4.                   Remuneration for part‐time work is made based on the tariff rate at the place of part‐time, and should be directly dependent on the amount of working time required to perform work at the place of parttime.

5.                   Employees who have been awarded the salary of a specialist at the main place of service, the off‐duty rate is paid part‐time, based on this rate, provided that their work at the place of part‐time job represents the same qualification requirements as at the main place of service, if at the place of part‐time job a lower qualification is required from the employee, then the payment is made in accordance with § 4 of this Regulation, or the off‐site rate is approved separately, regardless of the main place of service.

6.                   All part‐time jobs and payment for them are finally approved by the local department of the union ʺVsemediksantrudʺ (All‐Russian Professional Union of Medical and Sanitary Labor) by the relevant
