On 29 June 2017, the Federal Law dated 18 June 2017
No. 125 "On Changes to the Russian Federation Labor Code"
came into force (the Law).
Recent developments
The Law elaborates on and extends particular provisions of the
Russian Federation Labor Code (the Labor Code) regarding part-time
work, payment for overtime work and work on days off and public
holidays.
According to the amendments, employers can establish a part-time
working day together with a part-time working week for employees,
as well as divide a working day into pieces. As a reminder, under
the current version of Article 93 of the Labor Code, employers can
only establish either a part-time working week or a part-time
working day. According to the Law part-time work can be established
both for an unlimited term and fixed term, as agreed upon by the
parties.
