Last 12 calendar months. Calculation of vacation pay: we define average earnings in a new way

Duration of the billing period

To calculate average earnings, you first need to determine the billing period. The duration of the billing period for any payment is 12 calendar months preceding the period during which the employee retains his average earnings (Part 3 of Article 139 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation).

What is the calculation period equal to using vacation pay as an example (provided that the company did not set its own periods), see the table.

How to determine the billing period

Situation Billing period
The employee worked for the company for the last 12 calendar months and during this time he was paid a salary (other payments) 12 calendar months before vacation
The employee worked for the company for less than 12 calendar months From the date of employment to the month preceding the month in which the employee goes on vacation
An employee goes on vacation in the month of employment Time actually worked this month
The employee has not worked for the last 12 months and has not been paid a salary. The last 12 calendar months during which the employee was paid a salary
An employee goes on vacation from the first day of work There will be no settlement period as such in such a situation. Vacation pay must be calculated based on salary

Calculation period for calculating vacation pay

The employee has been working at the company since January 11, 2016. By agreement with the administration, from August 1, 2016, she is granted a leave of 28 calendar days. The company's leave regulations state that in such cases, the calculated period is the period from the moment the employee is hired until the moment he leaves.

Thus, to calculate the vacation pay due to an employee, the accountant must take her earnings for the period from January 11 to July 31, 2016.

Example in numbers
An employee of the organization was seriously injured. In accordance with the medical report, from August 25 to September 30, 2016, he was transferred to another, lower-paid job. During this period, the employee retains the average salary for his previous position. In this case, the calculation period will be from August 1, 2015 to July 31, 2016.

Which periods to exclude from the calculation

When calculating average earnings, keep in mind that only the actual time worked should be included in the calculation period. Exclude from the billing period (clause 5 of the Regulations, approved by Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation of December 24, 2007 No. 922):

Periods during which the employee, according to the law, retained his average earnings. For example, the time spent on a business trip (Article 167 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation);

Sick time;

Maternity leave time;

Vacation periods at your own expense, that is, without pay;

The time when an employee was provided with additional paid days off to care for disabled children and people with disabilities since childhood;

The period when the employee did not work due to downtime due to the fault of the organization or for reasons beyond the control of the organization and the employee (for example, due to the suspension of the organization or workshop);

The time when the employee did not participate in the strike, but due to it could not perform work;

Other periods when the employee did not work for reasons provided for by law.

Example in numbers
An employee of the organization went on a business trip on August 19, 2016. For the time when the employee was on a business trip, the organization retains his average salary.

The billing period is from August 1, 2015 to July 31, 2016. The employee did not complete it completely:

The time when the employee was sick, on vacation or on a business trip, the accountant excluded from the billing period. He also excluded amounts accrued during this time.

We will separately dwell on three issues that relate to weekends and holidays, as well as the situation when there were no working days at all in the billing period.

Holidays within a holiday. There is no need to exclude such days from the billing period (letter of the Ministry of Labor of Russia dated April 15, 2016 No. 14-1/B-351). Officials explained that it is necessary to exclude only the period for which the average salary was paid (clause 5 of Regulation No. 922). But holidays are not included in the number of vacation days and they are not paid (Article 120 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation). And it doesn’t matter whether the holiday falls at the beginning, end or middle of the vacation. For example, an employee was on vacation from December 28, 2015 to January 17, 2016. He was paid only for the days from December 28 to 31 and from January 9 to 17. January 1-8 are holidays. If such a vacation now falls into the billing period, only vacations need to be excluded from the calculation, but holidays - not.

Example in numbers
The employee has been on vacation since May 10 for 13 calendar days. The billing period is from May 1, 2015 to April 30, 2016. During this period, the employee was on vacation from December 28, 2015 to January 17, 2016. He had no other excluded periods, the employee’s salary did not change and amounted to 50,000 rubles. Let's calculate his vacation pay in two ways.

Method 1: exclude the entire period

29.3 days * 10 months + 29.3 days : 31 days * 27 days (for December 2015) + 29.3 days. : 31 days * 14 days (for January 2016) = 331.7517 days.

The amount of vacation pay will be equal to:

(50,000 rubles * 10 months + 50,000 rubles: 23 days? 19 days (for December 2015) + 50,000 rubles: 15 days * 10 days (for January 2016)): 331 ,7517 days * 13 days = 22,517.71 rub.

Method 2 (as they believe in the Ministry of Labor): we exclude only paid days, leaving January 1-8

The sum of calendar days attributable to time worked will be:

29.3 days * 10 months + 29.3 days : 31 days * 27 days (for December 2015) + 29.3 days. : 31 days * 22 days (for January 2016) = 339.3129 days.

The amount of vacation pay will be equal to:

(50,000 rubles * 10 months + 50,000 rubles: 23 days * 19 days (for December 2015) + 50,000 rubles: 15 days * 10 days (for January 2016)): 339 ,3129 days * 13 days = 22,015.93 rub.

If you follow the position of the Ministry of Labor, the employee will receive almost 500 rubles. less. This is more profitable for the company, and there will be no disputes with inspectors.

The business trip covers the weekend. If during the billing period the employee was on a business trip, it is necessary to exclude from it, including the days off that fell during the business trip (letter of the Ministry of Labor of Russia dated August 13, 2015 No. 14-1/B-608). And it doesn’t matter whether the employee worked on weekends or not. For example, an employee was on a business trip from March 17 to March 22. You need to exclude the entire period, including March 19 (Saturday) and March 20 (Sunday). Also, do not take into account the average earnings that the company accrued to the employee for four working days of the business trip - March 17-18 and March 21-22. Do not include in the calculation the daily allowance that the employee is entitled to for each day of travel, including weekends (clause 11 of the Regulations, approved by Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation of October 13, 2008 No. 749).

The billing period is empty. For example, an employee goes on vacation straight from maternity leave and does not have a single working day in the standard pay period. Then, to calculate vacation pay, you need to take 12 months before the maternity leave (letter of the Ministry of Labor of Russia dated November 25, 2015 No. 14-1/B-972). The same procedure applies in other similar situations.

Example in numbers
The employee has been on maternity leave since November 12, 2013, and then on child care leave. In August 2016, without going to work, she wrote an application for annual leave.

The standard billing period is 12 months before the vacation (from August 2016 to July 2016). But this time falls on maternity leave, when there was no income. Therefore, the accountant must take another payroll period in which the employee had accruals.

The correct option is to take 12 months before maternity leave (from November 2012 to October 2013). This was confirmed by the Ministry of Labor.

Some companies begin to count down 12 calendar months step by step until earnings appear.

In our example, before the vacation in 2016, as well as in 2015 and 2014, the employee had no income. This means that according to this option, to calculate vacation pay, you need to take the period from August 2013 to July 2014, excluding the time of maternity leave from it. This option, according to the Ministry of Labor, is incorrect.

If you followed the second option, recalculate the vacation pay already paid. And pay the employee the difference if it turns out to be in her favor. After all, if you underestimate average earnings, labor inspectors can fine you up to 50,000 rubles. (Article 5.27 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation).

If, on the contrary, the company overpaid the employee, then do not withhold anything from her. This is not a counting error. But you won't be fined for overpaying. Article 8 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation prohibits worsening the situation of workers in comparison with the standards guaranteed by law. You can improve it as much as you like.

If it turns out that even before the billing period the employee did not have actually worked days (accrued wages), when calculating, take into account the days worked in the month of the occurrence of the event, which is associated with maintaining the average earnings before the occurrence of this event (clause 7 of Regulation No. 922). Provided, of course, that during this time the employee has days worked.

Example in numbers
The employee has been working in the organization since August 15, 2016. From August 22 to August 26, 2016, he was on a business trip.

The accountant cannot take the standard billing period of 12 months, nor the period preceding the billing period, since the employee was not working in the organization at that time.

On this basis, the accountant determined the average salary that is retained by the employee during the business trip based on earnings for the period from August 15 to August 21, 2016.

2017

2016

Personal income tax Since 2016, personal income tax on vacation pay can be transferred until the end of the month. Until 2016, it was necessary on the day vacation pay was issued. However, compensation for unspent vacation must still be paid no later than the day following the dismissal.

Comparison with minimum wage

The average daily earnings cannot be lower than the minimum wage calculation for the month in which the employee goes on vacation.

Federal minimum wage (in the month when the employee goes on vacation): (if an employee works part-time, then the minimum wage must also be divided in half)

Number of calendar days (in the month when the employee goes on vacation):

Examples of using the calculator

The employee goes on vacation on August 15, 2018 for 20 days. He has been working since November 6, 2016 (earning 9,500 rubles). In December 2017, he received (officially) a New Year's bonus of 2,000 rubles (earnings of 12,000 rubles). In January 2017, I was sick for 7 days (earning 8,000 rubles). Salary 10,000 rubles.

The billing period, in this case, will be from August 2017 to July 2018 (inclusive), but since If the employee has worked for this organization for less than a full year, then the period will be from November 5, 2017 to July 31, 2018 (i.e., 3 months will be “net” in the earnings column).

92346.94 (amount of earnings) / 261 (sum of settlement days) = 353.82 rubles

Vacation pay calculation: 353.82 20 (vacation days) = 7076.39 rubles

The employee goes on vacation on May 25, 2018 for 7 days. He has been working since May 2, 2018 (earning 7,720 rubles).

The billing period, in this case, will be only one month. We exclude 1 day of start of work and 7 days, because the month was not fully worked out (i.e. 11 months will be “net” in the earnings column).

Average daily earnings will be: 8140.14 (amount of earnings) / 23 (sum of settlement days) = 353.92 rubles

Vacation pay calculation: 353.92 (average daily earnings) * 7 (vacation days) = 2477.43 rubles

Rules

From April 2, 2014 (and in 2014), a new coefficient for calculating vacation pay is in effect - 29.3 (previously it was 29.4).

What to do if your vacation started in one month and ended in another. All insurance premiums and personal income tax must be paid in full no later than three days before the start of the vacation. If there are deductions, then the personal income tax base is reduced by the entire amount of deductions due to the employee for the first month. There is no need to distribute deductions between months.

Personal income tax Since 2016, personal income tax on vacation pay can be transferred until the end of the month. Until 2016, it was necessary on the day vacation pay was issued.

An employee is entitled to compensation for 28 days of vacation if he has worked from 10.5 to 12.5 months (according to the rules of the People's Commissariat of Labor of the USSR dated April 30, 1930 No. 169).

Calculation of vacation pay in 2018

Amount of vacation pay: The amount of vacation pay is equal to the product of the average daily earnings by the number of paid calendar days of vacation. Average daily earnings: Average daily earnings are equal to earnings (salary, official bonuses) for the 12 months (payroll period) preceding the month the vacation began, divided by the number of calendar days in the payroll period.

Calculation of vacation pay in 2018 with excluded days. Example: An employee’s salary from June 1, 2017 to May 31, 2018 is 5,000 rubles. From June 1, 2017, the employee takes 28 days of vacation. The employee was ill for 10 calendar days - from March 14 to March 23 (in March 31 days of which 21 were worked) of 2018 inclusive

Vacation pay = salary: 29.3 days. *(M + 29.3 days : Kdn1 * Kotr1) * D

Vacation pay = salary [for 12 months. 5000*12=60 000] : days *(M + 29.3 days: Kdn1 * Kotr1 * D) = 4,893.45 rub.

D - number of calendar days of vacation.

M is the number of fully worked months in the billing period;

Kdn1... - the number of calendar days in months not fully worked;

Kotr1... - the number of calendar days in “incomplete” months falling on the time worked:

According to such a complex (but legal) scheme in small businesses, few people consider it; they often simply give vacation pay = salary and that’s it.

Days an employee works that are excluded from the calculation of vacation pay. This is when the employee was absent from the workplace:

  • received hospital benefits or maternity benefits (any hospital benefits (at the expense of the Social Insurance Fund or the employer) are also excluded from the calculation);
  • had the right to average earnings in accordance with labor legislation (was on vacation or on a business trip). Exception - the employee is entitled to average earnings during breaks to feed the child, but this time is not excluded from the billing period;
  • did not work due to downtime due to the fault of the employer or for reasons beyond the control of management or staff;
  • was released from work for other reasons provided for by law (for example, leave without pay).

In the case where an employee had no accrued salary for 12 months of the pay period or do they consist entirely of excluded periods? Then, to determine the average earnings, you need to take a period equal to the calculated one - 12 months that precede the excluded time.

Easier to use for calculations. The issue price is 1000 rubles per month. But for this price you can calculate and submit all 25 reports for employees via the Internet.

General rules for granting leave and paying compensation

An employee is entitled to paid leave every year. This refers to the working year, not the calendar year. The working year is also 12 full months. But unlike the calendar, it does not start on January 1, but when the person was enrolled in the state. For example, an employee started working on April 1, 2013. This means that his first working year will end on March 31, 2014. The second working year is the period from April 1, 2014 to March 31, 2016, etc.

The employee did not work out the vacation taken in advance. In the first year of work, the right to leave arises for the employee after six months of continuous service in the given company. At the same time, he can take the entire annual vacation, that is, all 28 calendar days at once (this is the standard vacation). But a person can quit without working for a year. Then he will have to return part of the vacation pay received to the company - Article 137 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation insists on this. Although there are exceptions to this rule - in particular, dismissal due to staff reduction.

The employee did not take the required vacation. If a person quits without using his legal leave, he is entitled to compensation. Money is paid for each day that the employee does not take time off. But without dismissal, you can replace with money only that part of the annual leave that exceeds 28 calendar days. Let's assume that every year an employee is entitled to a vacation of 35 calendar days. Then he can take 28 days off and receive compensation for the remaining 7. If the employee did not use 7 of the 28 days of rest due to him, then he will not be able to receive money instead.

Example. The employee was hired on November 17, 2014, and left on June 30, 2015. During this period he was on vacation for 14 calendar days. In total, the employee is entitled to 28 days of main leave and 7 days of additional leave.

The employee worked a full 7 months and an additional 14 days in November. This is less than half a month, so they are excluded from the calculation. Thus, he “earned” 20.42 days of vacation (35 days: 12 months x 7 months). Consequently, he is entitled to compensation for 6.42 days (20.42 – 14).

If you went on vacation on the first day of work?

Vacation will be the rate per shift multiplied by vacation days (quantity) (letter of the Ministry of Labor of Russia dated May 5, 2016 No. 14-1/B-429).

Holidays

Since holidays are not included or paid in the number of days of annual leave, there is no need to exclude them from the calculation. Let's say an employee was on vacation from February 16 to March 1, 2015. Meanwhile, February 23 is not included in the number of vacation days, like a holiday and a day off. And it must be taken into account when calculating calendar days attributable to time worked. Therefore, it is necessary to exclude the periods from February 16 to 22 and from February 24 to March 1.

Holiday non-working days that fell on the employee’s previous vacation must be included in the calculation of the current vacation (letter of the Ministry of Labor of Russia dated April 15, 2016 No. 14-1/B-351).

How long can a vacation last?

In Russia, a regular vacation, according to labor law, lasts 28 calendar days. In this case, the rest can be divided into parts, one of which must be at least 14 days. The remaining parts can be of any length. That is, the employee has the right to take 5 days (from Monday to Friday). Another option common in enterprises is not prohibited - a vacation of 9 days (from Saturday of one week to Sunday of another).

In this case, non-working holidays are not included in the number of calendar days of vacation and are not paid. Let’s say an employee is going to rest for 6 calendar days starting from June 8, 2015. This means that the last day of vacation will be June 14th. After all, June 12 is a holiday.

What is the billing period?

As a general rule, vacation pay is calculated based on the employee’s average earnings over the last 12 calendar months. That is, if a person plans to go on vacation in June 2015, then the calculation period for average earnings is from June 1, 2014 to May 31, 2015.

A different billing period may be established in the following cases.

If the employee has not yet worked for the company for 12 months. In this case, the calculation period will be the period of time during which the person is registered in the organization. For example, an employee joined the company on December 8, 2008. Since July 6, 2015, he has been granted annual leave. The billing period is from December 8, 2014 to June 30, 2015.

If a person got a job and took a vacation in the same month. Then the calculation period is the actual time worked. Let’s assume that an employee joined the organization on July 6, 2015 and asked for leave starting July 20. The billing period begins on July 6 and ends on July 19.

If the employee did not actually work during the last 12 months and was not paid a salary. Here we must take into account the last 12 calendar months during which the employee was paid a salary. Let's say that since March 14, 2012, a woman was first on maternity leave and then on parental leave. In March 2015, without going to work, she wrote an application for a two-week leave. The standard billing period - 12 months before vacation - falls on maternity leave, when there was no income. Therefore, you need to take the period from March 1, 2011 to February 28, 2012.

If it is more convenient for the company to establish a special billing period. However, in such a situation, each vacation pay will have to be calculated twice (for 12 months and for the established billing period) and the results must be compared. The fact is that vacation pay cannot be less than the amount calculated on the basis of annual earnings.

Which periods are taken into account when calculating length of service for vacation, and which are not?

Experience includes:

Time of actual work;

Intervals when a person did not work, but a place was reserved for him;

Forced absenteeism due to illegal dismissal or suspension from work and subsequent reinstatement;

Days when an employee could not work because he failed to undergo a mandatory medical examination through no fault of his own.

Let's say an employee quit in July 2015. By this time, he had been with the company for nine full months. But he was ill for six of them in total. Despite this, compensation for unused vacation must be calculated for all nine months. After all, during an illness, average earnings are maintained.

Thus, the employee is entitled to compensation for 21 days (28 days: 12 months x 9 months).

Please note: the period when a woman, while on maternity leave, works part-time is included in her vacation experience. The fact is that working part-time does not affect either the duration of annual leave or the calculation of seniority. This is indicated by Article 93 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation.

Experience does not include:

The time an employee is absent from work without good reason (including due to suspension from work under Article 76 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation);

Thus, the beginning of the second working year is delayed by 32 days (46 – 14). Hence the second working year for which vacation is due is from December 18, 2008 to May 15, 2015 inclusive (date of dismissal). From January 11 to January 20, the employee was on leave without pay for 10 days. This period is fully included in the length of service. In total, it turns out that the employee worked for 4 months and 28 days, which is rounded up to 5 months.

Thus, for the time worked in the second working year, the employee is entitled to compensation for 11.67 calendar days (28 days: 12 months x 5 months). And in just 39.67 calendar days (28 + 11.67).

If the employee quits before the end of his first working year, the calculation will be as follows.

Example. The employee was hired on February 2, 2015. From May 6 to June 7 inclusive, he was on leave without pay, and on June 15 he resigned. Annual paid leave in the company is standard 28 calendar days.

The period from February 2 to May 1 inclusive, this is three full months, was fully worked by the employee. In the period from May 2 to June 15 (the date of dismissal), the employee worked for 12 days. Plus, you need to include 14 days of vacation at your own expense in the calculation. The total is 26 days, which are rounded up to a full month.

Thus, compensation is due for 4 months or 9.33 days. (28 days: 12 months x 4 months).

It’s easier to use for calculations (without used) or this one (there is accounting there). The issue price is 750 rubles per month. But for this price you can calculate and submit all 25 reports for employees via the Internet.

Who is entitled to paid study leave?

A company is required to provide an employee with paid study leave if the following several conditions are met.

First: the educational institution has state accreditation. Second: employee receives education at this level for the first time. Third: the employee studies correspondence or evening departments. And fourth: successful studies(that is, the employee has no debts in the disciplines studied).

At the same time, the employer has the right to provide for paid study leave in the employment or collective agreement in other situations. For example, for workers receiving a second higher education or studying at a university without state accreditation.

How long can study leave last?

The duration of educational leave is determined based on the summons certificate issued by the educational institution. This period is set in calendar days and depends on what kind of education the employee receives - higher or secondary.

Types of paid study leaves (correspondence and evening studies)

Reason why leave is granted

Vacation period depending on education level

higher

average

Session in I and II courses

Session in III and subsequent courses

Preparation and defense of a diploma, as well as subsequent state exams

State exams (if the university does not provide for diploma defense)

When study leave is granted in accordance with internal company documents, a summons certificate is not required. In this case, the duration of the vacation is determined by agreement of the parties.

Please note: the company must pay for all calendar days of study leave, including non-working holidays. Let’s say an employee is granted study leave from May 22 to June 30, 2015 inclusive. This means that you need to pay for all 40 calendar days, including the holiday - June 12. Otherwise, study leave is paid according to the same rules as annual leave.

What the billing period may be, see above in the description of a regular vacation

To calculate the average salary, all types of payments provided for by the remuneration system and applied by the relevant employer are taken into account, regardless of the sources of these payments.

In any mode of operation, the average salary of an employee is calculated based on the salary actually accrued to him and the time he actually worked for the 12 calendar months preceding the period during which the employee retains his average salary. In this case, a calendar month is considered to be the period from the 1st to the 30th (31st) day of the corresponding month inclusive (in February - to the 28th (29th) day inclusive).

Average daily earnings for vacation pay and compensation for unused vacations are calculated for the last 12 calendar months by dividing the amount of accrued wages by 12 and by 29.3 (the average monthly number of calendar days).

The average daily earnings for payment of vacations granted in working days, in cases provided for by this Code, as well as for payment of compensation for unused vacations, are determined by dividing the amount of accrued wages by the number of working days according to the calendar of a six-day working week.

A collective agreement or local regulatory act may provide for other periods for calculating average wages, if this does not worsen the situation of employees.

The specifics of the procedure for calculating average wages established by this article are determined by the Government of the Russian Federation, taking into account the opinion of the Russian Tripartite Commission for the Regulation of Social and Labor Relations.

4. The calculation of the average salary of an employee, regardless of his mode of work, is based on the salary actually accrued to him and the time actually worked by him for the 12 calendar months preceding the period during which the employee retains his average salary. In this case, a calendar month is considered to be the period from the 1st to the 30th (31st) day of the corresponding month inclusive (in February - to the 28th (29th) day inclusive).

Average daily earnings for vacation pay and compensation for unused vacations are calculated for the last 12 calendar months.

5. When calculating average earnings, time is excluded from the calculation period, as well as amounts accrued during this time, if:

a) the employee retained his average earnings in accordance with the legislation of the Russian Federation, with the exception of breaks for feeding the child provided for by the labor legislation of the Russian Federation;

7. If the employee did not have actually accrued wages or actually worked days for the billing period and before the start of the billing period, the average earnings are determined based on the amount of wages actually accrued for the days actually worked by the employee in the month of occurrence of the event that is associated with the retention average earnings.

8. If the employee did not have actually accrued wages or actually worked days for the billing period, before the start of the billing period and before the occurrence of an event associated with maintaining the average earnings, the average earnings are determined based on the tariff rate established for him, salary (official salary ).

to pay for vacations and pay compensation for unused vacations;

for other cases provided for by the Labor Code of the Russian Federation, except for the case of determining the average earnings of workers for whom summarized recording of working time is established.

The average employee's earnings are determined by multiplying the average daily earnings by the number of days (calendar, working) in the period subject to payment.

Average daily earnings, except in cases of determining average earnings for vacation pay and payment of compensation for unused vacations, are calculated by dividing the amount of wages actually accrued for days worked in the billing period, including bonuses and remunerations taken into account in accordance with paragraph 15 of these Regulations, by the number of days actually worked during this period.

10. Average daily earnings for payment of vacations provided in calendar days and payment of compensation for unused vacations are calculated by dividing the amount of wages actually accrued for the billing period by 12 and by the average monthly number of calendar days (29.3).

If one or more months of the billing period are not fully worked out or time is excluded from it in accordance with paragraph 5 of these Regulations, the average daily earnings are calculated by dividing the amount of actually accrued wages for the billing period by the sum of the average monthly number of calendar days (29.3) , multiplied by the number of complete calendar months, and the number of calendar days in incomplete calendar months.

The number of calendar days in an incomplete calendar month is calculated by dividing the average monthly number of calendar days (29.3) by the number of calendar days of this month and multiplying by the number of calendar days falling on the time worked in this month.

11. Average daily earnings for payment of vacations provided in working days, as well as for payment of compensation for unused vacations, are calculated by dividing the amount of actually accrued wages by the number of working days according to the calendar of a 6-day working week.

12. When working on a part-time basis (part-time, part-time), the average daily earnings to pay for vacations and pay compensation for unused vacations are calculated in accordance with paragraphs 10 and 11 of these Regulations.

13. When determining the average earnings of an employee for whom a summarized recording of working time has been established, except for the cases of determining the average earnings for paying for vacations and paying compensation for unused vacations, the average hourly earnings are used.

Average hourly earnings are calculated by dividing the amount of wages actually accrued for hours worked in the billing period, including bonuses and remunerations taken into account in accordance with paragraph 15 of these Regulations, by the number of hours actually worked during this period.

Average earnings are determined by multiplying average hourly earnings by the number of working hours according to the employee’s schedule in the period subject to payment.

14. When determining the average earnings for payment of additional educational leaves, all calendar days (including non-working holidays) falling during the period of such leaves provided in accordance with the educational institution’s certificate are subject to payment.

monthly bonuses and rewards - actually accrued in the billing period, but not more than one payment for each indicator for each month of the billing period;

bonuses and remunerations for a period of work exceeding one month - actually accrued in the billing period for each indicator, if the duration of the period for which they are accrued does not exceed the duration of the billing period, and in the amount of the monthly part for each month of the billing period, if the duration of the period for which they are accrued exceeds the duration of the billing period;

remuneration based on the results of work for the year, a one-time remuneration for length of service (work experience), other remuneration based on the results of work for the year, accrued for the calendar year preceding the event - regardless of the time the remuneration was accrued.

If an employee has worked an incomplete working period for which bonuses and rewards are accrued, and they were accrued in proportion to the time worked, they are taken into account when determining average earnings based on the amounts actually accrued in the manner established by this paragraph.

16. When tariff rates, salaries (official salaries), and monetary remuneration increase in an organization (branch, structural unit), the average earnings of employees increase in the following order:

if the increase occurred during the billing period, payments taken into account when determining average earnings and accrued in the billing period for the period of time preceding the increase are increased by coefficients that are calculated by dividing the tariff rate, salary (official salary), monetary remuneration established in the month of the last increasing tariff rates, salaries (official salaries), monetary remuneration, by tariff rates, salaries (official salaries), monetary remuneration established in each month of the billing period;

(as amended by Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation dated November 11, 2009 N 916)

(see text in the previous edition)

if the increase occurred during the period of maintaining average earnings, part of the average earnings is increased from the date of increase in the tariff rate, salary (official salary), monetary remuneration until the end of the specified period.

If, when an organization (branch, structural unit) increases tariff rates, salaries (official salaries), monetary remuneration, the list of monthly payments to tariff rates, salaries (official salaries), monetary remuneration and (or) their amounts changes, average earnings increase by coefficients that are calculated by dividing the newly established tariff rates, salaries (official salaries), monetary remuneration and monthly payments by the previously established tariff rates, salaries (official salaries), monetary remuneration and monthly payments.

(paragraph introduced by Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation dated November 11, 2009 N 916)

When increasing average earnings, tariff rates, salaries (official salaries), monetary remuneration and payments established to tariff rates, salaries (official salaries), monetary remuneration in a fixed amount (interest, multiple), with the exception of payments established to tariff rates, are taken into account. salaries (official salaries), monetary remuneration in a range of values ​​(percentage, multiple).

When average earnings increase, payments taken into account when determining average earnings, established in absolute amounts, do not increase.

At the same time, in relation to payments established in a fixed amount and in an absolute amount, the procedure established by paragraph 16 of these Regulations applies.

18. In all cases, the average monthly earnings of an employee who has worked the full working hours during the billing period and fulfilled labor standards (job duties) cannot be less than the minimum wage established by federal law.

19. For persons working part-time, the average earnings are determined in the manner established by these Regulations.

When determining the 12-month period within which residence is established, taxpayers may have the following questions:
1. Should these 12 months fall within one calendar year?
2. Should these 12 months be calendar months?
3. On what date should the period of 12 months be determined?
Regarding the first question, we note that when determining a 12-month period, it does not matter whether the 12 months fall within the same calendar year or not. The main thing is that they go sequentially one after another (clause 2 of Article 207 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation).
Thus, the specified period may refer not only to the 12-month period of the current calendar year, but also to any continuous 12-month period, including those starting in one calendar year and continuing in another.
This is also explained by the regulatory authorities (Letters of the Ministry of Finance of Russia dated 04/26/2012 N 03-04-06/6-123, dated 04/05/2012 N 03-04-05/6-444, dated 07/14/2011 N 03-04-06/ 6-170, dated July 14, 2011 N 03-04-06/6-169, dated May 25, 2011 N 03-04-06/6-122, Federal Tax Service of Russia for Moscow dated October 2, 2009 N 20-15/3 /103021@, dated 04/28/2009 N 20-15/3/041871@).

For example, in order to determine on November 1 of the current year whether an individual is a tax resident of the Russian Federation, you need to consider the period from October 31 of the previous year to October 31 of the current year inclusive.

As for the second question, the answer to it, like the first question, will be negative. After all, paragraph 2 of Art. 207 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation does not contain a requirement that 12 consecutive months correspond to calendar months.
Therefore, it is not necessary that a period of 12 months begin, for example, on July 1, 2013 and end on June 30, 2014 (clauses 2, 5, article 6.1 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation).
The Ministry of Finance of Russia in its clarifications also indicates that 12 months do not have to be calendar months (Letters dated 03/26/2010 N 03-04-06/51, dated 10/29/2009 N 03-04-05-01/779, dated 07/17/2009 N 03-04-06-01/176, dated 07.25.2008 N 03-04-06-01/232, dated 06.10.2008 N 03-04-06-01/162, dated 05.05.2008 N 03-04- 06-01/115). Similar explanations are contained in Letters of the Federal Tax Service of Russia dated June 25, 2009 N 3-5-04/881@, Federal Tax Service of Russia for Moscow dated July 24, 2009 N 20-15/3/076408@.
Thus, we believe that when determining the tax status of an individual, any continuous 12-month period is taken into account.
However, we note that Moscow tax authorities in a number of Letters gave the opposite point of view, according to which it is necessary to take into account calendar months (Letters of the Federal Tax Service of Russia for Moscow dated 02.10.2009 N 20-15/3/103021@, dated 28.04.2009 N 20-15 /3/041871@, dated 01/30/2009 N 18-15/3/007427@, dated 12/29/2008 N 19-12/121898, dated 06/24/2008 N 28-10/059251, dated 04/02/2008 N 28-11 /031542). It is noteworthy that the Ministry of Finance of Russia expressed a similar position in one of its letters (Letter dated March 29, 2007 N 03-04-06-01/94).

For example, the Alpha organization will pay its employees a quarterly bonus on October 20, 2014. The specifics of the organization’s activities are related to the employees’ constant business trips abroad. Moreover, not every employee is actually on the territory of the Russian Federation for 183 or more calendar days within 12 consecutive months. This means that income in the form of bonuses paid to employees who are tax residents must be taxed at a rate of 13% (clause 1 of Article 224 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation), and to employees who are not tax residents - at a rate of 30% (clause 3 of Art. 224 Tax Code of the Russian Federation).
In turn, the Alpha organization is a tax agent and is obliged to calculate and withhold income from the amount of payments for each payment to employees (clauses 1, 4 of Article 226 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation). To do this, it is necessary to determine the tax status of each employee on the date of payment of income in the form of a bonus.
Thus, on October 20, 2014, the organization must determine the number of calendar days that each employee spent in the Russian Federation in the 12 months preceding this date. The specified 12-month period begins on October 20, 2013, and ends on October 19, 2014 (clause 2, 5, article 6.1 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation).

Note
You will learn more about who tax agents are and in what order they perform their duties in Chapter. 9 "Procedure for calculation and payment by tax agents." You will learn about rates in chapter. 7 "Tax rates".

As can be seen from the example, establishing the residence of an individual is necessary for correct calculation and payment to the budget.
Therefore, in our opinion, when determining the date that must be preceded by 12 consecutive months, one must proceed from the order of payment of the amount to the budget, namely:
1) if the tax on the income of an individual is withheld and paid to the budget by the tax agent before the expiration of the tax period, then the date from which the 12-month period must be counted back will be the date of payment of the income. In addition, see Letters of the Ministry of Finance of Russia dated July 14, 2011 N 03-04-06/6-170, dated July 14, 2011 N 03-04-06/6-169, dated May 19, 2011 N 03-04-06/6-117 , Federal Tax Service of Russia dated 08/30/2012 N OA-3-13/3157@, Federal Tax Service of Russia for Moscow dated 07/24/2009 N 20-15/3/076408@. At the same time, at the end of the year, the final tax status of the taxpayer is determined (Letters of the Ministry of Finance of Russia dated March 19, 2013 N 03-04-06/8402, Federal Tax Service of Russia for Moscow dated July 29, 2009 N 20-15/3/078295@);
2) if an individual pays tax on his income independently on time after the expiration of the tax period, then the tax status is calculated as of the end of the tax period. That is, the days the taxpayer is in the territory of the Russian Federation before the beginning of the tax period and after its end are not taken into account (Letters of the Ministry of Finance of Russia dated April 25, 2011 N 03-04-05/6-293, Federal Tax Service of Russia dated August 30, 2012 N OA-3-13/ 3157@).

The calculation of the average salary for determining vacation pay is based on the wages actually accrued to the employee and the time actually worked by him for 12 calendar months preceding the month in which the employee went on vacation (Article 139 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation). A similar rule is contained in clause 4 of Regulation No. 922 (Resolution of the Government of the Russian Federation of December 24, 2007 No. 922): the average daily earnings for vacation pay are calculated for the last 12 calendar months.

At the same time, when calculating average earnings, time is excluded from the calculation period, as well as amounts accrued during this time, if (clause 5 of Regulation No. 922):

a) the employee retained his average earnings in accordance with the legislation of the Russian Federation, with the exception of breaks for feeding the child;

b) the employee received temporary disability benefits or maternity benefits;

c) the employee did not work due to downtime due to the fault of the employer or for reasons beyond the control of the employer and employee;

d) the employee did not participate in the strike, but due to this strike he was not able to perform his work;

e) the employee was provided with additional paid days off to care for disabled children and people with disabilities since childhood;

f) the employee in other cases was released from work with full or partial retention of wages or without payment in accordance with the legislation of the Russian Federation.

Regulation No. 922 describes an algorithm for calculating average earnings if an employee, for one reason or another, did not have accrued wages for the last 12 months before going on vacation.

Situation

Calculation procedure

If the employee did not have actually accrued wages or actually worked days for the billing period or a period exceeding the billing period, or this period consisted of time excluded from the billing period in accordance with clause 5 of Regulation No. 922 (clause 6)

Average earnings are determined based on the amount of wages actually accrued for the previous period, equal to the estimated

If the employee did not have actual accrued wages or actually worked days during the billing period and before it began (clause 7)

Average earnings are determined based on the amount of wages actually accrued for days actually worked in the month of occurrence of the event that is associated with maintaining average earnings

If the employee did not have actual accrued wages or actually worked days for the billing period, before it began and before the occurrence of an event related to the preservation of average earnings (clause 8)

Average earnings are determined based on the tariff rate and salary established for the employee

The average daily earnings for vacation pay are calculated for the last 12 calendar months by dividing the amount of accrued wages by 12 and 29.3 (the average monthly number of calendar days). If in the billing period there were months that the employee did not work in full (or time was excluded from this period in accordance with clause 5 of Regulation No. 922), the average earnings are calculated according to the rules established by clause 10 of the said regulation: by dividing the amount actually accrued wages for the billing period by the sum of the average monthly number of calendar days (29.3), multiplied by the number of complete calendar months, and the number of calendar days in incomplete calendar months.

Despite the existing standards, in practice accountants have questions about for what period it is necessary to calculate vacation pay in a given situation.

Situation 1: another leave was granted immediately after maternity leave

Article 260 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation provides guarantees for women when establishing the priority for granting annual paid leave. In particular, before or immediately after maternity leave, or at the end of parental leave, a woman, at her request, may be granted annual paid leave, regardless of her length of service with a given employer.

Example 1.

The employee has been working in the institution since 2015. From January 14, 2019 to May 31, 2019, she was on maternity leave. Immediately after it, the woman submitted an application for another paid leave from 06/01/2019.

In this case, the general rules established by clauses 4, 5 of Regulation No. 922 apply. The period from 06/01/2018 to 05/31/2019 should be considered as the estimated period. In this case, it is necessary to exclude from the calculation period the time the employee is on maternity leave, as well as the amounts accrued for this period.

If we assume that in the period from 06/01/2018 until the onset of maternity leave, the employee did not have days to be excluded from the calculation period, the number of calendar days that must be taken into account when calculating the amount of vacation pay will be 217.39 days. (7 months (number of full months in the billing period) x 29.3 days + 13 days (number of calendar days in January) / 31 days x 29.3 days).

Example 2.

The employee has been working in the institution since 2015. From 01/14/2017 to 05/31/2017 she was on maternity leave, and from 06/01/2017 to 07/14/2019 - on maternity leave. On July 15, 2019, the woman planned to start work, but applied for another paid leave.

In the case under consideration, since the employee had no earnings during the 12 months before the next vacation (the time spent on maternity leave is excluded from the calculation period), it is necessary to use the norms of clause 6 of Regulation No. 922: the average earnings are determined based on the amount of wages actually accrued to the employee for the previous period equal to the calculated period, that is, for the period from 01/01/2016 to 12/31/2016 (Letter of the Ministry of Labor of the Russian Federation dated November 25, 2015 No. 14-1/B-972).

Situation 2: another leave was granted a month after maternity leave

Suppose the employee did not take advantage of the right to take another leave immediately after maternity leave, but went on annual paid leave two weeks, a month (two, three months) after the end of maternity leave. How to calculate average earnings in this case?

Example 3.

The employee has been working in the institution since 2015. The chronology of the events that interest us is as follows:

In this case, after returning to work, the employee worked for less than 3 months. We believe that it is necessary to apply the general procedure for determining the billing period (12 full months preceding the month in which the employee goes on vacation, that is, the period from 08/01/2018 to 07/31/2019). Since most of the billing period falls during maternity leave, the number of days taken into account when calculating vacation pay will be small: 74.67 days. (17 days / 31 days x 29.3 days (May) + 2 months x 29.3 days (June, July)).

Example 4.

Suppose an employee went on vacation 2 weeks after leaving maternity leave:

    from 01/14/2017 to 05/31/2017 – maternity leave;

    from 06/01/2017 to 05/14/2019 – parental leave;

    05/15/2019 – date of return to work;

    from 05/27/2019 to 06/23/2019 – regular paid leave.

In the case under consideration, the calculation period is from 05/01/2018 to 04/30/2019. Since all this time is excluded from the calculated time, clause 6 of Regulation No. 922 should be applied, according to which the period before maternity leave (from 01/01/2016 to 12/31/2016) should be taken as the calculated time.

Situation 3: a woman worked part-time during maternity leave

At the request of a woman, while on maternity leave, she can work part-time or at home while maintaining the right to receive state social insurance benefits (Article 256 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation).

If this happened, the accountant has a question: does this fact affect the procedure for calculating vacation pay?

Example 5.

The employee has been working in the institution since 2015. The chronology of the events that interest us is as follows:

    from 01/14/2017 to 05/31/2017 – maternity leave;

    from 01.06.2017 to 14.05.2019 – maternity leave, during which in the period from 01.03.2019 to 14.05.2019 the woman worked part-time;

    from 05/15/2019 – work on a full-time work schedule;

    from 08/05/2019 to 08/17/2019 – regular paid leave.

By virtue of clause 12 of Regulation No. 922, when working part-time, the average daily earnings for vacation pay are calculated in accordance with clauses 10, 11 of the said regulation, that is, according to the general rules. Thus, the period of part-time work during parental leave is taken into account when calculating vacation pay. The billing period in this case is from 08/01/2018 to 07/31/2019. Accordingly, the number of days taken into account when calculating vacation pay will be 146.5 days. (5 months (from March to July) x 29.3 days).

If the employee was granted another paid leave immediately after maternity leave and, accordingly, there were no days worked in the billing period (12 full months preceding the month in which the woman went on leave), the average earnings must be calculated for the previous period, equal to the calculated one. In all other cases (if the next leave is granted after maternity leave or a month (two, three months) after the end of parental leave), the calculation period is determined according to the general rules (12 months preceding the month in which the next leave was granted ).

At first glance, the algorithm for calculating average earnings for a vacation is simple. However, in practice, many nuances need to be taken into account. For example, whether the employee fully worked out the pay period, whether he received a bonus, or whether his salary was increased. Let's look at the procedure for determining vacation pay amounts in these cases using specific examples.

The employer is obliged to provide employees with annual leave while maintaining their place of work (position) and average earnings. The procedure for calculating average earnings for these purposes is regulated by the Labor Code and the relevant Regulations. Let's consider both the general rules for calculating vacation pay and the procedure for calculating them, taking into account various features.

General rules for calculating vacation pay

To calculate vacation pay, you must first determine the pay period. According to labor law, this is 12 calendar months preceding the employee going on vacation. In this case, the calendar month is recognized as the period from the 1st to the 30th (31st) (in February - to the 28th (29th)) inclusive. For example, an employee goes on annual paid leave in June 2010. The estimated period will be from June 1, 2009 to May 31, 2010.
Next, you should calculate the amount of payments accrued to the employee during this time. It includes all payments provided for by the remuneration system in force for a given employer, regardless of the source of their financing. Their specific list is established by paragraph 2 of the Regulations. The calculation should include not only the amount accrued on the basis of the employee’s salary, tariff rate or piece rate, but also all other components of the salary: additional payment for work on holidays and weekends, for overtime work, night work, combining positions, regional coefficients, etc. Premiums are taken into account in a special manner, which we will discuss below. Payments not related to wages (financial assistance, payment for the cost of food, travel, training, utilities, recreation, etc.) are not taken into account when calculating average earnings.
Dividing this indicator by 12, and then by 29.4 (the average monthly number of calendar days), we find the average daily earnings. The amount of vacation pay can be calculated by multiplying the average daily earnings by the number of calendar days of vacation.

Example
Employee Petrova M.I. goes on vacation for 14 calendar days from 04/05/2010. For each of the 12 months preceding the vacation, she received a salary of 30,000 rubles.
The amount of vacation pay due to employee Petrova M.I. will be:
30,000 rub. x 12 months : 12 months : 29.4 x 14 days = 14,285.71 rub.

The procedure for calculating vacation pay becomes more complicated if the employee has not fully worked one or more months of the pay period, or if the employee was absent from work for some reason for part of this period. For example, an employee uses vacation for the first working year and has not yet worked for this employer for 12 calendar months. In addition, such a situation may arise when an employee during the pay period:

When calculating average earnings, all these time periods are excluded from the calculation period, and the amounts accrued for them are not taken into account in the calculation. In these cases, the average daily earnings are determined as follows. First, they calculate how many calendar months the employee worked in full in the billing period, and multiply this value by 29.4. Then 29.4 is divided by the number of calendar days in each month not fully worked and multiplied by the number of calendar days per hour worked in that month. All results are added up. And finally, the amount of actually accrued wages for the billing period is divided by the resulting number.

Example
Employee Chislov Yu.A. annual paid leave was provided for 7 calendar days from 06/07/2010. His monthly salary is 16,000 rubles. From 04/05/2010 to 04/19/2010, the employee was sick, and he was awarded a benefit in the amount of RUB 10,909.05. Salary for this month was:
16,000 rub. : 175 hours x 87 hours = 7,954.29 rub.
The estimated period is from 06/01/2009 to 05/31/2010.
The number of calendar days per hour worked in the billing period is equal to:
29.4 x 11 months + 29.4: 30 days. x 15 days = 338.1 days.
Average daily earnings Chislov Yu.A. for calculating vacation pay will be:
16,000 rub. x 11 months + 7,954.29 rub. : 338.1 days = 544.08 rub.
Vacation pay:
RUB 544.08 x 7 days = 3808.56 rub.

In practice, it is not uncommon for a specialist to go on vacation after not completing the entire pay period. After all, an employee’s right to vacation for the first working year arises after 6 months of continuous work with a given employer, and by agreement of the parties, vacation can be granted before the expiration of this period. In this case, vacation pay is calculated according to the rules described above. It is necessary to determine the number of calendar months and days per hour worked in the interval from the moment of employment until the end of the billing period. There is no need to take into account the time worked and earnings received from the previous employer.

Example
Employee Sukhoruchenko S.V. was hired on 02/01/2010. She received a monthly salary of 20,000 rubles. From May 15, 2010, she goes on vacation for 14 calendar days.
Average daily earnings are:
20,000 rub. x 3 months : (3 months x 29.4) = 680.27 rub.
The amount of vacation pay due to employee S.V. Sukhoruchenko will be:
RUB 680.27 x 14 days = 9,523.78 rub.

How to calculate vacation pay if the employee did not work during the entire pay period and no wages were accrued to him? This situation may arise, for example, when a woman was first on maternity leave, then on maternity leave, and immediately after that she went on another paid leave. Then, to calculate average earnings, they take the last 12 calendar months during which salaries were paid. Next, vacation pay is calculated as usual. If there was no earnings either in the billing period or before it, the salary for the days worked in the month of going on vacation is taken into account. If the employee did not work a single day before going on vacation, then the average earnings are determined based on the salary established for him.
By agreement between the employer and the employee, the latter may be assigned a part-time working week or part-time working day. When working under such conditions, the employee is paid in proportion to the time he worked or depending on the amount of work performed. However, vacation pay for such employees is calculated in the usual manner described above.
Only actual payments accrued in favor of the employee must be taken into account. The main thing is that the employee works all the days according to the part-time workweek schedule, then it is considered that he has worked the entire month.

Example
To the employee of Aktiv LLC Ivanov S.A. from 08/09/2010, another leave of 28 calendar days was granted. Employee salary - 20,000 rubles. From 07/01/2010, at his personal request, a specialist was given a four-day working week with a payment of 15,000 rubles. per month.
The billing period is from 08/01/2009 to 07/31/2010.

(RUB 20,000 x 11 months + RUB 15,000): 12 months. : 29.4 = 666.10 rub.
Amount of vacation pay due to S.A. Ivanov:
RUB 666.10 x 28 days = 18,650.80 rub.

According to the general rules, vacation pay is calculated for those employees who have a summarized recording of working hours, as well as for part-time workers.

Features of calculating vacation pay

The procedure for calculating average earnings has certain specifics if:

  • in the organization (branch, structural unit) salaries increased;
  • the employee was paid any bonuses.

The average employee’s earnings, calculated to pay for vacation, should increase if, in general, the size of tariff rates, salaries, and monetary remuneration for the organization (branch, structural unit) increased. What if the employee’s salary increased due to the introduction of new allowances, bonuses, or their size increased, but at the same time the size of tariff rates, salaries, and remuneration remained at the same level? In this case, there is no increase in average earnings.
Let's say salaries in the organization have increased. Then it is necessary to find the indexation coefficient of average earnings. It is determined for each employee individually as the ratio of his salary after the last increase to the salaries of each month of the billing period. If salaries have been increased several times, you will get several coefficients. When calculating the increasing coefficient, one should take into account not only the increase in salary, but also the simultaneous change in the size of monthly payments to the salary, if any. We wrote more about calculating average earnings in this case in “AB” No. 1, 2010 on p. 20.
The procedure for indexing vacation pay depends on the period in which the salary increase occurred. The first option is during the billing period. The second - after the billing period, but before the onset of vacation. The third is during the holiday period. In the first case, payments accrued to the employee before the salary increase are increased by a factor.

Example
From 05/01/2010, all employees of the organization received increased salaries. Salary of Petrova A.I. before the corresponding increase was 40,000 rubles, after - 50,000 rubles. From 06/01/2010 to 06/15/2010 (14 calendar days), the employee was granted annual paid leave.
The billing period from 06/01/2009 to 05/31/2010 has been fully worked out.
Average earnings indexation coefficient A.I. Petrova will be:
50,000 rub. : 40,000 rub. = 1.25
The average daily salary of an employee, taking into account the increase, is:
(40,000 rub. x 1.25 x 11 months + + 50,000 rub.): 12 months. : 29.4 = 1700.68 rub.
Vacation pay:
RUB 1,700.68 x 14 days = 23,809.52 rub.

If salaries increased after the billing period, but before the start of the employee’s vacation, the average earnings calculated for the billing period increase.
If the salary increase occurred already during the vacation period, then only part of the vacation pay is subject to indexation from the date of the salary change.

Example
Let's use the conditions of the previous example. Let's assume that the salary increase occurred on 06/04/2010.
Consequently, only payments for 11 days of rest in June are subject to indexation.
Average daily earnings of Petrova A.I. will be:
40,000 rub. x 12 months : 12 months : 29.4 = 1360.54 rub.
Vacation pay amount:
RUB 1,360.54 x 14 days = 19,047.56 rub.
Amount of vacation pay for part of the vacation from 06/01/2010 to 06/03/2010:
RUB 1,360.54 x 3 days = 4081.62 rub.
Amount of vacation pay for part of the vacation from 06/04/2010 to 06/15/2010, taking into account indexation:
RUB 1,360.54 x 11 days x 1.25 = 18,707.43 rub.
Amount of vacation pay to be paid upon leaving vacation:
4081.62 + 18,707.43 – 19,047.56 = 3,741.49 rubles.

If the employee’s earnings for the pay period consisted not only of salary, then do all payments accrued before the salary increase need to be indexed? No, not all. It is necessary to increase only those amounts that are set to the salary in a fixed amount as a percentage or a multiple. Those payments that are set to the salary in a range of values ​​or in absolute amounts are not indexed.
What if the employee was paid a bonus? First of all, you need to find out the date of its accrual.
All bonuses, except annual ones, are taken into account when calculating average earnings only if they are accrued in the billing period. The annual bonus is taken into account regardless of the time of its accrual, but only if it is due to the employee for the calendar year preceding the vacation. Then you need to look at how the 12 calendar months were worked before the vacation. If the billing period has been fully worked out, then all bonuses are included in the calculation in full. If the employee was absent from work for part of the pay period, then bonuses should be taken into account in proportion to the time worked in the pay period. The exception is those bonuses that are accrued for the time falling within the billing period, taking into account actual work done in it.
One-time bonuses not provided for by the remuneration system (for example, amounts issued for holidays, anniversaries, etc.) are not taken into account.

Example
Employee Ivanov M.A. annual paid leave was provided for 7 calendar days from 06/14/2010. His monthly salary is 40,000 rubles. Based on the results of work for 2009, the employee was awarded a bonus provided for in the bonus regulations in the amount of 60,000 rubles.
The billing period from 06/01/2009 to 05/31/2010 was fully worked out (the employee was on sick leave from 09/01/2009 to 02/28/2010).
The portion of the bonus for 2009 taken into account when calculating average daily earnings will be:
60,000 rub. : 249 days x 128 days = 30,843.37 rub.
Average daily earnings will be:
(RUB 40,000 x 6 months + RUB 30,843.37): 6 months. : 29.4 = 1535.39 rub.
Amount of vacation pay due to Ivanov M.A.:
RUB 1,535.39 x 7 days = 10,747.73 rub.

Vacation history

The emergence of the concept of “vacation” in labor relations is associated with the signing by Lenin of the Decree “On Vacations” on June 14, 1918. According to this document, hired workers and employees of all spheres of labor who worked for at least 6 months with their employer had the right to a two-week vacation. At the same time, the material content was given forward. If the employee did not take the entire vacation, then the unused days were not paid. In addition, employees were prohibited from working for other employers during their holidays. In 1936, under Stalin, the minimum duration of vacation was reduced to 6 days. However, already in 1972 it was established in 24 working days. Since 2002, vacation began to be calculated - according to the recommendation of the European Social Charter - in the amount of 28 calendar days.
