The production calendar for 2018 shows the standard working hours for months, quarters and 2018 as a whole for 40-, 36- and 24-hour work weeks, as well as the number of working days and days off for a five-day work week with two days off.

According to Article 112 of the Labor Code Russian Federation(hereinafter referred to as the Labor Code of the Russian Federation) (as amended by the Federal Law of April 23, 2012 No. 35-FZ) non-working holidays in the Russian Federation are:

• January 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 8 — New Year holidays;
• January 7—Christmas Day;
• February 23 - Defender of the Fatherland Day;
• March 8—International Women's Day;
• May 1 - Spring and Labor Day;
• May 9 - Victory Day;
• June 12—Russia Day;
• November 4 is National Unity Day.

The Labor Code of the Russian Federation establishes that if a day off coincides with a non-working holiday, the day off is transferred to the next working day after the holiday. Thus, in 2018, weekends are postponed:

• from Sunday 4 November to Monday 5 November.

The exception is weekends that coincide with non-working holidays in January. 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.

Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation dated October 14, 2017 No. 1250 provides for the transfer of days off in 2018:

• from Saturday 6 January for Friday March 9;
• from Sunday January 7 to Wednesday May 2;
• from Saturday 28 April to Monday 30 April;
• from Saturday June 9 to Monday June 11;
• from Saturday 29 December to Monday 31 December.

In accordance with the “Procedure for calculating the standard working time for certain calendar periods time (month, quarter, year) depending on the established duration of working hours per week,” approved by order of the Ministry of Health and Social Development of Russia dated August 13, 2009 No. 588n, this norm is calculated according to the calculated schedule of a five-day working week with two days off on Saturday and Sunday, based on Duration of daily work (shift):

• with a 40-hour work week - 8 hours;
• with a 36-hour work week - 7.2 hours;
• with a 24-hour work week - 4.8 hours.

The length of the working day or shift immediately preceding a non-working holiday is reduced by one hour. Moreover, if a day off is moved to such a working day, then that day off, which becomes a working day, is reduced by 1 hour. In 2018, working hours are reduced by one hour on the following days:

• February 22;
• March 7;
• April 28;
• May 8;
• the 9th of June;
• December 29th.

The standard working time calculated in the specified order applies to all work and rest regimes.

An example of calculating the standard working time in December 2018 with a five-day work week with two days off (initial data: 21 working days, on December 29 the working day was reduced by 1 hour):

• 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 40-hour work week:
  (8 hours x 247 days - 6 hours) = 1970 hours;
• with a 36-hour work week:
  (7.2 hours x 247 days - 6 hours) = 1772.4 hours;
• with a 24-hour work week:
  (4.8 hours x 247 days - 6 hours) = 1179.6 hours.

Any accountant needs to have a production calendar for 2018 on hand. After all, it is on the basis of this calendar that the standard working time for the next year is determined. Moreover, the Russian production calendar for 2018 with weekends and holidays will allow you to distribute working days, keep time sheets and control working hours. In this material you can view and download the production calendar for 2018 with a five-day and six-day working week.

Production calendar: what is it

The concept of “production calendar” is inextricably linked with working time. After all, the production calendar marks all working and non-working days (weekends and holidays). Therefore, based on the production calendar, organizations and individual entrepreneurs can organize the working hours of their employees in 2018.

For ease of use, the production calendar contains both general quarterly information about the number of working days and weekends, as well as information for each month. If we talk about an accountant, then this information allows him to accurately and quickly calculate wages, pay sick leave, calculate vacation or create a work schedule. As for employees, they can choose the most favorable period for vacation. In other words, the production calendar for 2018 is a universal document that can become the basis for the rational distribution of working time and for maintaining a time sheet in the next year.

Such a concept as a “production calendar” is not approved by the legislation of the Russian Federation. That’s why they don’t call it “in public”. Among other names of the production calendar there are, for example:

• Working days calendar;
• Time calendar;
• Labor calendar;
• Work calendar;
• Working time calendar;
• Working hours calendar;
• Calendar of annual working hours.

Approval of the production calendar for 2018

The production calendar for 2018 is not approved as an official document. There is no federal law, nor a government decree, the annex to which would be a production calendar for the next year available for viewing and downloading.

At the same time, Article 112 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation defines non-working holidays, and the Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation of October 14, 2017 No. 1250 “On the transfer of weekends in 2018”. These regulatory legal acts are the basis for the formation of the production calendar for 2018 with weekends and holidays.

Non-working holidays in 2018 according to the Labor Code of the Russian Federation

Non-working holidays in the Russian Federation are:

• January 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 8 – New Year;
• January 7 – Christmas;

• March 8 – International Women's Day;
• May 1 – Spring and Labor Day;
• May 9 – Victory Day;
• June 12 – Russia Day;
• November 4 is National Unity Day.

As you can see, the weekends of January 6 and 7 (Saturday and Sunday) 2018, coinciding with non-working holidays, have been moved to March 9 and May 2, respectively. Rest days from Saturday 28 April, Saturday 9 June and Saturday 29 December have been moved to Monday 30 April, Monday 11 June and Monday 31 December respectively. Taking into account such postponements, the 2018 calendar includes six long weekends and holidays:

• from April 29 to May 2 (4 days for the Spring and Labor Festival);
• from June 10 to 12 (3 days to celebrate Russia Day);
• from November 3 to 5 (3 days, dedicated to the Day national unity).

Five-day and six-day working weeks: working hours in 2018

In 2018, everyone involved in the “five-day week” will work in the rhythm indicated above. For those working on a six-day week, March 9, April 30, June 11 and December 31, 2018 will remain working days, since the transfer of weekends to these dates is planned from Saturdays, coinciding with non-working holidays, and for the “six-day week” Saturday is not a day off. Therefore, the number of working days, weekends and holidays for these work modes in 2018 will vary.

Production calendars with a five-day and six-day work schedule will also have their own characteristics.

Production calendar for 2018 during the “five-day week”

Here is the production calendar for 2018 with a five-day working week.

You can see that every week, general rule, 5 working days and 2 days off (Saturday and Sunday).

Production calendar for 2018 with a six-day week

Now let's look at the production calendar for 2018 with a six-day work week with weekends and holidays. The production calendar shows the standard working hours for months, quarters and 2018 as a whole, as well as the number of working days and days off for a six-day work week with one day off.

Using the links you can download the production calendar for 2018 with a six-day working week in a format suitable for you. It shows the standard working hours for months, quarters and 2018 as a whole, as well as the number of working days and days off for a six-day work week with one day off.

Working hours standards in 2018

Standard working hours for certain periods time is calculated according to the estimated schedule of a five-day work week with two days off on Saturday and Sunday based on the following duration of daily work (shift):

• with a 40-hour work week – 8 hours;
• if the working week is less than 40 hours, the number of hours obtained by dividing the established working week by five days.

On the eve of non-working holidays, working hours are reduced by 1 hour (Article 95 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation).

So, for example, in January 2018, with a five-day work week with two days off, there are 17 working days and 14 days off. Therefore, the working hours in January 2018 in Goa are:

• with a 40-hour work week – 136 hours (40 hours: 5 days × 17 days);
• with a 36-hour work week – 122.4 hours (36 hours: 5 days × 17 days);
• with a 24-hour work week – 81.6 hours (24 hours: 5 days × 17 days).

Obviously, all accountants and personnel officers need a production calendar for their work, because it contains all the necessary information about working days, weekends, non-working holidays, and working time standards established in a certain year.

You will learn what the production calendar for 2018 will be from our material.

Production calendar 2018 with holidays and weekends

All holidays that are non-working days are listed in the Labor Code. These include (Article 112 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation):

• New Year - January 1-6 and 8,
• Christmas – January 7,
• Defender of the Fatherland Day – February 23,
• International Women's Day - March 8,
• Spring and Labor Festival - May 1st,
• Victory Day – May 9,
• Russia Day – June 12,
• National Unity Day – November 4th.

All these dates are reflected in the 2018 calendar with holidays. According to the rules of the same Article 112 of the Labor Code, a holiday that coincides with a weekend is “shifted” to the working day immediately following the holiday. In 2018, such a day is Sunday, November 4, which means that Monday, November 5, will also be a non-working day.

But there is an exception to this rule, which applies to New Year’s “vacations”: days from January 1 to 8, coinciding with weekends, can be transferred to other days of the year, as a rule, they are added to other holidays, thereby “lengthening” them and changing the working day calendar. For example, in 2017, due to January 1 and 7, which coincided with the weekend, the February and May holidays increased by 1 day (Resolution of the Government of the Russian Federation dated August 4, 2016 No. 756).

What transfers are offered in 2018? At the suggestion of the Ministry of Labor, a decree of the Government of the Russian Federation dated October 14, 2017 No. 1250 was prepared, according to which the 2018 production calendar contains the following weekends:

• New Year and Christmas “vacations” will last from December 30, 2017 to January 8, 2018,
• “holiday” weekends from January 6 and 7 are moved to March 9 and May 2, respectively,
• It was proposed to move holidays from Saturdays April 28, June 9 and December 29, 2018 to weekdays April 30, June 11 and December 31, 2018, so as not to break up the “long” weekend.

If the Government adopts this version of the resolution, then this is how everyone who works on the “five-day week” will rest. For those working on a six-day week, March 9, April 30, June 11 and December 31 will remain working days, since the transfer of the weekend to these dates is planned from Saturdays that coincide with non-working holidays, and for the “six-day week” Saturday is not a day off.

Timesheet calendar for 2018: production time standards during the “five-day week”

The standard working time is calculated according to the schedule of a five-day working week with Saturdays and Sundays off, based on the duration of daily work or shift (Order of the Ministry of Health and Social Development of the Russian Federation dated August 13, 2009 No. 588n). This calculation procedure also applies to the “six-day” period.

For a “five-day” week, the timesheet calendar for 2018 indicates the following annual norms of working time:

• with a 40-hour week (8 hours a day) – 1970 hours,
• at 36 hours (7.2 hours per day) – 1772.4 hours,
• at 24-hour (4.8 hours per day) – 1179.6 hours.

The duration of work before the holidays, according to the 2018 calendar sheet, is reduced by an hour on February 22, March 7 and May 8. Also, working hours are reduced by 1 hour on working Saturdays April 28, June 9 and December 29, due to which the rest is transferred to Mondays.

The standard working time for any month is calculated as follows: the number of hours of the working week must be divided by 5, multiplied by the working days of the “five-day week” in a particular month and subtracted the hours by which work is reduced on pre-holiday days.

For example: the 2018 production calendar in June shows 20 working days, incl. 1 pre-holiday (June 9). Working hours in June with a 40-hour week will be 159 hours (40 hours: 5 days x 20 days - 1 hour).

The total number of working days during the “five-day week” in 2018 is 247, of which pre-holiday “shortened” days are 6, weekends including holidays are 118.

The 2018 production calendar with holidays for a five-day work week can be seen below.

Working time calendar for 2018 with a six-day work week

Working time standards for a “six-day week” in 2018, similar to a five-day week, cannot exceed 40 hours per week (Article 91 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation).

Pre-holiday working days will be reduced by an hour for those working six days a week on February 22, March 7, April 30, May 8, June 11, November 3, December 31.

Working days in a six-day week will be 299 days, and non-working days - 66 days.

The 2018 calendar with holidays and weekends (six day week) can be found in this post below.

Symbols in the 2018 calendar with holidays and weekends

Traditionally, weekends and holidays are marked on the calendar in a different color from weekdays, usually red. Pre-holiday days, when work should end 1 hour earlier, are marked with an asterisk.

The standard working time for 2018 is the total volume of days and hours to be worked for a certain period of time by each employee. It is convenient to track the standard using the production calendar. It provides monthly calculations of working days, weekends, holidays and norms of working hours for working weeks of different lengths. The basis for deriving standard values ​​is the provisions of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation and Order of the Ministry of Health dated August 13, 2009 No. 588n “On the procedure for calculating working time standards.”

Standard working hours 2018

Determining the working standard is necessary for making monthly payroll payments. If the amount of time worked according to the timesheet meets the standard, the employee can expect to receive the full amount of remuneration specified in the employment contract. If the hours worked are less than the norm, the amount of salary and related bonuses will be reduced in proportion to production.

Current standard working hours for 2018 – table:

The standard working time for the 2018 reporting year, broken down by month, varies due to the unequal length of working weeks for different categories of personnel. In the standard version, the weekly work rate is 40 hours (8 hours daily with two days off, one of which is on Sunday). For some groups of employees, the employer is required to establish a reduced working time - 36 hours per week or 24 hours (with daily work of 7.2 and 4.8 hours, respectively).

Independent calculation of the working standard may also be necessary if the enterprise employs minor workers. The limit values ​​for the duration of daily work for them are determined by Art. 94 Labor Code of the Russian Federation.

The monthly working hours for 2018 are lowest in January. This is due to long New Year holidays. There is one public holiday in February; before this date, the working day for all employees must be shortened by 1 hour.

The length of working hours is also affected by the postponement of weekends and holidays. For 2018, the list of such transfers was approved by the Government in Resolution No. 1250 dated October 14, 2017. The standard working hours for March 2018 takes into account the holiday and the transfer from January 6. Due to this, two additional days of rest and one shortened working day were formed during the month.

The work schedule in April was also adjusted by postponements. In May there are long weekend breaks that are typical for this month.

The working time standard for June 2018 contains a transfer of days off, implemented within one month. The hourly work standard is set taking into account public holiday June 12 and a shortened shift the day before (20 working days x 8 hours in each working day - 1 hour shortened before the holiday = 159 hours per month).

The working time standard in July 2018 does not have any “holiday” nuances; it reflects only full working days. Let's look at an example of calculating the July standard:

• in relation to a basic 40-hour week – 176 hours (22 working days x 8 hours of daily work);
• for a 36-hour weekly output, the standard is 158.4 hours (22 work days x 7.2 hours of work per day);
• with a 24-hour weekly norm, the hourly working time per month will be 105.6 hours (22 working days x 4.8 hours of daily work).

The standard working hours in August 2018 do not include holidays or shortened days. Additional days There is no rest even in September-October. There is one holiday in November, but before it there is no reduction in working hours. In December there is an intra-month transfer and 1 shortened day on the 29th.

Formula for calculating standard working hours

The standard working time for a specific month is calculated using the following algorithm:

Duration of the working week in hours / 5 x Number of working days in a particular month according to the production calendar for a five-day working week - Hours by which working hours were reduced in the month in question on pre-holiday dates.

The annual standard of working time is calculated in a similar way, only the number of all working days in a year and the total annual number of hours by which work is reduced on holidays are taken into account.

It should be taken into account that the normal length of the working week should not exceed 40 hours, including during the “six-day work week” (Article 91 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation).

Norm for cumulative accounting

When summarizing work time, the accountant must focus on the standards of the calculation interval approved at the enterprise, without linking it separately to each month. During one such interval, the employee’s timesheet may alternate between periods of overtime and underwork, and based on the total amount of hours for the required period, compliance with the standard is obtained.

For example, the standard working hours for 2018 in the date range from January to March with a 40-hour week are equal to 446 hours (136 hours + 151 hours + 159 hours). The employee’s timesheets for the indicated months recorded the following data on work:

• in January 122 hours against the norm of 136 hours;
• in February 159 hours against the standard of 151 hours;
• in March, 165 hours were worked, which is 6 hours higher than the base rate of 159 hours.

As a result, in 3 months the person worked the required 446 hours (122 + 159 + 165), there is no overtime, the employee will receive a salary in the required amount.
