The State Duma told about the calculation of vacation pay according to the new rules

Russians' vacation pay is now calculated taking into account all monetary incentives. This was announced on February 6 by Ekaterina Stenyakina, a member of the State Duma Committee on Labor, Social Policy and Veterans' Affairs (United Russia).

"Since the fall of last year, employers have been unable to take advantage of a loophole in the legislation: first, in an order to name a monetary payment to an employee as an incentive, rather than a bonus, and then pay a smaller amount for a vacation, without taking into account the accrued incentive payment in calculating average earnings," the deputy explained to TASS.

According to Stenyakina, vacation pay is calculated based on the average earnings for the last 12 calendar months, and from September 1, 2025, a new procedure for calculating the average salary of an employee is in effect.

Vacation goals: resorts and small towns have become the drivers of tourism in Russia

Art clusters began to be developed in small towns and convenient navigation was made.

On February 3, Evgenia Gankina, director of the Roskachestvo Organizational Development Department, reported that employers have the right to send an employee on vacation even against his will if too many days have accumulated, but leave at his own expense is possible only on the initiative of the employee himself. She explained that the Labor Code of the Russian Federation stipulates that annual paid leave must be provided to an employee annually. If an employee has not used his vacation for two years, the employer is obliged to send him on vacation according to the approved schedule with two weeks' notice.
