Overview
- One bill would give one parent in families with three or more children the right to a workweek of no more than 30 hours by adding a provision to Article 92 of the Labor Code.
- A separate proposal seeks to amend Article 120 so weekend days would not count toward the annual paid vacation period, which currently totals 28 calendar days.
- The workweek initiative lists LDPR deputies led by party leader Leonid Slutsky among the authors, with Senator Elena Afanasyeva named as coauthor.
- Supporters say shorter hours would ease caregiving burdens and aid demographic goals, while the leave change aims to let employees use their guaranteed vacation more effectively.
- Both draft laws are posted in the Duma’s electronic database, with no stated government position or implementation details and no passage through committees yet.
