Leave for military conscripts and under contract in 2021

Service in the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation is characterized by intense conditions for carrying out special work activities. Soldiers and officers are obliged to be ready to defend the Motherland at any time of the day. Their working hours are not standardized.

However, like other workers, warriors have the right to rest. But the procedure for granting leave to military personnel is established not by the Labor Code of the Russian Federation, but by separate legislation.

Federal Law of May 27, 1998 76-FZ On the status of military personnel

Decree of the President of the Russian Federation of September 16, 1999 No. 1237 Issues of military service

Fundamentals of legislation

The registration procedure and logic for assigning vacation time to soldiers are collected in one by-law.
It was approved by Decree of the President of the Russian Federation No. 1237 back in 1999. Title: “Regulations on the procedure for military service.” Section 7 is dedicated to vacations. When developing the Regulations, civil servants of the Ministry of Defense relied on the following laws:

• “On the status of military personnel”;
• Labor Code.

The provision of leave to military personnel under a contract is carried out within the framework of compliance with the norms prescribed in two documents:

• in Law No. 76-FZ of May 27, 1998;
• in Decree of the President of the Russian Federation No. 1237 of September 16, 1999.

The regulation of periods of service and rest is justified by the general requirements of the legislation of the Russian Federation. And certain paragraphs of the Regulations are directly based on articles of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation. In particular, female military personnel are entitled to all the preferences laid down in labor legislation for civilian women.

For information: women holding officer and soldier positions receive in general order:

• prenatal and postnatal leave (based on a certificate of incapacity for work);

• for caring for a child up to one and a half (three) years old.

Legislative regulation of the issue

Due to the nature of the service, military personnel have the right to basic rest throughout the year and several types of additional leave, which in most cases are provided according to a schedule, given that a military unit cannot afford to be left without one or another officer or soldier at inconvenient times, for example , during exercises or performance of particularly important tasks.

Military personnel have the right to both study leave and time for treatment, which again are considered additional and are issued in a manner strictly defined by law, namely Article 31 of Decree of the President of the Russian Federation No. 1237. But the military are the same people as the civilian population, who have family, relatives, as well as problems, the resolution of which requires absence from work or from a military unit at unplanned times.

So, by virtue of the norms enshrined in Article 11 of Federal Law No. 76, in the event of an emergency in the life of a military serviceman, he is entitled to exemption from official duties for personal reasons, the length of which can be up to 10 days. At the same time, the right to determine how valid the reasons for absence from service are, as well as the urgency of its provision, is vested only in the unit commander, who gives the order to formalize this type of exemption from service.

Also, the procedure for granting, as well as the reasons for applying for leave for personal reasons, are regulated by the norms of Article 31 of Decree No. 1237, which contains, perhaps not an exhaustive list of grounds for registration, but the main one, which is applied in most cases.

What types of leave are entitled to military personnel?

Military personnel are entitled to several types of paid absence from their unit. Each has its own subtleties and nuances. Contract workers are entitled to preferential rest days in certain situations.

Types of leave with explanations are given in the table below:

Attention: if a situation arises that is not dealt with within the framework of Law 76, the personnel department of the unit is guided by the rules of labor legislation (civil).

When to write a report

Military service is a special type of activity during which the command does not have the opportunity to let a subordinate go on vacation. To approve a vacation, reasons are needed, for example:

• personal circumstances;
• change in health status for the worse;
• end of military service;
• time off due to studies, etc.

The military man outlines the grounds for rest and the reasons for the need to obtain it in the report. It must be completed for:

• passing exams at an educational institution;
• solving problems due to personal circumstances;
• child care;
• receiving the required annual days off;
• rehabilitation course due to injury;
• improving health status;
• rest after demobilization from military service;
• subsequent dismissal.

The military man sends a report to a superior officer. It is imperative to obtain the consent of the commander, since it is impossible to leave without it.

Vacation registration procedure

The preparation of documents for temporary absence from the place of duty occurs in a strictly established manner:

• the applicant submits a corresponding report to the immediate commander;
• the document goes through an approval procedure: the commander issues the visa;
• then permission is given by the officer whose duties include the management of personnel;

The report on the provision of vacation days also has its own nuances. In addition to the basic data, it contains the following information (different from the application for leave of civil servants):

• request: petition management for the allocation of vacation days;
• pay for travel;

Hint: in an appeal addressed to the boss, you need to indicate the legal norms regulating the right to certain qualifying periods.
The departure of a vacationer from a unit is also associated with the completion of certain formalities:

• on the basis of the order, the serviceman receives leave documents allowing him to leave his place of permanent deployment;
• on the date of departure, he is required to check in at the checkpoint.

For information: a separate prosecutor's office controls the location of officers and soldiers. Its employees check the documentation of vacationers in any city of residence.

Contract workers

Officers serving under contract act strictly in accordance with the methodology of the Regulations, approved. By Decree of the President of the Russian Federation of September 16, 1999 No. 1237 (Article 29). To receive grace time you need:

• submit a report;
• wait for approvals and issuance of the order.

Hint: in practice, as in civilian industries, military personnel are helped to draw up a request by a personnel officer working in the unit.
This person maintains personal affairs and has relevant information. The rules for registering vacation periods are as follows:

1. It is allowed to divide into parts in agreement with management. One of them cannot be less than 15 days ;
2. In the first and last years of service, the duration of legitimate absence from the unit may be less than established: the calculation is carried out in proportion to the length of service;
3. rounding is done upward (not 8.5 days, but 9).

Conscript soldier

Conscript soldiers received reduced rest rights. This is natural due to the short duration of service. They can officially rest:

• due to illness (you must submit a report and attach a certificate of incapacity to work);
• by special order of the authorities.

The procedure for registering time away from a unit does not differ from that already described. Additional vacation days are provided to a soldier for special reasons:

• due to a serious illness of a close relative;
• for the funeral of a parent and others.

Attention: conscripts are not entitled to study and vacation periods of absence from the unit. To obtain an education, young people receive a deferment from conscription.

For cadets of military institutions

A special type of rest is provided for in Article 30 of the Regulations, approved. By Decree of the President of the Russian Federation of September 16, 1999 No. 1237. It is provided to cadets of military schools . The amount of vacation time off depends on the time of year:

• in summer 30 days;
• in winter - 15.

Important: travel time to and from your vacation spot is not taken into account separately.
Registration of vacations at the school occurs in the described order. The cadet must submit a report to the head of the educational institution. Based on the latter’s resolution, an order is issued and funding is allocated.

Other standards are provided for military personnel undergoing correspondence . They are shown in the table:

Hint: the session is rescheduled on an individual basis for military personnel who cannot leave their place of service due to the special importance of the mission being performed.
Officers engaged in scientific activities without interruption from performing their main duties also receive preferential leave periods (Article 31 of the Regulations, approved by Decree of the President of the Russian Federation of September 16, 1999 No. 1237):

• 1 free day per week;
• 2 - in the last year of graduate school;
• 30 days to prepare for the defense of a candidate’s thesis;
• 90 - applicants for the title of Doctor and Candidate of Sciences.

Sequencing

1. Write a report (in appropriate cases).
2. Confirm by order of the military unit commander (in accordance with the schedule or report during unscheduled leave).
3. When leaving the military unit, complete matters by transferring functions to acting deputies (for superiors).

On vacation

A serviceman's leave can be either primary or additional. The duration of each differs and corresponds to the period of stay in the Armed Forces, place of deployment, schedule of duties and some other circumstances that are specified in Article 29 of Presidential Decree No. 1237 of September 16, 1999.

Additional holidays are guaranteed to employees with irregular working conditions, working at night and in the evening, subject to their employment in state security.

Compensation for a particular vacation is not provided, even if a notice of dismissal is submitted, that is, before this event, the contract employee is obliged to use all unused vacation periods.

The form of the report for main and additional leave differs slightly:

On vacation

In a number of cases established by paragraph 11 of Article 31 of Presidential Decree No. 1237 of September 16, 1999, employees of the Armed Forces are entitled to leave for family reasons. Such situations include:

• Death or serious illness of parents (your own or your spouse), children, blood brothers or sisters, as well as the person who raised you.
• A natural disaster, including a fire, that happened to a military family.

A sample report can be seen below:

For veterans

Combat veterans listed in the Law, in accordance with clause 5.1. Article 11 of Regulation No. 76-FZ of May 27, 1998

is subject to an additional period of release from service. Its duration is 15 days.

The report for receiving it is similar to the application for which main or additional leave is granted . The only difference is the need to indicate a different type of vacation and veteran’s ID information as an attachment.

For maternity leave

The procedure for obtaining leave for female military personnel expecting the birth of a baby, as well as the duration of this period, do not differ from those established by the state for other categories of citizens.

• 70 days before the baby arrives and 70 after (in general).

A break to care for a child under 3 years of age, in contrast to general practice, is guaranteed only for a woman serving (clause 5 of Article 32 of Decree No. 1237).

Expert opinion

Kuzmin Mikhail Vasilievich

Practitioner lawyer with 7 years of experience. Specializes in family law. Legal expert.

A male contract worker is entitled to 3 months. rest in the event of the death of a spouse during childbirth, or when raising a child under 14 years of age without the presence of the mother.

For contract employees

Contract workers are given basic and additional holidays. The document form is a form for a vacation report. The duration of the main break for recuperation is:

1. For those who have served less than 10 years – 30 days.
2. For those whose total length of service is over 20 years – 45 days.
3. For more than 10 but less than 15 years of experience – 35 days.
4. If there are from 15 to 20 years of service - 40 days.

In certain situations, the main rest is extended. The reasons for this increase in holidays are also described in Decree No. 1237. For example:

• If the service takes place in the Far North, the contract soldier will have another 15 days off.
• In areas equated to this region - 10 days.
• If unfavorable climate conditions are established at the place of deployment, the citizen must be given 5 days in excess of the usual norm.
• For those whose health conditions are determined to be at risk, another 15 days of vacation are guaranteed.

If there are several reasons for increasing vacation, the law allows days to be summed up, but the total in this case cannot exceed 60 days. It is permissible to divide a vacation, but one of the fragments cannot be less than 15 days.

If a serviceman needs to spend time to be sent to a vacation destination, he can be issued up to 15 additional days. The minimum quantity is 1 day in each direction. When providing rest in parts, travel time is given only once.

An additional period for rest for military personnel is provided if they are registered in state security bodies and they are subject to a regime of irregular working hours. Its duration is up to 10 days (clause 1.1.

Article 11 of Law No. 76-FZ of May 27, 1998) If the command does not object, the main and additional rest time can be provided immediately after each other.

For study

Students in military service are given 2 types of leave for study:

• Vacation . Issued for those who receive full-time education at military educational institutions. During winter training, an employee is entitled to 15 days of rest, summer – 30 days (Article 30 of Decree No. 1237). Travel time to the place of education is not given.

"Dembelsky"

For those contract soldiers whose experience is more than 20 years, additional rest time is provided in the amount of 30 days, based on paragraph 12 of Article 31 of Decree No. 1237. The condition for receiving it is:

1. Termination of the contract due to health reasons or due to organizational arrangements.
2. The last 3 years before reaching the maximum age for being in the Armed Forces.

Vacation leave for military personnel and employees of internal affairs bodies has its own design features. The basis for its provision is a submitted report addressed to the commander. If satisfied, the military man can receive documents and leave for the vacation destination.

took a complete break. I wrote a report for 30 days of leave for 2021 and asked for 7 days off for overtime in 2021. The unit commander refused to allow S to take time off, citing the fact that the leave was for the 20th year, and therefore there was no overtime. And for 2021, recycling burned out!

In accordance with the provisions of parts 1 and 2 of Art. 11 of the Federal Law “On the status of military personnel”, the total duration of weekly service time for military personnel undergoing military service under a contract should not exceed the normal duration of weekly working time established by federal laws and other regulatory legal acts of the Russian Federation.

The involvement of these military personnel in the performance of military service duties beyond the established duration of weekly service time in other cases is compensated by rest of the corresponding duration on other days of the week. If it is impossible to provide the specified compensation, the time spent performing military service duties in excess of the established duration of weekly service time is summed up and provided to military personnel in the form of an additional day of rest, which can be added to the main leave at the request of these military personnel.

The procedure for recording service time and providing additional days of rest is determined by the Regulations on the procedure for military service.

• What is needed for contract service
• What is required when dismissing a serviceman at the end of his contract?
• FSIN: contract service
• Dismissal from contract service
• Dismissal due to organizational and regular events of military personnel
• Discharge of conscripts to the reserve based on age limit
• Accounting for service time of military personnel under contract

11 of the Federal Law “On the Status of Military Personnel”, ship cruises and other events, the list of which is determined by the Minister of Defense of the Russian Federation, are carried out if necessary without limiting the total duration of weekly service time. Additional days of rest, which compensate military personnel for participation in these activities, are not counted towards the main and additional leave and are provided in the manner and under the conditions determined by the Regulations on the procedure for military service.

Federal legislation, namely Articles 91, 99, 100 and 108 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation, establishes that normal working hours cannot exceed 40 hours per week.

At the same time, in certain cases, it is allowed to involve an employee in performing work outside the established working hours, which stipulates the length of the working week and daily work (shift), the start and end time of work, and the time of breaks that are not included in working hours.

In accordance with paragraphs 1 and 3 of Appendix No. 2 to the Regulations, the commander of a military unit keeps separate records of the time when military personnel serving under contract are involved in the performance of military service duties on working days in excess of the established duration of weekly service time (overtime) and separately records the involvement of specified military personnel to perform military service duties on weekends and holidays (in hours).

When the total overtime time (the total time for performing official and special duties on weekends or holidays, taking into account the time required for a military personnel to arrive to the place of duty from their place of residence and back) reaches the daily time established by the regulations of official time for the performance of official duties, the military personnel, a person undergoing military service under a contract, at his request, is provided with additional days of rest on other days of the week or they are added to the main leave.

The time of involvement of a serviceman performing military service under a contract in activities carried out without limiting the total duration of weekly service time is taken into account in days. For every 3 days of involvement in the named activities, the specified military personnel are provided with 2 days of rest, established by paragraph.

3 tbsp. 11 Federal Law “On the status of military personnel”.

Rest time compensating for participation in these events is provided to a soldier serving under a contract, as a rule, upon completion of these events, taking into account the need to maintain the combat readiness of the unit and the interests of the service.

Clauses 6, 11 and 14 of Art. 29 of the Regulations, it is determined that instead of increasing the duration of the main leave or part of it, at the request of the serviceman, he may be provided with additional rest time before the start of the leave at the rate of one day of rest for every day of increase in leave established by these Regulations.

Accounting for the provision of additional days of rest is kept separately in the journal in accordance with Appendix No. 2. Leaves are provided to military personnel at any time of the year, taking into account the need to alternate periods of their use, as well as ensuring the combat readiness of the military unit and in accordance with the leave plan.

In cases where the main leave and (or) additional leave were not granted to a military personnel in the current calendar year due to his illness or other exceptional circumstances, the main and (or) additional leave may be transferred to the next calendar year. When transferring the main and (or) additional vacations to the next calendar year, they must be used before its end.

Clause 25 of the Procedure for the activities of officials and military administration bodies for organizing military service under a contract in the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, approved by Order of the Minister of Defense of the Russian Federation dated October 30, 2015 No. 660 (hereinafter referred to as the Procedure), it is determined that accounting for the time of involvement of military personnel, undergoing military service under a contract, to perform the duties of military service on weekdays in excess of the established duration of weekly service time, the involvement of these military personnel to perform the duties of military service on weekends and holidays and the additional rest time provided to them is kept in a log in the form and in the manner in accordance with with Appendix No. 7 to the specified Procedure.

Based on the analysis of the above legal norms, providing military personnel with additional days of rest is possible if a combination of the following conditions is met: the involvement of a military serviceman in the performance of military service duties in excess of the established duration of weekly duty time or on weekends (holidays), or the involvement of a military personnel in events carried out without limiting the total duration of weekly service time; failure to use additional days of rest of the corresponding duration on other days of the week; the serviceman’s request for an additional day of rest on other days of the week, as well as in the year the right to receive additional rest arose or in the next year simultaneously with the main leave (if there are exceptional circumstances for this);

decision of the commander of a military unit (unit), issued in the form of an order to provide an additional day of rest, taking into account the need to maintain combat readiness and the interests of the service.

This conclusion is fully consistent with the explanations contained in paragraph 21 of the Resolution of the Plenum of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation dated May 29, 2014 No. 8 “On the practice of application by courts of legislation on conscription, military service and the status of military personnel.”

Thus, in 2021, you have the right to claim the provision of unrealized additional days of rest, the right to which you acquired in 2021, you must use them no later than December 31, 2020.

If an individual belongs to the military, then he will need to draw up a vacation report in accordance with certain rules. I am also a military man. The first time I needed a vacation, I filled out the usual application that all Russian citizens submit to employers in order to receive paid vacation days.

However, the commander refused to even consider such a document. After that, I consulted with a lawyer and learned how to prepare a report, as well as what information should be included in it and in what order. Already taking into account all the recommendations, I wrote a report, which was immediately accepted, and the request for leave was granted.

In this article, I will share the rules for writing reports of this kind and will focus on what information must be present in a document of this nature, so that the military will be able to draw it up correctly the first time and go on a long-awaited vacation.

Frequency of rest

The law contains a rule that military personnel must rest regularly. They are entitled to basic and additional vacations twice a calendar year. In this case, the personnel department first draws up, and the manager approves, a vacation plan .
The following categories of soldiers are entitled to a preferential choice of the date of departure from the unit for rest:

• combat veterans;
• liquidators of the accident at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant;
• raising: a disabled child (up to 16 years of age);
• a minor under 14 years of age without a second parent;
• three or more minors;

Hint: Husbands of pregnant wives (during childbirth) have priority in choosing a departure date.

Application for transfer of vacation

Vacation is postponed for two reasons:

• for a valid reason of the applicant (the reason and the planned date are indicated in accordance with the schedule);
• on official need (initiated by the administration).

Applications vary depending on the basis for the transfer: if in the first case the employee voices a request to postpone a vacation that does not work out due to circumstances, then in the second case he agrees in writing to the forced transfer.

Form 1.

I ask you to reschedule my annual vacation, scheduled for the period from * to *, for reason (***).

Form 2.

I, full name + position, agree with the postponement of my next paid leave, scheduled according to the schedule from * to *, due to production needs.

New vacation dates are set by the boss after agreement with the applicant - taking into account the wishes of the employee and the state of the work process. In some cases, the time of annual vacation may be postponed to the next year. At the same time, the annual deferment is excluded in conditions of hazardous production and in the event that the applicant has not reached 18.

Applications for a particular vacation are drawn up according to general rules, but do not have a standard form.

All situational leaves require the attachment of a document on the basis of which the employee applies for vacation time.

Not all vacations provided for by law involve payment for time “outside the production process,” but in all cases the employee is guaranteed to retain his job position for the period of his absence.

Calculation features

The days due to an officer are calculated according to the following algorithm:

• The duration of each vacation period is determined: the main one;
• additional;

Let's look at the algorithm using an example:

1. Major Ivanov has the right to the following types of rest: basic - 30 days;
2. for length of service - 15;
3. for work at the CS - 15.

Attention: a serviceman’s vacation may be provided in advance.

Due to illness

Carrying out service requires physical and moral costs from citizens. And for military personnel, additional periods of rest to restore health are provided - from 30 to 60 days, depending on the illness and the duration of rehabilitation.

The period is allocated for sanatorium-resort treatment in specialized military hospitals or for the restoration of mental and physical health in public clinics. This period of treatment is extended by decision of a special medical commission. The maximum duration is 4 months. But there are exceptions for some diseases.

Upon completion of treatment, the serviceman undergoes a medical examination to confirm a satisfactory state of health.

An application for treatment is documented in a similar report. The application must indicate the basis - a referral for treatment. Also attach supporting documents to the application: sick leave, certificate or referral from the IHC.

Example

Reasons for vacation recall

Defenders of the Fatherland can be recalled to their unit at any time. This norm is described in Art. 33 Regulations, approved. By Decree of the President of the Russian Federation of September 16, 1999 No. 1237. The order must have a basis :

• emergency situation;
• mobilization;
• other (established by the Commander-in-Chief - the President of the Russian Federation or the Minister of Defense).

Important: the vacationer is obliged to report to the unit location as soon as possible.
Moreover, if the unused part of the vacation is more than 10 days, then the serviceman is given the right to free travel from the place of vacation to the place of service.

How to write a vacation report?

Its format differs depending on the position, as well as the place of service.

Dismissal before vacation

Officers are given another preference. It is called presidential , since it is established in part 12 of article 31 of the Regulations, approved. Decree of the President of the Russian Federation No. 1237. Officers and private contract soldiers who have reached 20 years of service (excluding seniority benefits) have the right to another vacation period of 30 days at their request.
Presidential preference is granted based on the officer's report at any time before dismissal.

In addition, according to established rules, military personnel are required to take advantage of all non-vacation periods before leaving for the reserve. The personnel service makes calculations and calculates the salary. The officer is sent off to take all the days off that he did not receive during his service (compensation is not practiced in the army).

Upon dismissal from service

If before dismissal an officer has unspent vacation days, he needs to use them, since compensation is not provided for in the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation (clause 16 of article 29 of the Regulations).

The need to write an application

Since the right to rest is established for absolutely all citizens of the Russian Federation, the command has no right to leave a serviceman’s appeal unanswered, especially if his service has not been interrupted during the year. In this case, the report is considered a guarantee of the fulfillment of the soldier’s legal rights. But all the activities of a serviceman are structured in such a way that, regardless of the reasons, he is obliged to write an appeal to the commander.

The status also imposes certain restrictions. Thus, a military man does not have the right to leave the Russian Federation even during rest. In addition, he must be prepared for the fact that, at the first request, he will have to interrupt his time with his family and arrive at the unit.

Can a soldier go on sick leave?

Registration of sick leave has always been a difficult task, and in the case of military personnel the situation is even more complicated, since these people do not simply serve the allotted time in the office and return home to “recover.” They repay their debt to the Motherland, and their physical and moral condition is the key to the normal functioning of the country’s defense complex. This is why, under certain circumstances, those serving in the military are entitled to sick leave. A serviceman can be on sick leave for a strictly defined period of time, and then, by decision of a specially convened commission (SVC), go on paid leave for recovery and rehabilitation. If you are interested in this topic, you can find in the article answers to questions regarding sick leave for a serviceman, documentation of such “rest,” payment for it, and much more.

• Medical institutions. Military personnel do not go to regular clinics and hospitals to make diagnoses, receive therapy and medications. The health of soldiers and officers of the Russian Armed Forces is monitored by specialized medical institutions and military hospitals that are part of the Russian Defense Ministry. The decision on temporary incapacity for work is made by medical commissions.
• Document on incapacity for work. Sick leave certificates are not issued to those liable for military service. If a soldier or officer feels unwell or other signs of illness, he or she must go to the medical unit or the nearest army medical center. If the disease is confirmed, he is issued a certificate of incapacity for work and exemption from military service duties for a period of no more than 5 days at a time and no more than 12 days (in general) for repeated applications. This document is attached to the command report. Only after a decision has been made by the immediate supervisor upon application, a serviceman has the right not to go to service. If a military man’s illness or injury requires a long time for rehabilitation and recovery, the Military Military Commission is convened and a joint decision is made on the number of days of leave.

Procedure for submission to management

It must be remembered that all applications for leave, including a report from a serviceman, are considered for some time. Therefore, to avoid complications and unnecessary nerves, it is better to submit the paper in advance. Yes, there are urgent times when release must be granted as soon as possible. These are individual cases that are resolved promptly. But others that do not require immediate consideration are best submitted in advance.

A report for demobilization leave is submitted 3 months before the expected date of dismissal. The next one will happen in about a month or two. A care report for training and passing the session is approximately a month in advance, as well as for a routine examination or preventive medical measures in a medical institution.

Time is needed to calculate the amount of vacation pay, credit the full amount to the account, issue an order, coordinate with management, find a replacement during the military’s absence and other related activities.

The report must be written in two copies, one of which is given to the secretary along with the required attachments, and the second is registered in the office and remains with the applicant.

When the report is registered, the commander has reviewed and approved it, the personnel department employee issues an order to grant exemption from service. The report and order are stored in the archive for at least 5 years.
