a shorter working week in Russia may lead to an increase in staff time or result in decreased revenues. The reduction in working hours will affect the competitiveness of the economy, says the rector of the Financial University under the government of the Russian Federation Alexander Safonov.
“In the current conditions, go to four-day workweek is premature,” citing a source TASS.
Working hours in Russia is considered hourly. If you divide the maximum stipulated by the labor law 40 hours, not five, but four days, the employment will increase.
“Before talking about the transition, as necessary to establish all of the business procedures, automate the work of the enterprise, to establish an effective system of management of the organization, including production, personnel and customer relationships,” explained Professor of the Department of corporate management of the Higher school of corporate management, Ranepa Elena yakhontova.
Experts pointed out that in the period of self-isolation, the Russians squandered of accumulation and, on the contrary, more willing to work if it will enhance earnings. Meanwhile, experts predict an increase in labor incomes of Russians to the end of the year. The Ministry said that in the third quarter, the growth rate of the number of unemployed people will decrease, and at the beginning of the fourth quarter, the situation will begin to stabilize.
