Employees are recruited to work on weekends and non-working holidays by written order of the employer.

Carrying out labor activities on non-working days and holidays is prohibited by law; in some cases this is permitted, but only with the written consent of the citizen himself. Women who have children under the age of three, as well as workers with disabilities, can be involved in work on weekends only if they are allowed to do so for health reasons. In this case, these persons must be informed in writing that they may refuse to carry out work activities at a specified time.

Recruitment

The legislation states that citizens are not allowed on weekends and non-working holidays, this is exactly what Art. 113 Labor Code of the Russian Federation. Despite this, in some cases, citizens may be involved by the manager in the performance of labor duties, if this will allow further maintenance of normal work at the enterprise and in all its divisions.

In order to attract a citizen to work on a non-working or holiday, a written consent must be obtained from him. Otherwise, this will be considered a violation because it is possible to oblige an employee to perform work on holidays and weekends without his consent only under the circumstances provided for in Art. 113 Labor Code of the Russian Federation.

The performance of work duties by a citizen during non-working hours always occurs only on the basis of an order or order from the head of the organization, with which the employee must be familiarized with signature.

Employee consent is not required

Despite the fact that hiring on weekends and even holidays is prohibited by law and is carried out only with the consent of the employee, which he gives in writing, Art. 113 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation provides for a number of cases when work at a specified time is allowed even without his consent. This happens under the following circumstances:

In the event of preventing an accident or disaster at work, as well as to eliminate all their consequences;

When there is a risk of damage to the organization’s property;

To carry out work related to emergency situations and martial law;

If there is a threat to the life of the population.

In the event that these facts are absent, the manager has the right to involve employees in work outside of working hours only with their consent.

Attracting to work disabled people and women with children under 3 years of age

Women who have children under three years of age, as well as people with disabilities, can carry out work duties outside of working hours only if this is not prohibited for them due to health reasons and is confirmed by a specialist’s opinion. In addition, these citizens must be familiarized with this against signature, as Art. 113 Labor Code of the Russian Federation.

Payment

When performing work functions on non-working days, employees are entitled to increased pay, which increases at least twice. If a citizen himself, who worked on a day off or on a holiday, wants to take another day for rest, then it should be provided to him. In this case, the time of his work will be paid as for a regular working day.

Since work on weekends and holidays is prohibited, but is permitted in exceptional cases, accordingly, the payment is increased at least twice. That is why the provisions of Art. 113, 153 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation are inextricably linked, which allows the employer to correctly calculate the salary of an employee who worked at the specified time.

Written consent

Work outside of working hours is permitted only with the written consent of the employee. This is stated in Part 2 of Art. 113 Labor Code of the Russian Federation. In this case, there is no specific template, so the application can be written by the employee addressed to his boss in free form.

A sample form for consent to work on weekends is as follows:

To the director of LLC ____________

from citizen ____________

job title______________

Statement

I inform you of my consent to work on a non-working day 00.00.00, I have no contraindications for health, which is confirmed by medical report No. ________.

Date_______ Signature_________ (transcript)

Overtime work

Work carried out by a citizen in excess of the time limit is called overtime. Persons who have given written consent to this type of work are allowed to participate in this type of work. In addition, the employer in this case should take into account the opinion of the trade union.

Employees may be involved in overtime work without written consent in cases of disaster prevention, industrial accidents and in emergency situations when there is a threat to the lives of the population. The same circumstances are indicated in Art. 113 Labor Code of the Russian Federation. Overtime work is not intended for persons under 18 years of age and pregnant women, and women who have children under the age of three and disabled citizens can be involved in it only if it is not contraindicated for them due to health reasons, which is confirmed by a medical document.

Chief's order

Involving a person to work on a day off must necessarily be based on the order of management. In this case, the will of the boss can be formalized in the form of an order in relation to a specific person. Of particular importance here are the circumstances under which a person goes to work. They must be truly justified and legal.

According to Part 8 of Art. 113 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation, employees are recruited to work on weekends or holidays only with a written order from the manager, although there is no specific form for such a document. It is compiled as follows:

LLC ____________ (name of organization)

Order No.________

"On attraction to work on non-working days"

00.00.00, city ___________

Due to production needs on the territory of LLC _____________, I order:

1. To oblige an employee of the mechanical department ____________ (full name) to come to work to carry out work duties on a holiday 00.00.00. In accordance with the Labor Code, pay double the salary.

2. The HR department specialist will familiarize citizen ______ (full name) with this order against signature.

Reasons:

Head of the mechanical department of LLC____ (full name);

Employee consent.

Acquainted________ (signature) _________(transcript)

Interpretation

Art. 113 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation with commentaries provides a complete interpretation of all cases when it is allowed to involve employees in work activities during non-working hours. However, each part of the article interprets this differently:

The first states that work on non-working days and holidays is prohibited;

The second talks about unforeseen circumstances under which a boss can involve an employee in work on weekends, but only with the latter’s consent;

The third gives the employer the opportunity, without the consent of a subordinate, to involve him in work on weekends and holidays, but only in certain cases;

The fourth states that the work of creative persons during non-working hours occurs only in the manner prescribed in the collective or other agreement;

The fifth lists other categories of workers who can be involved in work outside of working hours only with the consent of the trade union;

The sixth provides for the possibility of carrying out labor activities by persons whose activities cannot be terminated and are mandatory for the population, for example, work in a production workshop, at an emergency station, in a water protection area;

The seventh establishes the rights of disabled people and women who have children under three years of age; they can refuse to work during non-working hours and holidays in writing;

The eighth is final and assigns to the employer the obligation to issue an order or instruction if he engages subordinates to work on non-working days, indicating the level of increased pay.

Situations when work activities prohibited on weekends become permitted are specified in Art. 113 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation with comments, and examples here may be cases when certain categories of persons with whom an employment contract is concluded for several months may be involved in carrying out labor functions during non-working hours and holidays with their written consent.

I don't agree to work on weekends

Cases when people do not agree to work on weekends and holidays always occur in practice. Here the boss can no longer influence the subordinate. Because recruitment to work at this time will be illegal, except for those exceptional cases indicated by Article 113 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation. The prohibition of work on weekends and non-working holidays directly justifies the fact that recruitment to work in this situation is unacceptable and can only occur with the consent of the person himself, which he will formalize in writing, and only if this is necessary for the continuation of normal work. activities of the organization.

Allowed work on weekends

In addition to those cases where the performance of labor functions during non-working hours is unacceptable, there are types of work when their suspension is simply not possible and is therefore permitted. On weekends the following activities are allowed:

Manufacturing enterprises, for example, work on the shop floor in a plant or factory;

Organizations that serve the entire population, such as emergency and gas services.

Urgent repair and unloading work is also permitted.

Arbitrage practice

Despite the fact that all managers try to comply with labor laws, situations sometimes occur when employees, believing that their rights have been violated, turn to the judicial authorities for protection. And very often such processes win.

Example: a citizen with a disability worked at an enterprise as a cleaner. On the weekend I asked him to go out and collect the debris left over from welding work. At the same time, the employer did not take into account the fact that the person is a person with disabilities. The citizen refused to work on the specified day, and his boss fired him for absenteeism. The employee went to court.

When considering the case materials, the court explained that the termination of the employment contract was illegal because the citizen is disabled, which means he can be involved in work activities outside of working hours, unless this is prohibited for health reasons in accordance with a medical report, as indicated by the article 113 Labor Code of the Russian Federation. Cases of hiring workers on non-working days without their consent are expressly stated in the code. Therefore, the dismissal of the person was unfounded. As a result, the citizen was reinstated in the organization with compensation for moral damage and payment for forced absenteeism.
