According to Russian law all workers have the right to rest.In some cases, in addition to annual paid, you can get a leave without pay.To obtain such leave from work, you must have good reasons.It can be various family reasons - marriage, illness of a close family member, urgent emergency repairs in the apartment, seeing the army, sending children on summer vacation, etc.The employee will keep his job, and the days when he was absent from the service are not covered.There are still some important things you should know.If the duration of leave without pay of not more than 14 calendar days (calendar year), this period is included in the seniority, taking into account the annual paid leave.
rights of workers
professionals seeking to release from work for a certain period should apply for leave without specifying valid reasons.In each case, the employer makes a decision - to give the employee the exemption or not.This means that you can get, and the refusal, if the reasons deem disrespectful.The Labour Code of the Russian Federation in Article 128 of the prescribed reasons, under which an employee may not refuse to grant exemption from work.So, you are required to sign a statement on leave without pay in cases of:
- marriage registration, the passing of a close relative, the birth of a child (put a vacation to 5 days);
- to enter higher education or training them for the exams (up to 15 days);
- participants of the Great Patriotic War (up to 35 days);
- working pensioners (14 days);
- employees with disabilities (up to 60 days);
- combatants (up to 30 days);
- civil servants for family and other valid reasons (less than a year).
If an employee receives an unpaid leave, but for some reasons interrupts and goes to work before, that is his right.You only need to notify the relevant service in the organization, which previously received your application for leave without pay.
initiative of the employer is punishable
Often there are cases when an employer makes workers go on unpaid leave.Most often so covered downtime fault of the manager.But the days of forced rest to be paid in accordance with the Labour Code.Leave for personal reasons and downtime - two completely different things!It is important that workers know their rights.Sometimes leaders are forcing workers to apply for leave without pay, claiming that this solves the problem of mass layoffs.Such actions are a flagrant violation of the employer's worker's rights.In the case of the trial clearly such leave will be considered as downtime, and the head will be responsible.In addition to the payment of days of downtime, will have to pay penalties for delay and salaries.It would be nice to remember all the leaders - the forced vacation of the LC RF considers illegal.
