Standard working hours for 2019 - how to calculate

What is the normal length of working time is a question that is important for both personnel officers and employees. According to the Labor Code of the Russian Federation, the norm is forty hours a week. This is the maximum that an employee can work in a week, both on a five-day and a six-day schedule.

The standard working day is 8 hours. Based on this figure, schedules are drawn up and the balance of labor time is determined. The monthly norm is easy to calculate based on the weekly norm. It should be taken into account that some categories of workers are supposed to work no more than 36 or 24 hours a week.

The number of working days (weekdays) in 2019 with a five-day work week is 247. The number of weekends and holidays is 118. Thus, the annual standard of working time for 2019 with a 40-hour work week is 1970 hours (40 hours: 5 days. × 247 days – 6 hours).

How we will work and relax in 2020

The Ministry of Labor has determined how we will work and relax in 2020. The New Year holidays will be shortened, but the May holidays will be lengthened. The number of working days and hours in 2020 will be greater, and the number of days that need to be reduced by one hour will also change. Experts from the Personnel Directory magazine have prepared for you production calendars for 2020 for five-day and six-day periods, download them and use them in your work.

With a shift work schedule, the duration of work still cannot exceed 40 hours per week. This is achieved by alternating days of work and rest according to the shift schedule. This procedure also applies to the twelve-hour day. Therefore, the standard working time for 2019 with a shift schedule, regardless of the length of the shift, is also 1970 hours (40 hours: 5 days × 247 days – 6 hours).

There is no standard night time per month established by the Labor Code. However, when working at night, the shift duration must be 1 hour shorter, that is, the employee must work a seven-hour shift. If, due to production needs, it is necessary to work an eight-hour night shift, then the employee must be paid overtime at one and a half times the rate.

Monthly hours for 2019

The monthly working hours for 2019 depend on the number of weekdays. For example, in October 2019 there are 23 such days, respectively, the number of working hours per month is 184 (23 x 8).

To calculate, the hourly duration of a working week (can be 40, 39, 36,30, 24, etc.) is divided by 5 and multiplied by the number of working days in a particular month. After this, the number of hours by which the total working day is shortened on the eve of the holidays is subtracted from the resulting value.

When workers stay in the office in the evenings and work on weekends, they expect higher pay. If an irregular day, based on an employee’s complaint, is recognized as overtime work, overtime will have to be accrued and compensation will have to be paid for the delay in payments. Read in the HR Directory magazine how to take into account employee overtime so as not to overpay.

It turns out that the standard working hours per day or shift, depending on the length of the week, is as follows:

• with a 40-hour work week it will be 8 hours;
• at 39 – 7.8;
• at 36 – 7.2;
• at 35 – 7;
• at 24 – 4.8.

In 2019, there will be six pre-holiday days - February 22, March 7, April 30, May 8, June 11 and New Year's Day December 31. The duration of work on these days, as usual, is reduced by an hour. If a day off is moved to a weekday, this day will not be shortened.

When calculating the norms, do not forget about postponing weekends. If it turns out that a day off and a non-working holiday coincide, the day off is transferred to the weekday following the holiday. As an exception, a special procedure for postponing holidays that coincide with weekends may be established. For example, part of the New Year holidays in last years joined to other holidays, for example, May.

Below we provide examples of calculations.

Standard hours in September 2019

In September, with a five-day work week with two days off, there are 21 weekdays and 9 days off.

Working hours in September are:

• with a 40-hour week – 168 hours (40 hours: 5 d × 21 d);
• at 36 – 151.2 (36 hours: 5 d × 21 d);
• at 24 – 100.8 (24 hours: 5 d × 21 d).

Standard hours in October 2019

In October, with a five-day work week with two days off, there are 23 weekdays and 8 days off.

Working hours this month are:

• with a 40-hour week – 184 hours (40 hours: 5 d × 23 d);
• at 36 – 165.6 (36 hours: 5 d × 23 d);
• at 24 – 110.4 (24 hours: 5 d × 23 d).

Annual standard working hours for 2019

In a similar way, you can calculate the standard working time for the year: divide the length of the working week (40, 39, 36, 30, 24, etc. hours) by 5, then, checking the calendar, multiply by the number of working days this year. From the resulting number, subtract the number of hours by which working hours will be reduced in the days preceding non-working holidays.

Let's look specifically at the situation in 2019. There will be 247 weekdays this year with a five-day work week with two days off. Including 6 pre-holiday days shortened by one hour, 118 weekends and non-working holidays.

The standard working hours in 2019 will be:

• with a 40-hour week - 1970 hours (40 hours: 5 d × 247 d - 6 hours);
• at 36 – 1772.4 (36 hours: 5 d × 247 d – 6 hours);
• at 24 – 1179.6 (24 hours: 5 d × 247 d – 6 hours).

With update from 05/05/2018

Production calendar (PC) is an unofficial document that, taking into account legal norms, facilitates the standardization and recording of working hours in the current year. In 2018, the main legal and accounting portals published 2 types of PCs: for a 5-day and a 6-day working week. Every year, the procedure for compiling PCs is secretly based on the norms of the Ministry of Health and Social Development of the Russian Federation.

The production calendar has been implemented in all modern systems accounting

The PC can be used in both paper and electronic formats. The second one is preferable because:

• many services have a pre-notification function, and the calendar user will never miss holidays and their periods, as well as official transfers;
• makes the calculation part easier thanks to built-in working time calculators

Clarifications on working time standards

Art. Art. 91 and 92 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation standardize the working hours for certain categories of workers:

• generally accepted - 40-hour work week;
• for company employees under 16 years old - up to 24 hours/week;
• from 16 to 18 years old - up to 35 hours/week;
• for disabled people of 1st and 2nd degree - up to 35 hours/week;
• for workers in hazardous and heavy industries - up to 36 hours/week.

There are also special regimes for students and part-time workers. According to the Labor Code of the Russian Federation and Order of the Ministry of Health and Social Development No. 588n dated August 13, 2009, any company by collective agreement can establish a different working time, which cannot exceed the maximum established by the Labor Code.

Important!

• In organizations with summarized time recording for periods equal to a month or a year or another period of time, their daily, weekly and monthly norms are calculated based on the work period norms established in the Labor Code of the Russian Federation.
• When accounting for overtime in aggregate, work on holidays and weekends included in this period will not be recognized. This is considered to be overtime processing.
• So, if the period is the 3rd quarter of 2018, then the norm will be 520 hours. This means that overtime is recognized as time worked from 521 hours.
• It is worth noting that violations of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation in in this case will not be, because payment for work on holidays/weekends will have to be made in double amount.

But in any case, the daily rate is calculated from the standard assumption about the length of the week - 5/2. Even if the organization is on a 6-day schedule. The norm is calculated by dividing the weekly time by 5:

• 40 hours / 5 = 8 hours
• 36h. / 5 = 7.2 hours.
• 24 hours / 5 = 4.8 hours
• And so on.

The standard version of the production calendar takes into account all working time standards provided for by the Labor Code of the Russian Federation. The accountant can only find out the category of the employee in order to calculate his salary.

The monthly norm (MN) is calculated based on the daily norm (DN):

DN* number of working days in a month = MN,

if a reduction in working hours is expected in a month due to a subsequent holiday, then the number of hours of reduction is subtracted from the MT.

For example, the monthly working hours in November 2018 with a 5-day (40-hour) week:

(40 hours / 5)* 21 = 8*21 = 168 hours.

The annual working hours are calculated using the formula:

DN* number of working days in a year - “decreasing” hours.

Holidays and shortened days according to the calendar

So, what holidays await us in 2018 and what days will be shortened before these holidays will be described in detail below.

Holidays

Thus, the list of official non-working holidays at the federal level is given in Article 112 of the Labor Code.

But Russia is a multi-religious country, and its citizens’ holidays may differ. Therefore, Art. 6 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation and Article 4 of the Federal Law “On Freedom of Conscience and Religious Associations” stipulate that the authorities of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation can declare other days as holidays, taking into account local traditions and beliefs. So, for example, in the Republic of Tatarstan these are: June 25, August 30, September 1. The subject's holidays are included in the subject's PC and affect the standard working hours.

Holiday-day off

Part 2 of Article 112 states: if a holiday falls on a non-working Saturday or Sunday, then in exchange for this day off, another day of rest is provided - the next working day. This rule is valid for all times except the New Year holidays. So, November 4, 2018, National Unity Day, is Sunday, so the weekend will be November 3, 4 and 5.

In accordance with Article 113, it is prohibited to involve employees in work on holidays. It's easy to remember this when using a PC: dates are highlighted and when you hover over them, pop-up tips - warnings - appear.

Shortening the working day before a holiday

In addition to holidays, the calendar also marks pre-holiday days with a note about the obligatory reduction of the working day by one hour (according to Article 95 of the Labor Code). The “smart” PC will also take into account the days when holidays are moved from a weekend to a weekday.

Transfers of holidays in 2018

There are many holidays in the Russian Federation and sometimes these days are not very convenient for citizens. In order to optimize rest time, the legislator, in the same Article 6 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation, provided for the possibility of transferring holidays to other days. It is formalized by an annual Government Decree. No more than 2 days can be transferred from the New Year holidays, which has been done for several years in a row.

In 2018, transfers will be as follows:

• From Saturday January 6th to Friday March 9th
• From Sunday January 7th to Wednesday May 2nd
• From Saturday 28 April to Monday 30 April
• From Saturday 9 June to Monday 11 June
• From Saturday 29 December to Monday 31 December

All transfers became officially known in the fall of 2017, but nevertheless, adjustments are still possible, keep this in mind.

A few more words about the calendar

What data can be seen on the production calendar

PC is an unofficial document; its introduction and use is not regulated by law. However, in essence, PC is a reflection of some articles of laws on a regular calendar.

In addition to, in fact, the usual calendar with notes on working, weekends and holidays (official and national) days, the PC includes:

• tables with calculated working/non-working time standards by month and quarter,
• numerical information about the number of working days and days off in each reporting period(from month to year),
• information about postponing holidays and reducing the length of the working day before them.

Who needs a calendar?

The working population of the Russian Federation almost always turns to PCs when planning a vacation.

Accountants use a PC to calculate disability payments, vacation pay, and salaries. Full accrual occurs when working hours are met for the month. Proportional accrual will be made in the case where the employee did not work for the entire month.

In “gray” companies, PCs are used by personnel officers, who are usually responsible for calculating part of the salary “in envelopes”. They also draw up work and shift schedules based on it, and count the number of vacation days to which the employee is entitled.

The rest of the population learns from the PC about professional and other holidays and weekends; uses other information.

The production calendar is indispensable for an accountant, so it should always be in sight.

The standard working time for 2018 is the total volume of days and hours to be worked for a certain period of time by each employee. It is convenient to track the standard using the production calendar. It provides monthly calculations of working days, weekends, holidays and norms of working hours for working weeks of different lengths. The basis for deriving standard values ​​is the provisions of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation and Order of the Ministry of Health dated August 13, 2009 No. 588n “On the procedure for calculating working time standards.”

Standard working hours 2018

Determining the working standard is necessary to make monthly accruals for wages. If the amount of time worked according to the timesheet meets the standard, the employee can expect to receive the full amount of remuneration specified in the employment contract. If the hours worked are less than the norm, the amount of salary and related bonuses will be reduced in proportion to production.

Current standard working hours for 2018 – table:

The standard working time for the 2018 reporting year, broken down by month, varies due to the unequal length of working weeks for different categories of personnel. In the standard version, the weekly work rate is 40 hours (8 hours daily with two days off, one of which is on Sunday). For some groups of employees, the employer is required to establish a reduced working time - 36 hours per week or 24 hours (with daily work of 7.2 and 4.8 hours, respectively).

Independent calculation of the working standard may also be necessary if the enterprise employs minor workers. The limit values ​​for the duration of daily work for them are determined by Art. 94 Labor Code of the Russian Federation.

The monthly working hours for 2018 are lowest in January. This is due to the long New Year holidays. There is one public holiday in February; before this date, the working day for all employees must be shortened by 1 hour.

The length of working hours is also affected by the postponement of weekends and holidays. For 2018, the list of such transfers was approved by the Government in Resolution No. 1250 dated October 14, 2017. The standard working hours for March 2018 takes into account the holiday and the transfer from January 6. Due to this, two additional days of rest and one shortened working day were formed during the month.

The work schedule in April was also adjusted by postponements. In May there are long weekend breaks that are typical for this month.

The working time standard for June 2018 contains a transfer of days off, implemented within one month. The hourly work standard is set taking into account the public holiday on June 12 and a shortened shift the day before (20 working days x 8 hours in each working day - 1 hour shortened before the holiday = 159 hours per month).

The working time standard in July 2018 does not have any “holiday” nuances; it reflects only full working days. Let's look at an example of calculating the July standard:

• in relation to a basic 40-hour week – 176 hours (22 working days x 8 hours of daily work);
• for a 36-hour weekly output, the standard is 158.4 hours (22 work days x 7.2 hours of work per day);
• with a 24-hour weekly norm, the hourly working time per month will be 105.6 hours (22 working days x 4.8 hours of daily work).

The standard working hours in August 2018 do not include holidays or shortened days. There are no additional days of rest in September-October. There is one holiday in November, but before it there is no reduction in working hours. In December there is an intra-month transfer and 1 shortened day on the 29th.

Formula for calculating standard working hours

The standard working time for a specific month is calculated using the following algorithm:

Duration of the working week in hours / 5 x Number of working days in a particular month according to the production calendar for a five-day working week - Hours by which working hours were reduced in the month in question on pre-holiday dates.

The annual standard of working time is calculated in a similar way, only the number of all working days in a year and the total annual number of hours by which work is reduced on holidays are taken into account.

It should be taken into account that the normal length of the working week should not exceed 40 hours, including during the “six-day work week” (Article 91 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation).

Norm for cumulative accounting

When summarizing work time, the accountant must focus on the standards of the calculation interval approved at the enterprise, without linking it separately to each month. During one such interval, the employee’s time sheet may alternate between periods of overtime and underwork, and based on the total amount of hours for the required period, compliance with the standard is obtained.

For example, the standard working hours for 2018 in the date range from January to March with a 40-hour week are equal to 446 hours (136 hours + 151 hours + 159 hours). The employee’s timesheets for the indicated months recorded the following data on work:

• in January 122 hours against the norm of 136 hours;
• in February 159 hours against the standard of 151 hours;
• in March, 165 hours were worked, which is 6 hours higher than the base rate of 159 hours.

As a result, in 3 months the person worked the required 446 hours (122 + 159 + 165), there is no overtime, the employee will receive a salary in the required amount.

The importance of the production calendar cannot be overestimated. The information contained in it is useful and necessary for both professionals and ordinary citizens.

What's in this document? First of all, official data on how many weekends, working days and holidays there are per year. The working time standards in force throughout the Russian Federation are also deciphered in detail.

The production calendar for 2018 assumes a five-day work week.

In total, 247 working days (1970 hours) and 118 days off are planned in 2018.

Longest weekend on " New Year" - 10 full days. The next longest holidays are March and May Day - 4 days each. 3 days of rest are planned for February 23 (Defender of the Fatherland Day), July 12 (Russia Day) and November 4 (National Unity Day).

Victory Day, which is celebrated annually on May 9, this year falls in the middle of the week and involves only one holiday.

For ease of perception, we have allowed the calendar to be divided quarterly and monthly. We hope that the information presented will more quickly resolve professional issues for accountants, HR employees and others.

How to calculate standard working hours in 2018 with a six-day working week

For organizations with a five-day and six-day work week, the calculation process is the same.

Attention! Companies with a six-day working week calculate the standard working hours in 2018 on a five-day basis.

However, if you multiply working days by working hours, the resulting number of working hours per month with a six-day week may not correspond to the number of working hours per month with a five-day week.

For example: Let's take October 2018. The standard working time this month for a five-day week is set at 184 hours.

And what happens with a six-day workday: (23 weekdays * 7 working hours) + (4 Saturdays * 5 working hours) = 181 hours.

What to do with discrepancies? You don't need to do anything with them. This is just a purely arithmetic discrepancy. According to Article 129, Article 99 and Article 91 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation, where the concepts of salary and overtime work are spelled out, these discrepancies cannot in any way affect the employee’s salary. But the accountant of a company with a six-day schedule must keep accurate data.
