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 working 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).

In accordance with Art. 112 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation The Government of the Russian Federation has the right to transfer two days off from the number of days off that coincide with non-working January holidays to other days in the next calendar year. In addition, part 5 of this article allows the Government of the Russian Federation to transfer weekends to other days in order to rationally use weekends and other non-working days.

• calculation for a 40-hour work week:
  (8 hours x 21 days) - 1 hour = 167 hours;
• 
  (7.2 hours x 21 days) - 1 hour = 150.2 hours;
• 
  (4.8 hours x 21 days) - 1 hour = 99.8 hours.

In 2018, 247 working days, including 6 working days reduced by one hour. Calculation of standard working hours for 2018 with a five-day work week with two days off:

• with a 24-hour work week:
  (4.8 hours x 247 days - 6 hours) = 1179.6 hours.
