional both in electronic form and in its paper version, but the electronic version is still more convenient for two reasons:

The electronic version has the ability to receive advance notifications about events on the calendar. PC users are always aware of the dates of holidays and rest days, as well as the dates for their transfer established at the legislative level.
In the electronic version, integrated calculators will facilitate various types of calculations.

The hours of work and days of rest regulated by legal and by-laws have already been calculated in the PC. Moreover, the amount of working time is calculated depending on the length of the working week, determined by law at 40, 36, 35 or 24 hours and, for the convenience of the user, combined into quarterly indicators.

By the way, the production calendar for 2021 is already ready. Come in!
