Comments to Art. 153 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation


1. According to Art. 37 of the Constitution of the Russian Federation, every employee is guaranteed days off and holidays by the state. Work on weekends and non-working holidays is generally prohibited. The employer has the right to involve the employee to work on a weekend or holiday only on the grounds established in Art. 113 TK.

Commentary on Article 153 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation

1. On the procedure for engaging in work on weekends and public holidays, see Art. 113 TC and commentary to it.

2. The commented article establishes two types of compensation for work on weekends and non-working holidays: increased pay and the provision of another day of rest.

The right to choose the type of compensation belongs to the employee. Since engagement to work on weekends and non-working holidays, as a rule, is possible only with the written consent of the employee, it is advisable to determine the type of compensation in it. In the absence of a written application by the employee to provide him with another day of rest as compensation for work on weekends or non-working holidays, an increased payment is made.

3. When an employee chooses an increased payment, it is made at least in double the amount. The procedure for determining the amount of payment depends on the system of remuneration:

with a piecework payment system, piecework rates are applied, increased by at least two times;

with a time-based payment system using hourly or daily tariff rates, the corresponding rates increase at least twice;

with a time-based wage system using monthly salaries, if work on a weekend or non-working holiday was carried out within the monthly norm of working hours, an additional payment in the amount of at least an hourly or daily tariff rate is established to the official salary;

with a time-based wage system using monthly salaries, if work on a weekend or non-working holiday was carried out in excess of the monthly norm of working time, an additional payment in the amount of at least double the hourly or daily tariff rate is established to the official salary.

The specific amount of payment for work on weekends or non-working holidays is established in accordance with part 2 of the commented article in the collective agreement, local regulatory act or in the employment contract. If such an amount is not established by contract, payment should be made in accordance with the commented article in double size.

In any case, hours actually worked on a weekend or non-working holiday are subject to increased payment.

4. When an employee chooses compensation in the form of providing another day of rest, the time for using this day must be agreed with the employer. The use of another day of rest without the consent of the employer should be considered as a violation of labor discipline by the employee.

Since work on a weekend or non-working holiday deprives the employee of the opportunity to use these days for rest, for each day of such work, regardless of the number of hours actually worked, an additional day of rest should be provided. An additional day of rest is not payable.

5. Remuneration for work on weekends and non-working holidays is established in such a way that, together with it and other compensatory and incentive payments, the amount of wages of an employee who has fully worked out the norm of working hours and fulfilled labor standards is not lower than the minimum wage ( see Determination of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation of May 2, 2010 N 8-B10-20).

6. Special rules for remuneration on weekends and non-working holidays are established for creative workers in the media, cinematography organizations, television and video crews, theaters, theater and concert organizations, circuses and other persons involved in the creation and (or) performance ( exhibiting) works whose professions and positions are established by Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation of April 28, 2007 N 252. On the one hand, the nature of the activities of such workers and such organizations involves their work on weekends and holidays, on the other hand, these workers are to other degrees, the guarantee norms of labor legislation apply. Based on this, part 4 of the commented article provides that the increase in the wages of these persons on weekends and non-working holidays is established by an employment contract, a collective agreement or local regulations of the organization, but is not limited to a minimum amount.

7. In accordance with paragraph 3 of Art. 11 of the Federal Law of June 7, 2013 N 108-FZ "On the preparation and holding in the Russian Federation of the 2018 FIFA World Cup, the 2017 FIFA Confederations Cup and amendments to certain legislative acts of the Russian Federation" recruitment and remuneration on weekends and non-working holidays employees of FIFA, FIFA subsidiaries, FIFA counterparties, confederations, national football associations, the Russian Football Union, the Russia-2018 Organizing Committee, its subsidiaries, whose labor activity is related to the implementation of events, are allowed in the manner prescribed collective agreement, local normative act, labor contract. At the same time, the requirements of Art. Art. 113 and 153 of the Labor Code.

Another commentary on Article 153 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation

The amount of payment for work on a day off and a non-working holiday (for the time from 0 to 24 hours) cannot be lower than that established in part 1 of this article.

Payment for work on a day off and a non-working holiday for employees who have a fixed salary has certain specifics. Such employees are paid for work on holidays or weekends:

Not less than in the amount of a single hourly or daily rate in addition to the salary, if work on such a day is included in the normal working hours of a given month;

Not less than double the daily or hourly rate in addition to the salary, if the work on such a day was carried out in excess of the monthly norm of working time.

In order to determine whether to pay in a single or double amount for work on a weekend and a non-working holiday for employees who have a salary, it is necessary to find out whether work was carried out on a holiday within or in excess of the monthly norm of working time. It depends on the specifics of the organization's activities and it does not matter the norm of working days and hours established by the production calendar.

According to paragraph 1 of the clarification of the USSR State Committee for Labor and the Presidium of the All-Union Central Council of Trade Unions dated 08.08.1966 N 13 / P-21, which, according to Art. 423 of the Labor Code continues to operate, work on holidays:

1) is performed within the monthly norm of working hours and is paid in a single amount:

In continuously operating organizations;

Organizations that use the summarized accounting of working hours. Recall that the summarized accounting of working time, in particular, can be used in shift work, in organizations using the rotational method of organizing work, as well as on public transport;

2) is performed in excess of the monthly norm of working time and is paid double in all other organizations, regardless of whether the working days are fully worked out or not in a particular month.

Work on weekends and non-working holidays is not considered as overtime if it does not exceed the duration of daily work established by the internal labor regulations for this category of employees. Hours worked in excess of this duration are considered overtime. However, work during such hours is paid in the same amount as work on a holiday, i.e. not less than double the amount for each hour of overtime work.

The specific amounts of payment for work on weekends and non-working holidays in accordance with part 2 of the commented article are not established by the employer independently, but by a collective agreement, a local regulatory act adopted taking into account the opinion of the representative body of employees or an employment contract, which corresponds to the basic principles of labor law on a combination of state and contractual regulation of labor relations and other relations directly related to them, social partnership, including the right for the participation of employees, employers, their associations in the contractual regulation of labor relations and other relations directly related to them.

With the consent of an employee who has worked a day off or a non-working holiday, he may be granted another day of rest. At the same time, work on a holiday is paid in a single amount, and a day of rest is not subject to payment.

The Labor Code also provides for the possibility of payment for work on weekends and non-working holidays for a number of categories of creative workers on the basis of an employment contract, a collective agreement or a local regulatory act of the organization. List of professions and positions of creative workers in the media, cinematography organizations, television and video crews, theaters, theater and concert organizations, circuses and other persons involved in the creation and (or) performance (exhibition) of works, the specifics of the labor activity of which are established by the Labor Code code of the Russian Federation, approved by Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation of April 28, 2007 N 252.

The Labor Inspectorate, relying on the decision of the Constitutional Court of June 28, 2018 No. 26-P, explains that the findings of the Court apply to all employers and employees without exception, and not only to personnel of military units. That is, now, when calculating wages for work on a day off or a holiday, the Labor Code also prescribes that all compensation and incentive payments due to the employee be taken into account.

Everything was served by a trial in which the employees of the military unit received compensation for working on a day off without taking into account all incentive payments.

Why did the wages on weekends and holidays for some workers turn out to be lower than the wages on a normal working day? The Supreme Court of the Russian Federation incorrectly interpreted the provisions of Art. 153, which was pointed out by the Constitutional Court, which determined the interpretation of Article 153 of the Labor Code, where incentive and compensation payments should be taken into account when paying for work on weekends and holidays. This interpretation is mandatory.

The publication is aimed at students of advanced training courses and professional retraining in the following areas:

The Constitutional Court recognized as erroneous the position of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation and the Supreme Court on the interpretation of Article 153 of the Labor Code. The precedent for consideration was the complaints of civil servants at the military unit, whose complaints were combined into one proceeding (Decree of the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation of June 28, 2018 N 26-P "On the case of checking the constitutionality of the first part of Article 153 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation in connection with complaints of citizens D.V. Apukhtin, K.K. Bagirov and others").

About wages in the Russian Federation on holidays and weekends

The right to a fair wage and equal remuneration for work of equal value, without distinction of any kind, is recognized as one of the most important rights in the world of work.

  • the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (Article 23),
  • International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights (Article 7),
  • and the European Social Charter (Revised) adopted at the City of Strasbourg on 3 May 1996 (Article 4 of Part II).

Everyone has the right to remuneration for work without any discrimination and not below the minimum wage established by federal law (Article 1, Part 1; Articles 7 and 18; Article 37, Part 3); all are equal before the law and the court; the state guarantees equality of rights and freedoms of man and citizen (Article 19, parts 1 and 2).

The legal regulation of the remuneration of labor of persons working under an employment contract should guarantee the establishment of wages in the amount determined by objective criteria that reflect

  • employee qualification,
  • the nature and content of his labor activity

and taking into account the conditions for its implementation, which together determine the amount of money paid to the employee necessary for the normal reproduction of the labor force.

Work in case of deviation of working conditions must be paid at an increased rate

The determination of a specific wage should not only be based on the quantity and quality of labor, but also take into account the need for a real increase in wages when working conditions deviate from normal (Decree of the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation of December 7, 2017 N 38-P, Determination of the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation dated December 8, 2011 N 1622-О-О).

Working on holidays and weekends

Everyone has the right to rest, and a person working under an employment contract is guaranteed the length of working hours established by federal law, weekends and holidays, paid annual leave, - the Labor Code of the Russian Federation, in order to provide employees with a real opportunity to use the weekends and non-working holidays provided for by law for recreation, introduces a general ban on work on such days. At the same time, Article 113 of this Code lists exceptional cases when engagement to work is allowed, but only under certain conditions, including if there is a written order from the employer and, as a rule, the written consent of employees.

Payroll on holidays and weekends

In order to compensate employees for increased labor costs due to an increase in working hours and a reduction in rest time, which is necessary, first of all, to restore strength and working capacity, Article 153 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation establishes that work on a day off or non-working holiday is paid at least double size:

  • pieceworkers - at least at double piecework rates;
  • employees whose work is paid at daily and hourly tariff rates - in the amount of at least double the daily or hourly tariff rate;
  • employees receiving a salary (official salary) - in the amount of at least a single daily or hourly rate (part of the salary (official salary) per day or hour of work) in excess of the salary (official salary),
  • if work on a weekend or non-working holiday was carried out within the monthly norm of working time, and in the amount of at least a double daily or hourly rate (part of the salary (official salary) for a day or hour of work) in excess of the salary (official salary), if the work was done in excess monthly norm of working hours (part one).

Specific amounts of payment for work on a weekend or non-working holiday may be established

  • collective agreement,
  • local regulation,
  • employment contract (part two).

An increased payment is made to all employees for hours actually worked on a weekend or non-working holiday, and if a part of the working day (shift) falls on a weekend or non-working holiday, hours actually worked on a weekend or non-working holiday are paid in an increased amount ( from 0 hours to 24 hours) (part three).

Article 153 of the Labor Code and the Collective Agreement on incentive payments and compensations

Today, there is a position of the Constitutional Court (Determination of the Constitutional Court of December 8, 2011 N 1622-O-O) regarding the additional accrual of incentive and compensation payments to employees who have worked on weekends and holidays. According to this, payment for work on such days, performed in excess of the monthly norm of working time, should be calculated at least in double the amount with the use of compensation and incentive payments.

"Art. 153 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation has no restrictions on the payment of incentives and compensations"

The absence in Article 153 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation of a direct indication of the use of compensation and incentive payments when paying for work on a weekend or non-working holiday does not mean that such payments are not subject to accrual when calculating wages for these days (determinations of the Primorsky Regional Court dated February 24, 2016 of the year in case N 33-1564 and of April 12, 2016 in case N 33-3495).

The same requirements apply to civilian employees of military units.

Why did the courts begin to refuse incentive payments to civil servants at military units?

On September 20, 2016, the Order of the Ministry of Defense of Russia of August 18, 2016 N 515 "Regulations on the system of remuneration of civilian personnel of military units and organizations of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation" came into force. In this Regulation, an incomplete part of Article 153 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation was reproduced. As a result, the departmental normative act misinterpreted article 153, where it linked payments for (overtime) work on holidays and weekends without taking into account compensation and incentive payments (i.e. based solely on the tariff rate, salary, official salary).

Citizens began to challenge this decision in the courts. The Supreme Court took the side of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation. So the decision of the Supreme Court became a signal for the entire judicial practice.

Meanwhile, the Supreme Court made a distortion in the interpretation of Article 153 of the Labor Code, linking its provisions with Article 129 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation. This article assumes payment for work on a day off or non-working holiday (including work performed in excess of the monthly norm of working time) at least twice the amount of the tariff part of wages (tariff rate, salary, official salary) excluding compensatory, incentive and social payments .

The Supreme Court unreasonably banned incentive payments for work on holidays and weekends

As a result of such a turn, the position of the courts of all instances erroneously began to conclude that the calculation of any compensation and incentive payments for work on a weekend or non-working holiday is not provided for by these interrelated legal provisions, and therefore, when calculating wages for an employee receiving a salary (official salary) , for the period in which he performed work on a weekend or non-working holiday, payment must be made solely on the basis of the double salary (official salary) of the employee, without taking into account compensatory and incentive payments, in particular, for length of service, maritime allowance, bonus payments, regional coefficient, northern allowance (definitions dated November 21, 2016 N 56-KG16-22, dated December 5, 2016 N 56-KG16-29, N 56-KG16-34 and N 56-KG16-35, dated December 12, 2016 N 56-KG16-28, N 56-KG16-30 and N 56-KG16-31, dated February 6, 2017 N 56-KG16-44).

Incentive pay for work on weekends and holidays

Due to the incorrect interpretation of the provisions of the Labor Code, namely Art. 153 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation, the amount of wages for working on a holiday or day off turned out to be lower than the amount of wages on a normal working day.

The provisions of Article 153 regarding the expression "higher pay" in relation to pay for hours actually worked on a weekend or non-working holiday, clearly implies that work on a weekend or non-working holiday should be paid in a larger amount than similar work done on Common workday.

"Work on weekends or public holidays must be unequivocally paid at a higher rate"

The increase in the amount of wages in such cases is intended to compensate for the increased labor costs of the employee due to the implementation of work during the time intended for rest, and therefore, being a guarantee of fair remuneration in conditions that deviate from normal, should apply to all persons working under an employment contract, regardless from the working time regime established for them and the system of remuneration.

Compensatory and incentive payments provided for within the framework of a specific remuneration system, applied in order to maximize the consideration of various factors characterizing the content, nature and conditions of work, other objective and subjective parameters of labor activity, are accrued to the salary (official salary) or the tariff rate of the employee and are integral part of his remuneration, and therefore, must, within the meaning of parts one and two of Article 135 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation, be taken into account by the employer when determining the employee’s wages and accrued for all periods of work, including weekends and non-working holidays, otherwise it would mean arbitrary the application of the remuneration system in force in the relevant organization, and the goal of establishing compensation and incentive payments would not be achieved.

The answer to the question is given by phone.

Does everything described in the article apply to a 2x2 schedule and if a person works in an LLC

The answer to the question is given by phone.


Work on a weekend or non-working holiday is paid at least twice the amount:

pieceworkers - at least at double piecework rates;

employees whose work is paid at daily and hourly tariff rates - in the amount of at least double the daily or hourly tariff rate;

employees receiving a salary (official salary) - in the amount of at least a single daily or hourly rate (part of the salary (official salary) per day or hour of work) in excess of the salary (official salary), if work on a weekend or non-working holiday was carried out within monthly norm of working hours, and in the amount of at least double the daily or hourly rate (part of the salary (official salary) per day or hour of work) in excess of the salary (official salary), if the work was performed in excess of the monthly norm of working hours.

Specific amounts of remuneration for work on a weekend or non-working holiday may be established by a collective agreement, a local normative act adopted taking into account the opinion of the representative body of workers, and an employment contract.

An increased amount of payment is made to all employees for the hours actually worked on a weekend or non-working holiday. If part of the working day (shift) falls on a weekend or non-working holiday, the hours actually worked on the weekend or non-working holiday (from 0 hours to 24 hours) are paid at an increased rate.

At the request of an employee who worked on a weekend or non-working holiday, he may be granted another day of rest. In this case, work on a weekend or non-working holiday is paid in a single amount, and the day of rest is not subject to payment.

Remuneration of work on weekends and non-working holidays for creative workers of the media, cinematography organizations, television and video filming groups, theaters, theater and concert organizations, circuses and other persons involved in the creation and (or) performance (exhibition) of works, in accordance with lists of jobs, professions, positions of these employees, approved by the Government of the Russian Federation, taking into account the opinion of the Russian tripartite commission for the regulation of social and labor relations, can be determined on the basis of a collective agreement, a local normative act, an employment contract.

Commentary on Art. 153 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation

1. Compensation established by law for work on weekends and non-working holidays may be in the form of additional payment or provision of additional rest time.

2. Legislatively establishes only the lowest limit of wages for work on weekends and non-working holidays - separately for pieceworkers and separately for time workers, taking into account the varieties of the time wage system (hourly, daily or monthly).

3. Specific amounts of remuneration for work on weekends and non-working holidays are established collectively and individually by agreement, by a local regulatory act, adopted taking into account the opinion of the representative body of workers (see).

Second commentary on Article 153 of the Labor Code

1. This article has not undergone significant changes. The amount of payment for work on weekends and non-working holidays may be provided for in agreements, collective and labor contracts, but in all cases it cannot be lower than that provided for in Art. 153.

2. Workers-pieceworkers, products produced for all actual working hours falling on a weekend or non-working holiday are paid at least at double piece rates. At least double the amount of this product (performed operations) is also paid in the case when increased piece rates are applied for its payment (for example, with a piece-progressive system).

3. The rules for remuneration for work on weekends and non-working holidays under the time-based remuneration system differ depending on what type of tariff rate is used for remuneration. If payment is made on the basis of an hourly or daily tariff rate, then when calculating earnings, they are taken into account at least twice the amount of time actually worked on holidays.

For employees receiving a monthly salary, hourly or daily rates must be determined for work on weekends and non-working holidays. In addition, in this case it is also important to establish whether the work was carried out within the monthly norm of working time or in excess of this norm. The amount of payment for this work depends on this circumstance. If the work was included in the norm of the working time of the given month, then in addition to the salary, payment for such work is made at least in the amount of a single hourly or daily rate. Otherwise, the issue is resolved when work on weekends and non-working holidays was carried out in excess of the monthly norm of working time. In this case, in addition to the salary, the employee must be paid at least twice the daily rate, or the hours actually worked on the holiday must be paid at the double hourly rate.

4. Article 153 provides for the possibility of replacing the increased payment on a day off and non-working holiday with another day of rest. How is the issue of payment resolved in this case? Payment for work on a non-working holiday is made in a single amount, and the day of rest is not subject to payment.
