duration of the normal working week is forty hours.However, according to labor standards, individual workers laid shortened or part-time.Despite the apparent similarity of the name, these concepts are not identical: they are used for various reasons and entail different consequences.
Underemployment - what is it?
Under an agreement with the employer certain categories of employees can work on an incomplete schedule.This is possible by reducing the number of hours worked per week (for example, from forty to thirty), or decrease the number of days worked per week while preserving their normative duration (for example, work for eight hours from Monday to Thursday).
Payment under this schedule will be either hours worked or for the amount of work performed.It is worth emphasizing that no holiday, nor the calculation of seniority this type of employment is not affected, then there are holidays, and seniority, and sick leave, and other payments will be considered as well as the full working day (week).
Who has the right to work part time?
apply for a transfer to part-time schedule can:
- pregnant women;
- raising a child under fourteen years of age;
- workers who are raising a disabled child under the age of majority;
- employees caring for a sick family member.
Reduction Week (days) is set to them in their personal statement, and the employer can not deny the right, no matter what the nature of the work is.
Underemployment is also possible for employees with children up to three years, and maintaining parental leave and the right to benefit.
part-time work at the initiative of an employee may be established for a certain period (for example, until the child reaches any age) or indefinitely.
part-time on the orders of an employer
In some cases, the employer can transfer their employees to part-time.For example, this is possible in case of reorganization or a change in technology and production conditions.In this case, you must notify each employee in writing within two months (or earlier) prior to the introduction of the new regime.In addition, within three days, and relies notify the employment service.Part-time work at the request of the employer can not be established for a period of more than six months.The employee retains the right to refuse work on an incomplete schedule.In this case, he should not be fired at will, and to reduce the state.
As in the first case, the payment will be based on the actual working hours (shifts), while maintaining full rights to leave and spent the time in addition experience.
Shorter working hours
Unlike incomplete, shortened day is set to fail, regardless of the wishes of the employer or the employee, to the following categories:
- teachers and work in harmful and / or dangerous conditions - 36 hours;
- with disabilities first and second groups - 35 hours:
- employees to sixteen - 24 hours.
working day is shortened by an hour completely for all workers in the pre-holiday, including, if the holiday falls on a weekend, and was moved.In addition, a shortened day can be set, and other categories of employees, such as working with chemical weapons from the immunodeficiency virus materials to physicians, as well as, in certain cases, for example, in the summer months.
Payment for reduced working time is calculated as the total of the waste.In other words, the reduced number of hours for these categories of staff is the norm, and only they will defect to the need to recalculate salaries.
Thus, the concept of part-time reduction and differ among themselves.The first is a variant of the norm, the second - the ability to reduce it without saving earnings for unfinished clock.
