There are often situations when a person takes on additional work, that is, switches to a combination of posts. Payment for labor and the norms of its implementation in this case are slightly modified in nature. What is the combination of professions and what does it eat with, let's look at this article.
Types of part-time work
An employee in a specific position has the right to include additional working hours in his schedule. In this case, the combination is of two types:
In the first case, we are talking about situations when a person is listed at the same time in two different organizations. Moreover, he can work both in different positions, and in similar ones.
If additional duties are assigned to an employee within the same company, then we are talking about such a concept as internal job combination. Payment for this kind of work is a separate conversation, we will touch it a bit later in the article.
Features of combination
Additional labor is as privileged as ordinary. So, a person who combines two positions has rights to bonuses, annual leave, sick leave and other benefits at each of the workplaces.
According to the Labor Code of the Russian Federation, when combining professions, the main workplace and additional should be allocated. This is determined by the place of storage of the work book. The organization in which this document is located will be considered the main workplace of an individual.
When accruing benefits, subsidies and other payments, the main and additional income for combining posts must be taken into account. Remuneration is made on an official basis, that is, on the basis of a contract concluded between the head and subordinate. Therefore, in each of the organizations personnel papers are kept with the mention of the fact that an individual is on a combination of posts.
By the way, the concept under consideration should be distinguished with the so-called substitution. In this case, we are talking about fulfilling the duties of an absent member of the enterprise, and not on the basis of additional labor, but instead of their main job. With this development of events, a person who has agreed to a replacement is paid a separate salary in accordance with this position.
Who is forbidden to work on combining?
Not all categories of citizens have the opportunity to get an additional job. Under the Labor Code (TC), a combination of posts cannot be formalized in such cases:
- If the employee is under 18 years old.
- Under hazardous or extremely difficult working conditions.
- If an individual is in the position of a judge, tax officer, Central Bank of Russia, etc.
Terms of labor
The transition of the employee to a combined schedule should be discussed individually with the head, after which all specified items are certified in the contract. First of all, the period for which the contract is concluded is of great importance. The agreement on the combination of posts should contain an exact date characterizing the period of completion of the additional labor of the employee. Or, the contract simply states that an individual will fulfill certain obligations within a conditional period (for example, while another specialist in this field will be on vacation).
If the previously agreed time was not enough for the employee to perform deputy work, the agreement between the parties is reviewed. It may be amended in the form of extension of the term combination. Otherwise, the cooperation is terminated.
There are also reverse situations when either of the parties decides to terminate the contract before its expiration. In this case, an additional agreement is required . The combination of posts is also canceled by the signing of the document by both parties, but there is one condition - the person who made such a decision must express his desire no later than 3 days in advance. The manager is obliged to inform the news by written notice, but the employee needs a statement addressed to the director. If the parties have reached a mutual agreement, the contract is terminated after the employer signs the relevant order.
Mode of operation
Before you apply for a combination of posts, you should also deal with the rights of the employee. And first of all, they are expressed in the norms of his working time. Any legally literate person should understand that combining is an additional work, therefore a simplified regime is drawn up for him. According to the legislation of the Russian Federation, the schedule standards for individuals who are in two positions at the same time should in no case be detrimental to their main place of work. Therefore, it is preferable that the work regime does not exceed 4 hours per day or 20 hours per week. If we take into consideration the monthly schedule of part-time work, then the additional hours should be no more than half of the main.
When printing an order on combining posts, the manager must indicate in him the work regime of a team member. It is important on the part of the employee to ensure that their legal rights are respected, that is, the schedule is not overtime. However, it should be understood that there are exceptions by which time standards can be changed. For example, the head has the right to appoint a subordinate full time at the time the latter is on the weekend or on vacation in relation to his main place of work. Also, a change in the schedule can be made on the basis that an individual is suspended for some time from his main duties. The reason may be a delay in payment of salary or temporary disability of an employee due to health problems.
Combination of posts: payment
The salary of the employee when combining is a moot point. On the one hand, there is no specific figure in the legislation of the Russian Federation to which it must comply. The amount of earnings is formed on the basis of the company's policy, as well as its financial situation. At the same time, the Labor Code states that payment for additional hours should not be lower than the minimum salary established by law. But here is a double-edged sword. Since the combination work, which is in the additional position, is characterized by an abbreviated schedule, the head can appoint a salary lower than the official minimum for the company employee.
Also, the earnings of an individual depend on the conditions on the basis of which a combination of professions (positions) was formalized. Piecework payment depends directly on the amount of work performed by him. For example, for a master, this may be the number of parts manufactured. As for the time wage, it is calculated on the basis of the period of working time. The more hours an employee was in the performance of his direct duties, the higher his income will be. Sometimes the leader sets his subordinates certain norms of the volume of work. In this case, the salary of the employee does not depend on the time spent. Decisive is the fact of the fulfillment or non-fulfillment of the norm of work. For them, the head determines the amount of cash payment.
What bonuses does an employee receive for overtime combining professions (positions)? Payment in this case may be supported by premiums or an additional interest rate.
Special conditions for paying salary when combined
Despite the fact that the additional workplace takes only a small fraction of the employee’s time, he is entitled to the same privileges as in the standard case. So, the organization is obliged, or at least can charge a member of its staff additional payments:
- For work on night shifts, as well as on weekends and holidays.
- For overtime work.
- For work experience.
Of course, all these nuances must be taken into account in the employment contract. Otherwise, work (and salary, therefore) will remain without official confirmation of the legal rights of a member of the organization’s staff. With this development of events, the contract between the employee and the manager will be active only in words, which does not guarantee compliance with all of its points by both parties.
Registration of work on combining
In order for an individual to be able to take on additional responsibilities, it is necessary to solve the official side of the issue. It is associated with the preparation of various papers, as well as the establishment of agreement between the parties and the determination of their basic requirements for cooperation. Therefore, it is very important for the manager and subordinate to know how to arrange a combination of posts in order to avoid time delays and other embarrassments. So, this process, in fact, is simple and involves several stages:
- Preparation of a vacant post.
- Drafting by a potential employee of a written consent to part-time work.
- Registration of an employment contract. In addition, an additional agreement to it is being prepared.
- The exit order on behalf of the head of the organization.
Vacancy training
The first item of the plan is a formal operation, which is necessary so that the tax inspectorate does not have any complaints at the next visit to the company. Before an employee begins to write a job application, a new vacancy should appear in the staffing table. It should be borne in mind that if an individual takes on additional responsibilities due to the departure of another employee on vacation, then he will not be able to apply for his place. A position is considered vacant only if it is completely vacant.
Drawing up a written consent of the employee
It is worth noting that this stage of the transition to the combination mode does not have to be carried out with the submission of the employee. In principle, the initiative can be taken by the head of the department in which the employee will be registered. To do this, he compiles a memorandum with a proposal to apply for a certain employee combination of posts. Labor Code of the Russian Federation (Labor Code of the Russian Federation) implies that this document must be signed by the applicant for the vacant position.
If the consent is drawn up with the submission of the employee himself, then he writes a statement addressed to the head of the department with a request to entrust him with additional duties.
Registration of an employment contract and an additional agreement to it
In order for the leader and subordinate to be able to start cooperation, they need to discuss all the details of this process. If both parties are satisfied, then a contract is drawn up. However, before this, all the discussed nuances are recorded in such a document as an additional agreement. The combination of posts can be formalized only after indicating in it such data:
- Type of work entrusted.
- Work schedule.
- Main responsibilities.
- Term of relevance of an additional position.
The exit order on behalf of the head of the organization
With the preparatory stages, we figured out, now it remains only to go to the finish line. The basis for starting work in a new place for an employee is an order to combine posts. After approval of this paper, an individual becomes an official member of the organization’s staff. The order is prepared by the head on the basis of a previously drawn up agreement to the employment contract and includes a listing of its main points. At the same time, the conditions for the payment of salary to the employee and its amount should be written in it.
If there is such a need, the leader includes in the order special conditions for cooperation. For example, they include additional liability (for cash, material assets, etc.). In the case when a combination of the director’s position is formalized, an individual may require the right to sign or make special decisions that affect the company's activities.
Documents required for part-time work
Provided that the employee agrees to assume additional responsibilities at his main place of work, the collection of documentation is not required, since all the necessary information about him has already been included in the personnel lists. However, if the combination will be external in nature, the situation changes slightly. An individual will have to perform all the same actions as with a standard admission to a vacant place. Therefore, before applying for a combination of posts, the applicant must collect the following list of documents:
- Passport.
- Information about the state pension insurance (SNILS).
- Certificate of education (diploma, certificate) - for professions that require special knowledge.
- A certificate informing about the conditions at the main place of work - when applying for a position with a difficult or potentially hazardous to the health nature of work.
SNILS is necessary for the head to be able to make contributions to the Pension Fund, which is subject to any wage. When combining posts, the deduction of taxes from employee income is the same as in the classic case. It should be recalled that you do not need to bring a work book. She remains in the organization providing the person with the main place of work.
Position application: sample
If registration takes place on the initiative of the employee, then he compiles a request for imposition of additional duties on him. This paper is compiled in the form of a statement containing the following items:
- Position, surname and initials of the head of the department / director of the organization (indicated on the right side).
- The name of the document (in this case it is indicated by the word "statement") and the date of its preparation. This information is located on the left side of the sheet. The purpose of the statement is also indicated by the phrase “on combining posts”.
- The main text of the application in the form of a request for additional responsibilities with clarification of the name of the vacancy and the estimated date of commencement of work
- FULL NAME. and the signature of the applicant. When applying to the same organization where the person is currently working, the main position should be indicated.
An additional agreement is prepared on the basis of just such a paper as an application for combining posts. A sample can be taken from the above example, or you can ask the personnel department.
Employer’s written offer
Registration of combination with the filing of the head also begins with his writing a document. The paper is drawn up almost similarly to the application of the applicant and contains the following items:
- A hat with the name of the organization, as well as full name leader.
- A line with the specification of the candidate for the position.
- Appeal to the applicant for a vacancy by name and patronymic.
- The text of the proposal, which clarifies such information: the period of cooperation, the duties that will characterize the work, and the salary for their implementation.
- Position of the head, his full name and signature.
Then, at the bottom of the paper, under the petition itself, the employee will need to add the line: “I agree (to) combine posts” and put his signature with the initials.
With free time, almost any individual can work in two places at the same time. This will allow you to gain additional experience. In addition, salary when combining posts makes it possible to increase your income.
