In the section of labor and social protection of the Russian Federation, the conditions of remuneration for labor on holidays have been clarified. About it informs agency “Sever-Press”.

According to the department, if the employee’s work shift falls on a holiday, then it will be paid in double amount. However, instead of double wages, the employee may choose to take time off.

If a Russian works on a five-day basis, then his work on holidays also provides for double wages. He also has the right to choose a day off. It is clarified that on holidays employees can be involved in work only with their consent in writing and by order of the employer.

Non-working holidays are not grounds for lowering salaries, the ministry recalled. Additional remuneration for work on holidays is given additional remuneration.
