How is pay at night

The work of the staff overtime is rather strictly regulated by the Labor Code. In order to compensate employees for the inconvenience that they are experiencing, the legislation provides for a whole system of surcharges. Consider how wages are paid at night, what features it has.

Who is not allowed to be involved in night work?

To begin with, it should be said that the period under consideration is the period beginning at 22.00 and ending at 6.00. And there are categories of persons who are not allowed to such work:

- Citizens who are 18 years old have not yet fulfilled;

- pregnant women.

These provisions are legally fixed in the LC RF.

And for minors, even there are exceptions. If these persons are members of creative collectives (theatrical, cinematographic, circus) and participate in recreational activities, then they are allowed to work in the evening. Of course, with the observance of labor protection standards. It is noteworthy that coaches and professional athletes also fulfill their duties, when all the rest rest, but they have no privileges.

And who is attracted only with his consent?

The Labor Code specifies that individual workers may be recruited to work only with their consent to night work.

This list includes:

- women who have children up to 3 years of age;

- guardians of children up to 5 years;

- mothers (fathers) who do not have a spouse (spouse) and raise children under the age of 5;

- workers who have children with disabilities in their care;

- People with disabilities;

- workers caring for sick relatives or family members.

But this is not all - to involve in activities requires the written consent of such an employee. And he has the right to refuse to participate in the labor process at night, and this will not be followed by any punishment.

Principles of additional payments

Pay at night is necessarily higher than when working under standard conditions. Moreover, the amount of additional payments should be determined by the following documents: a collective agreement, an industry normative act, a separate protocol adopted taking into account the position of the trade union or an employment contract. Better, of course, if such records are contained in all such documents.

At the same time, no matter what tariffs are used in the normal mode, an extra charge for work at night , even in the minimum amount, but will be made. The state guarantees this right to every citizen. It is necessary to pay extra not less than 20% of the salary or the hourly rate of the tariff. Below this bar, you can not go down, followed closely by the labor inspection.

However, in some industries and so set quite high rates. For example, in housing and communal services and motor transport on the basis of certain sectoral tariff agreements, wages at night are made with a 40% surcharge to the tariff rate. Normal health workers - 50%, and in the ambulance in general 100%. In addition, the state insured employees in the sense that if different documents establish different payments, then the most favorable option is applied.

And how was it before?

Nevertheless, for all the apparent size of these additives, compared to the surcharges practiced during the Soviet era, all this produces a not very good impression. Judge for yourself: in the clothing and footwear industry, 50% of the tariff rate was paid in addition , and in the bakery and textile - all 75%.

It is noteworthy that night shifts (even they are organized in the enterprise and are not something extraordinary) also fall into this category. Overtime payments are one thing, pay at night is another. They can complement each other in case of unforeseen circumstances, but they never exclude.
