Deputy Yaroslav Nilov, who heads the State Duma Committee on Labor, Social Policy and Protection of Veterans’ Rights, plans to submit a bill to the State Duma on July 29 that would limit irregular workload to 120 hours per year. This was reported by TASS.
“We are implementing draft laws that include amendments to determine the maximum number of working hours within working hours, determining that the possibility of employers abusing the irregular working day in a way that would harm their legitimate power and interests has been eliminated. The explanatory note reads an irregular working day (not exceeding 120 hours per year).
Changes are planned to the Russian Labor Code.
Svetlana Bessarab, formerly a member of the State Duma Committee on Labor, Social Policy and Veterans Affairs statedIt is also noted that shortening the working week does not negatively affect labor productivity and even benefits employers in some cases. He also noted the positive aspects of this idea, but noted that the initiative will not be discussed until the end of the special operation.
