Holiday 2011: Feel the Difference

In 2010, Russia joined the convention of the International Labor Organization, which entailed some changes in the system of calculating leave, which entered into force already the following year. So the next holiday of 2011 remains equal to 28 calendar days, which, it is worth noting, is somewhat more than the convention says.

Employees may not notice any particular changes. The main thing now is that the 2011 vacation is protected not only by the Russian state, but also by the international community. Now the employee is entitled to compulsory rest in the first year for 14 days, and the remaining two weeks he can go for a walk not later than 18 months from the day of coming to work after the first leave. Many arose a logical question: so what happens with the second part of the weekend, if they are not used in the specified period? In the Labor Code of Russia, time-limits for compensatory time off are not prescribed. This indicates that the remaining days will not burn. This procedure is prescribed in the Convention, which does not contradict the domestic legislation and, in turn, does not violate the provisions of the international agreement.

In turn, the adoption of this document ensures that the release of 2011 and subsequent years will meet world standards. Now the legislative power of the Russian Federation can not change the provisions of the Labor Code into the worst for the employee side.

Do not think that there will not be any changes, because the vacation of 2011 will become mandatory for all working citizens. His first 14 days can not be exchanged for compensation. This option will only be with the remaining two weeks, which, analysts assume, will still burn after 18 months. In other words, it is now not possible to accumulate a leave for several years. The state in voluntary-compulsory form will induce citizens to rest.

When going on vacation, the employee is obliged to notify the head about this not less than 14 days before the beginning. The latter, in turn, is obliged to pay the vacation not later than 3 days before it starts. If the manager does not comply with these rules, the employee can go on vacation at any time convenient for him according to the organization's schedule. The standard vacation calculation in 2011 did not undergo any special changes and is also derived from the average earnings in the last 12 months. It is interesting that some organizations prescribe in their employment contracts other conditions for the conduct and payment of leave, which may contradict the adopted labor legislation and the Convention of the International Labor Organization. In this case, you can safely apply the labor protection inspection.

It is worth noting that the 2011 holiday is calculated and paid for by the number of working days. In other words, if he gets on holidays, they are not included in the calculation. Thus, vacation can formally remain the same, but in fact increase for several calendar days, which are recognized throughout the country as holiday and holiday.

Russia, trying to meet the European standards of organization of work and rest, actually forces people to leave. For someone, this state of affairs is more than profitable, but still a significant part of the population does not have the opportunity to afford to go on vacation. The reason for this was either too low salaries, or gray payments in envelopes. In the latter case, the employee is given leave equal to the white part of his income, which is much lower than his earnings. This situation stimulates people to work constantly, which has a very negative effect on their well-being. Until the system of unofficial activities of companies is destroyed, such organization of leave will be met only by protest from employees.
