HOW MUCH IS PAID IF WE WORK ON HOLIDAY

Due to the coincidence of May Day with Holy Saturday, the Easter weekend in 2021 will be one day longer. According to the Labor Code, when an official holiday, such as May 1, coincides with a Saturday or Sunday, the first working day or first working days after them are non-working.

However, when working in non-working May 4, the work is paid with an increase only if it is overtime, as the increase is 75%. This was announced by the press center of the Executive Agency "General Labor Inspectorate".

A minimum double wage is paid to all employees on official holidays, such as the four days for celebrating Easter - from April 30 (Good Friday) to May 3 (Monday). If the work on a holiday is also overtime, then the wage reaches four times the amount, as it is also paid with a 100% increase.

The work on an official holiday, on a day off or in absentia is always extraordinary in case of daytime reporting of working hours and in case of irregular working hours. There is no overtime work on holidays and weekends, laid down on a schedule with the introduction of summary reporting of working hours. The payment of overtime work in this regime of accounting for working time is at the end of the period for which it was introduced, with a 50% increase.

The schedule for summary reporting of working hours must be approved by name for the entire period for which it is introduced. When overtime work is required, it must be assigned by an order issued in advance by the employer.
