To the question of remuneration for shift workers

Abstract

The salary received by an employee under an employment contract is, as a rule, his only source of livelihood. Within the framework of this article, some problems of remuneration of workers working in shifts are considered. The article concludes that the abuse by employers of the freedom granted to them by the Labor Code of the Russian Federation leads to a significant deterioration in the position of shift workers compared to ordinary workers. At the same time, differentiation norms should not be interpreted arbitrarily in violation of the Constitution of the Russian Federation and fundamental norms of labor law, and should be discriminatory. It is concluded that the freedom of the employer as a party to an employment contract, even within the framework of the institution of remuneration, should be limited within certain limits. The ways of improving the current labor legislation are proposed.
