What is vacation and how do they count?

Every officially employed person knows perfectly well what holiday vacations are. This is a certain amount of money that is paid to employees of the enterprise for the period during which they are absent from their workplace in connection with the rest. And most of all people are interested in how exactly and by what principle holiday payroll is calculated.

Variation of payments

Before delving into the question of what vacation is, you need to give a little attention to the "classification" of the holiday. After all, people go not only to the annual basic vacation. In addition to it, additional rest, maternity (in connection with childbirth and pregnancy), and also in connection with temporary incapacity for work can be arranged.

However, in any case, the calculation of vacation in 2016/2017 takes into account the provisions prescribed in the relevant legislation and in domestic regulations. Every employee should know that all the features related to the provision of leave and cash payments are specified in the Collective Agreement. The minimum duration of annual leave is 28 calendar days, but this document can be specified for a longer period. But not less. Otherwise, this will be considered a violation of the rights of the employee and a condition worsening his situation.

How does the calculation work?

So, what is holiday - it's clear. Now a few words about how they are calculated.

Each person can independently calculate the amount owed to him for legal work. To do this, you need to add up all of your salary received over the past year. And then divide the figure by the number of days worked, but only without taking into account the holidays. The final result is the amount due to the person for the day of his legal rest.

It is worthwhile to give a clear example, and this will help calculator vacation. Suppose, for the year the person was paid 440 000 rubles. Thus he has fulfilled 320 days. That's what it turns out: 440 000/320 = 1 375. The final figure should be multiplied by 28 - this is the vacation days of a person, during which he will be absent from his workplace. It turns out, for this period he should be paid 38 500 rubles.

Giving Rest

People, for the first time interested in the question of what holiday vacations, also want to know when they have the right to go on a well-deserved paid weekend. Usually - in 6 months. But if a person wants to exercise the right to leave after six months, then only 14 days will be allocated to him.

However, sometimes employees leave for a long weekend before, having worked at the enterprise for only a few months. But this is only possible after a written application and approval of the employer.

By the way, often the authorities insist that employees divide the vacation into two parts - 14 days at different times of the year. So the company saves human resources.

What is considered in the calculation?

It is important to mention that accountants, using the vacation calculator in 2016/2017 in the process of calculating, take into account not only the salary of the employee of the enterprise, but also bonuses with premiums. They are added to the cumulative salary for the whole year.

Thus, monthly and one-time bonuses for the performance of official duties and special results in work, incentive payments for rationalization proposals and initiative, overtime premiums, long service bonuses, etc., are taken into account.

However, the accounting department does not take into account the pension and tax deductions, as well as the penalties deducted from the person's salary. Money, given to a person as material aid, is also not taken into account.

Several holidays in a row

Is it possible? Completely. There are times when a person simply did not have time to use his legal rest for one reason or another. In such situations, the legal 28 days do not burn out, but simply carry over to the next year. And they add to another vacation. It turns out a very pleasant figure - 56 days of rest. In very rare cases, the employee can work off in a row (saving human resources).

But payments are calculated by the same formula. Although one more variant is practiced, it is more complicated. In some cases, the average daily earnings are calculated by dividing the total amount paid to a person for a calculation period by 12 months. Then the result is divided once again into 29.3. This is the average monthly number of calendar days in each year.

Now you can calculate vacation, the calculator in this will help. Let's say a person earns 540,000 r. A year. The result is as follows: 540 000 rubles / 12 months / 29.3 days = 1 535 rubles. If you multiply the total figure by 28 days of vacation, the amount is 42 980 rubles.

In case of leaving office

If in 2017 a person for some reason decides to quit, but remembers the unused vacation, then he should not worry. In such cases, the employee is paid monetary compensation for all days accumulated for rest. This is also a kind of vacation (2016). The calculator will help to calculate the exact amount. It is necessary to multiply the number of accumulated days by the time of dismissal by his average daily earnings. However, as in all previously mentioned cases.

It should be noted that the RF Customs Code does not designate any order, according to which the number of days accumulated by the employee for rest is determined. Therefore, it is necessary to turn to the provision of the Rules on additional and next holidays. But in general, a person is entitled to full compensation even if he has worked less than 11 months, after which people usually go on vacation.

However, the example will not be superfluous. Let's say a staff member left the company for 7 months. In this case, 28 days of holiday is multiplied by 7. After that it is divided into 12 months. And that's what turns out: (28 x 7) / 12 = 16.3. The final result is the number of days that a person is compensated with money.

At dismissal not on own desire

Everyone has ever heard of such a phenomenon as a reduction in staff. In our time you can not call it rare. It implies the complete exclusion from the staffing of certain positions. And, accordingly, without layoffs can not do. It is unpleasant, but 140 articles of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation become the protection of workers. It says that all compensation, including for unused vacation, must be paid at the first request of the employee.

In addition, the person is given severance pay, the amount of which is identical to the monthly salary. It can be paid within the next three months if the short-time employee faces problems related to employment.

Tax deduction

Talking about vacation, you can not fail to note the attention and the fact that even with the benefits of this type of personal income tax is withheld. With the onset of 2016, many were excited about the question of how long it is necessary to transfer this tax. Unsurprisingly, after all, people were obliged to make payments immediately, on the day when their accounts were charged.

But now everything has become easier. Payments of personal income tax with vacation "endure" until the end of the month. This is written in the 226th article of the Tax Code. However, not in the case of dismissal. If a person receives compensation for unscheduled leave, then he must pay personal income tax not later than the day following his departure from office.

What is the amount of tax paid by a person on vacation? It must be calculated individually. To the standard 13% personal income tax it is necessary to add deductions for insurance against occupational diseases and accidents, as well as pension, social and medical policies. By the way, the value of vacation payments that are due to the employee is reduced by the amount of investment, professional, standard, tax, property and social deductions. All this is indicated in the HK RF, in articles 218 to 221.

By the way, and what about the timeframe during which vacation payouts should be paid to the employee? Here everything is also quite strict. In accordance with Article 136 of the RF Labor Code, the employer is obliged to charge the employee three days before the start of his legal rest.
