How the two compensation options work
Article 72 of the Labour Code allows the parties to agree on another rest day or double monetary compensation. Monetary pay is calculated under Article 107 based on hours actually worked.
A day off is determined by the employee’s individual schedule and work arrangement. Saturday or Sunday alone does not establish that it was a day off for an employee working shifts.
During martial law, part six of Article 6 of Law No. 2136-IX disapplies Articles 71 and 73 of the Labour Code, but Article 72 on compensation for work on a day off remains in force. First check whether the day was a day off under your schedule.
Calculation methodology
How the preliminary amount was calculated
- We check the approved schedule and determine the employee’s actual day off.
- Use the confirmed gross hourly rate and actual hours recorded on the timesheet.
- For the cash option, multiply the rate by the hours and by two; for agreed time off, multiply the rate by the hours.
- We round the full and single amounts to the nearest kopeck; the difference is shown separately.
- We compare the result with the payslip and the agreement on a day of rest.
Example of hourly pay
An employee at a Kyiv store had a scheduled day off but worked 8.5 hours under an order. Their gross hourly rate is UAH 150.25.
- Rate: UAH 150.25/hour
- Actual: 8.5 hours
- The day is a rest day under the personal schedule
Double pay: UAH 2,554.25. With an agreed alternative day off: UAH 1,277.13 for the work and another unpaid day off.
These are the full gross amounts for the hours. Any underpayment is determined after checking amounts already accrued and paid.
Documents for review
- Employment agreement, pay-scale document, or calculation with the hourly rate already determined.
- Internal work rules and the employee’s personal shift schedule showing the day off.
- An order or written instruction to work on a day off, and a time sheet showing the actual hours worked.
- An application or agreement specifying another day off, if that option is selected.
- Pay statements and bank statements for the relevant period.

Frequently asked questions
Is every Sunday a day off for me?
No. With a variable schedule, days off may fall on other days. Check your approved schedule and time sheet.
Can I receive double pay and a rest day at the same time?
Article 72 lets the parties choose compensation by agreement: another rest day or double monetary compensation. Check any additional contractual guarantees separately.
Will another rest day be paid?
Under the alternative-day-off option, hours actually worked are paid at the regular rate, and the day off provided is unpaid.
Can I enter a monthly salary?
No. For salaried work, Article 107 distinguishes work within and beyond the monthly standard. The standard and actual accruals must be checked.
Does double holiday pay apply automatically?
During martial law, Article 73 of the Labour Code does not apply under Article 6 of Law No. 2136-IX. First determine whether the day was a day off under your schedule.
