For one of the parents (a person replacing parents) from among civil servants with children under the age of three, the working time shall be set to no more than thirty-five hours a week.

Depending on the specifics of the official activities of a civil servant, in compliance with the internal labor regulations, a six-day working week may be established, taking into account the length of working time specified in part one of this article.

Work in excess of the length of working time established by the state body for a public civil servant shall be considered overtime work.

In the event of natural and man-made emergencies, a state body may engage a public civil servant to work overtime without their consent.

Involvement of public civil servants in overtime work, as well as on weekends and non-working holidays, shall be carried out on the basis of a decision of the head of the state body in compliance with the requirements of labor legislation.

Compensation for overtime work of a public civil servant shall be carried out by payment for actually worked overtime hours not less than double the amount or by providing additional rest time corresponding to the length of time worked overtime.
