For shift work, the accounting of hours worked is done cumulatively for the entire month, rather than the standard eight hours per day. This was reminded by the Ministry of Labor and Social Protection of the Population of the Republic of Kazakhstan... reports the website infohub.kz.
How to calculate salary? Under this work format, Kazakhstani workers are assigned a fixed monthly salary. To determine the cost of one hour of work, this salary is divided by the standard working hours established by the production calendar for a specific month.
Since the number of working days and hours may vary each month, the calculated hourly rate is not constant either. It changes monthly depending on the official standard working time.
Can you get a day off due to heat? Earlier, the Ministry of Labor reported that Kazakhstan's labor legislation does not provide for automatic reduction of the working day, introduction of additional days off, or transition to remote work due to abnormal weather. However, under unfavorable climatic conditions, the employer has the right, by agreement of the parties, to change the work schedule or format.
In turn, an employee can also approach management with a proposal to change the schedule, set flexible working hours, or temporarily switch to a remote format.
At the same time, if working conditions pose a real threat, refusal to perform work cannot be considered a violation of labor discipline.
Earlier, Kursiv wrote that Kazakhstani citizens need up to 320 thousand tenge per person to not feel poor.
