Shift work - work in two, three or four shifts - is introduced in cases where the duration of the production process exceeds the permissible duration of daily work, as well as in order to more efficiently use equipment, increase the volume of products or services provided.
When working in shifts, each group of workers must work within the established working hours in accordance with the shift schedule. Labor Code of the Russian Federation
dated December 30, 2001 N 197-FZ

Article 103 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation regulates the relationship between employee and employer related to shift work. The norm defines this term and reveals its main specifics.
Shift work concept
The norm means shift work, the time of which exceeds the standard 8-hour working day. The need for it arises due to the specifics of the production process, when in eight hours it is impossible to ensure the normal functioning of the equipment at the enterprise or the effective solution of the assigned tasks.
According to the shift norm there may be:
- 2;
- 3;
- 4.
During each shift, only one group of workers is used, into which the workforce is divided. The time during which she performs her duties sets the shift schedule. The rest of the groups rest during this period. When the first one finishes her shift, the second one replaces her. And so with all groups in turn.
In practice, the mode is most often used:
- industrial enterprises;
- management companies;
- public catering;
- trading companies;
- security companies;
- transport companies;
- medical organizations.
Important! Although the regime is widespread in government departments (Ministry of Internal Affairs, Ministry of Emergency Situations), Article 103 of the Labor Code regulates their activities only partially. The fact is that civil service is regulated by industry legislation.

When to administer
The article names the following as the goals of introducing the regime:
- continuous maintenance of the production process, the duration of which exceeds the normal working day;
- effective use of industrial equipment;
- increasing the volume of products produced by the enterprise or services provided.
In this case, the employer coordinates the shift schedule and the issue of its introduction with the representative body of employees (that is, the trade union). The provisions of local regulations are also taken into account - after all, they may prohibit a shift schedule.
Important! Although the employer agrees on the introduction of a shift schedule with the trade union, the latter’s disagreement with such a decision does not entail its cancellation. Article 103 of the Labor Code contains wording about “taking into account opinions”, and not about strict compliance with the requirements of the representative body.
How things work in practice
In practice, the introduction of a shift schedule consists of the following stages:
- Coordination of innovation with the trade union. At this stage, the employer brings the decision to the representative body and considers its objections and wishes.
- Publication of a local act. After considering the innovation in the trade union, the employer issues a normative act in which it fixes the possibility of introducing fixed-term work.
- Conclusion of a collective agreement. A collective agreement is concluded with employees, which stipulates the possibility of introducing a regime.
- Drawing up schedules. The last stage of introducing the regime is the preparation of schedules that distribute workers among shifts.
The Labor Code suggests attaching schedules to the collective agreement. The article in question contains the wording “as a rule”. In practice, this means that it is not at all necessary to attach schedules - the employer can act in a different, more convenient way for him.
More about creating charts
Article 103 does not directly regulate the procedure for creating schedules. The rules that regulate the procedure are “scattered” across various acts (some of them were adopted back in the Soviet period and are partially still in effect). Of course, when using the article in practice, they also need to be taken into account.
Here are the basic rules for creating charts:
- Accounting for employees who have the right to a shortened shift. These include minors, disabled people, and persons who have reached a certain age. The issue is settled by Article 94 of the Labor Code.
- Features of the regime in hazardous production. Its duration should not be more than 8 hours for a 36-hour work week and more than 6 hours for a 30-hour week. The issue is also regulated by Article 94.
- Other factors. It is necessary to take into account the duration of past shifts, rest, and night work. The issues are regulated by Articles 95-96 and 110.
It is also necessary to take into account the provisions of the Decree of the State Committee of Labor of the USSR and the Presidium of the All-Union Central Council of Trade Unions dated October 25, 1974 No. 298/P-22, which regulate a number of issues (for example, the right to a shortened shift in some conditions).
Another commentary on Article 103 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation
1. After the cure of a certain category of persons who were being treated in a psychiatric hospital, namely persons who committed a crime, whose mental disorder occurred after they committed the crime, when imposing a punishment or when resuming its execution, grounds appear for imposing a punishment or continuing to serve the sentence for crime committed.
2. Taking into account the fact that the compulsory treatment procedure itself significantly limits the rights and freedoms of citizens, the law provides for the need to count the time of application of compulsory medical measures, equating one day of stay in a psychiatric hospital to one day of imprisonment.
3. Treatment in a psychiatric hospital, as a rule, takes quite a long time. For this reason, in law enforcement practice the question often arises about the statute of limitations for criminal prosecution and execution of a conviction in relation to recovered persons. In such situations, it is necessary to take into account that, as defined in Art. 103 of the Criminal Code, the procedure for counting the time of compulsory medical measures is applied taking into account the statute of limitations for criminal prosecution established by Art. Art. 78, 94 CC. In cases where a person is sentenced not to imprisonment, it is necessary to be guided by the provisions of Art. 72 of the Criminal Code.
Other grounds for the release of recovered persons are also checked (Articles 80.1, 81, 84, 90, 92 of the Criminal Code).
