Production calendar for October 2021 (5-day work week)

Working hours standards for 2021

The production calendar is a list of working and non-working days officially approved by the government.

Public holidays

There are no official public holidays. In this regard, there are no long weekends (more than 2 days in a row) planned during this period. But there are several unofficial professional and religious dates. For example, on October 28, our country celebrates Grandparents' Day - an excellent occasion to once again pay attention to your loved ones and surround them with warm care. Traditionally, on this day it is customary to organize intimate family feasts at home or invite relatives to joint events: a trip to a cafe, cinema or gallery. An excellent gift on such a day could be a creatively designed family album or a warm knitted scarf. After all, winter is ahead, and grandmothers knit mainly for their children and grandchildren, so they will be very pleased to receive a return gift in a similar style.

Holidays and weekend postponements in 2021

In 2021, non-working days in the Russian Federation are:

• January 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 8 — New Year holidays (as amended by Federal Law No. 35-FZ of April 23, 2012);

• July 1—Voting day on amendments to the Constitution of the Russian Federation;
• November 4 is National Unity Day.

In 2021, non-working holidays on February 23, March 8 and May 9 coincide with weekends, which means they are transferred to the next working days after the holidays - February 24, March 9 and May 11, respectively.
For the purpose of rational use by employees of weekends and non-working holidays, the Government of the Russian Federation, in accordance with Article 112 of the Labor Code, has the right to transfer weekends to other days. Based on Article 112 of the Labor Code, if a day off coincides with a non-working holiday, it is transferred in the production calendar to the next working day after the holiday. Transfer of holidays provided for by the Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation “On the transfer of holidays in 2020” dated July 10, 2021 No. 875:

• January 4 (Sat) → May 4 (Mon)
• January 5 (Sun) → May 5 (Tue)

Pre-holidays in 2021:

• April 30 - pre-holiday day
• May 8th - pre-holiday day
• June 11th - pre-holiday day
• November 3 - pre-holiday day
• December 31st - pre-holiday day

Instead of a total or calendar function

The prevalence of PC use is due not only to its reliability and accuracy, but also to its ease of use.

So,

1. The PC can be used in both paper and electronic form. It can be downloaded and printed in a user-friendly horizontal or vertical orientation, or used online on a PC;
2. The calendar contains information about holidays and shortened pre-holiday working days;
3. The calendar provides information about the total number of working days, weekends and holidays in a year;
4. The calendar has quarterly divisions, which is especially valuable for accounting work.

Where to go for the weekend?

Unfortunately, you won’t be able to take a vacation under the “state quota” in October. Therefore, if there is a desire and an urgent need to abandon everyday work, it is worth taking a vacation. Fortunately, there are options for where you can go - for every taste and budget. It is preferable, of course, to get rid of the autumn blues that roll in just in October, to go to warm countries, to the sea. Excellent options would be, for example, Turkey, Thailand, Vietnam, Israel, Cuba, GOA. Temperature conditions in early October are ideal almost everywhere: comfortable 25-27 during the day, and the water in the sea is warmed up to 22-24 degrees. In this weather, you can not be afraid of red shoulders and noses and calmly stroll along the streets from one attraction to another.

For fans of European countries planning their vacation in October, it is worth planning a trip closer to the end of October. In most countries of the European Union, perhaps the most colorful and at the same time eerie and mystical Halloween is celebrated. During this period, shop windows and cafes are full of themed decorations, and costume parties are held in clubs. This is a real string of creativity: any extraordinary person will be very interested in being in the thick of such events. Therefore, you can go to Italy or Spain for bright impressions, finding excellent weather there, conducive to sunny walks.

Calculation of average earnings in June 2021

The introduction of non-working days poses a question for the employer: how to calculate the average salary of an employee, should we take into account non-working “presidential” days and payment for them?

The Ministry of Labor in letter No. 14-1/B-585 dated May 18, 2020 reminds that average earnings are determined in accordance with Art. 139 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation and Government Decree No. 922 of December 24, 2007. Taking into account the provisions of these regulations, average earnings in June 2021 will be calculated for the period from June 2021 to May 2021 (12 months), based on the salary actually accrued for this period and actually time worked.

The Ministry of Labor provides a list of time intervals that are not taken into account in the calculations. Among them is the time when an employee is released from work with full or partial retention of wages (clause “e”, clause 5 of Resolution No. 922). These include the “non-working” period from March 30 to May 8, 2021.

The agency summarizes that non-working days declared by Presidential Decrees and payments to employees for them are not taken into account when determining average earnings if employees were released from work during the specified period.

Example 3

In June 2021, the company is reducing its workforce. To calculate severance pay in the amount of the average monthly earnings of one of the dismissed employees, the following indicators are taken into account:

• wages for June 2021 - May 2021 amounted to 420,000 rubles, the number of working days for this period was 246;
• during the non-working period from March 30 to May 8, the employee was released from work. Salary for these non-working days (from March 30 to May 8) – 25,000 rubles, 27 days are not taken into account;
• the employee is fired on 06/05/2020, severance pay is paid for 06/06-07/05/2020, this period accounts for 20 working days.

The average daily earnings of an employee will be:

(420,000 – 25,000) / (246 – 27) = 1803.65 rubles.

Severance pay upon dismissal:

1803.65 x 20 = 36073 rub.

X pre-holiday day, operating time is 1 hour less. There is no reason to consider June 23, 2020 as shortened, because... 06/24/2020 has not been declared a non-working holiday.

Thus, in June 2021, during the “five-day week”:

• calendar days – 30;
• working days – 20;
• non-working days – 10.

Hours restrictions and work standards

Depending on certain factors, the number of working hours per week may be reduced. For example, such measures are applied in the following cases:

• the employee has not reached 16 years of age - no more than 24 hours a week;
• employee aged 16 to 18 years - no more than 35 hours per week;
• employees who are disabled people of groups 1 and 2 - no more than 35 hours per week;
• employees engaged in harmful and dangerous activities - no more than 36 hours per week.

The above norms are stipulated in Article 92 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation. It also follows from it that a 36-hour work week is established for workers employed in dangerous and harmful positions on the basis of an employment contract. With the consent of the employees, the duration of employment can be increased to 40 hours, but in this case they will be awarded monetary compensation.

ConsultantPlus experts remind you that in connection with the announcement of non-working days established by presidential decrees No. 206 dated 03/25/2020, No. 239 dated 04/02/2020, No. 294 dated 04/28/2020, No. 345 dated 05/29/2020 and No. 354 dated 06/01/2020, the time limit has been adjusted. For more information, see the 2020 Manufacturing Calendar for a five-day workweek and the 2020 Manufacturing Calendar for a six-day workweek. Use this information for free.

The number of hours of employment, work schedule and other nuances must be recorded in the employment contract. This is worth paying attention to when signing it.

What to do on the weekend?

If vacation still doesn’t work out, you can arrange a small celebration at home or at work. There are enough reasons for this, both professional and original. For example, in October, October 12 is officially celebrated as Personnel Worker Day in Russia. There are no days off, but many companies have established traditions. Corporate celebrations of professionals in the field of personnel selection and adaptation after the end of the working day often develop into pleasant gatherings of colleagues united by common interests. Therefore, you can congratulate your family and friends who are directly related to this holiday. An excellent gift would be some kind of fashion stationery: a leather-bound diary, a metal pen with a name engraving. If relationships with colleagues from the HR department are more informal, the gift may be lighter and more humorous. Any simple things will do: funny cards, cute toys, unusual dishes and other funny gifts. In this case, any attention, even just verbal congratulations, will be a pleasant gesture and will certainly cheer up a relative, friend or colleague.

The tradition of celebrating October 31st has recently taken root in Russia. Of course, it does not have such widespread distribution with the mark “required”, as in the USA. But we happily adopted costume parties, accompanied by colorful decorations and special dishes on the festive table. On this day, many restaurants and clubs offer special menus at competitive prices or organize themed events. In the evening after work, you can perfectly diversify your leisure time by visiting one of these events. And especially bold and shocking people choose extravagant costumes for themselves, apply bright makeup or unusual make-up. Characters from movies, comics or cartoons, as well as mystical monsters and creepy monsters are held in high esteem. It can be a lot of fun to be at parties with such guests; photo reports from such events will decorate any Instagram very colorfully.

Despite the fact that you should not expect planned holidays with weekends during the week in October 2021, there are still a lot of reasons to lift your spirits and organize a small celebration. It could also be a professional holiday spent pleasantly with colleagues, such as Personnel Worker’s Day. Or a great family celebration on Grandparents' Day, which can be a good reason for small but very pleasant surprises for the older generation. And you can end the month by having a blast at a Halloween party. By a happy coincidence, October 31, 2021 falls on a Saturday, so you won’t have to get up early in the morning for work.
