DescriptionA statement by Labor Minister Anton Kotyakov that the law already allows companies to switch to a four-day workweek by mutual agreement has reignited the debate among lawmakers. Certain factions in the State Duma have long been lobbying for a mandatory and widespread reduction in working days to improve citizens’ mental health. Despite resistance from the Ministry of Labor, lawmakers may use this media attention as an opportunity to officially introduce a draft of a large-scale reform of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation during the fall session. We are betting on the appearance of an official initiative in the SOZD database.
ConditionsYes: if, between July 16 and December 31, 2026, a bill is officially submitted to the Legislative Support System (SOZD) proposing to make the four-day workweek a mandatory standard in the Russian Federation.No: if no such mandatory bills are submitted to the SOZD database by the end of 2026.
