Work in the north for women: vacancies and conditions

The words "work in the Far North" seem to be hard work on a rotational basis, away from their native places and family. This is associated with mines, and is offset by all getting high wages. In conditions of unemployment and crisis, the latter is a key point.

There are stereotypes: only men will be able to work in the Far North, since women are not so hardy to harsh climate conditions. But this is not so. In fact, work in the north is in demand for women. They are offered the vacancies of a cook, assistant cook, dishwasher. They successfully find work in catering establishments, in hotels, trade and entertainment facilities, in warehouses. Women work as commandants, maids, storekeepers, warehouse workers.

Work in the north (for women, vacancies can also be found in higher-paying jobs if you have experience) is offered mainly in the construction, oil and gas industries.

Despite the fact that work and life in such a climate is a test that not everyone can stand, many still make such a decision and are looking for work in this region. There is work for women in the north, but the number of job offers is limited. Most employers offer a shift method. But it should be understood that the work on such a schedule and the harsh climate conditions do not have the best effect on women's health, especially worsening it psychologically.

Work in the north for women implies the presence of not only an appropriate specialty, but also good health. The shift method accepts persons who do not have health contraindications to perform labor duties under conditions of pressure drops, high humidity, low temperatures and a small number of light days per year.

Of course, work in the north for women is not as highly paid as men, but their wages are an order of magnitude higher than in the middle lane. This is due to compensations and state benefits. Conscientious employers comply with all requirements that apply to them at the legislative level. Women, according to Art. 320 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation, working in the harsh conditions of the north, can work no more than 36 hours a week. But at the same time, wages should be at the level that with a full working week. If a woman works more than this norm, then the implementation of such work will be considered overtime and should be paid according to the current legislation. This condition must be specified in the employment contract. In the presence of children under the age of 16, mom is given an additional unpaid day off once a month. Unused extra days are not subsequently compensated. Women who have small children cannot be dismissed while downsizing.

Legislative work for women in the north has limitations. This is stipulated in the Labor Code of the Russian Federation. In the north, women do not have the right to work:

- under the age of 18;

- having medical contraindications for health;

- pregnant;

- raising a child up to 3 years.
