Part-time employment

Part-time employment is the performance of work,which does not require the use of the whole working day by man. An example of such work may be the performance by a highly skilled worker of a simpler work that does not require special education. Part-employment sub-items are: hidden unemployment and involuntary part-time employment. With hidden unemployment, the principle of seasonal work or the provision of work for a while is applied. In this case, despite the fact that a person works, he does not receive any benefits under the state law, and can not hope for continuation of work. Unintentional part-time employment means work on a permanent basis, but without the possibility to fully work out a working day. This situation arises from the lack of jobs, with the possibility of simplifying the work and for a part of the working time to hire someone else.

Shift work

The exchangeable schedule is a full-fledged workerschedule, which can change the time of work on different working days. Usually shift work is used in factories and enterprises that can not stop the workflow. Also examples can be work: in the hospital, on the railroad. The permission to use the enterprise for a replacement schedule is prescribed in the legislation by a special item and has a number of restrictions compared to a normal working day. The change schedule provides for limiting the number of working hours per week, there should be no more than 40. Two shifts in a row are strictly prohibited. In general, such a schedule is no different from the usual work. The employee has the right to the benefits laid down to him by law, and also receives extra charges when working in night shifts. Most often, workers overlap each other's time, that is, they take up work before the removable one leaves. The main requirement of the legislation in relation to shift schedules: to make the maximum break between working shifts, to allocate one day off in 5-7 days, and also to acquaint with the shift schedule of the employee one month before the introduction of the schedule in action. Legislation does not regulate the duration of the shift, this issue is decided by the employer , the restriction is imposed only on the category of people with disabilities. It is worth remembering that work only at night, for example, a watchman, is not replaceable. Such a performance of work is the division of the working day into parts.
