How much Swiss bankers earn – Askhat Mamytov on vc.ru

The year of Coronacrisis 2020 showed which Swiss banks were able to benefit from market fluctuations and which were not. As the analysis published on the finews.ch portal shows, this directly affected the salaries of bank employees.

439
views

All Swiss banks have successfully survived 2020, marked by the coronavirus pandemic and strong fluctuations in the stock market. But some banks have been better able to take advantage of the opportunities offered by retail and private banking.

These were, for example, UBS, Zürcher Kantonalbank (ZKB) and Julius Baer. By contrast, Credit Suisse (CS) and Vontobel performed underperforming. At least partially, this can be seen in the salaries of bankers.

Permanent Leader

According to Finews.ch’s annual estimate based on personnel costs, the average full-time annual salary at CS and Vontobel has fallen significantly; namely almost CHF 7,000 in CS and almost CHF 4,000 in Vontobel.

At UBS, higher bonuses resulted in a significant increase in the total average compensation per employee by CHF 6,300. In the ZKB, this growth even amounted to 18,000 francs.

In 2020, nothing has changed in the “ranking” of banks with the highest average wages: the sole leader is Vontobel bank with an average payout per employee of CHF 317,618, followed by UBS with CHF 240,723 and almost same level as Julius Baer from 240 539francs.

Behind them are CS and ZKB, with the banks reversed from the previous survey: the state bank now pays an average wage of CHF 217,375. In CS, it is still 202,789 francs, further highlighting the downward trend in wages in 2020 at the second largest Swiss bank.

For comparison, in 2015, the average annual salary of a CS employee was almost 240,000 Swiss francs.

Gift for employees from ZKB

The opposite trend is observed in ZKB. In the state bank, salary costs per employee grew from year to year: in 2015, bankers received an average of 183,000 francs – now it is 34,000 francs more. At the annual media conference in early 2021, ZKB management stated that the increase in personnel costs is due to the payment of higher bonuses.

The higher staff costs in 2020 are largely due to the CHF 46 million anniversary bonus that was decided to be paid last year, a ZKB spokeswoman clarified. It was a one-time effect.

As a reminder, the Zürcher Kantonalbank celebrated its 150th anniversary in 2020. As part of his anniversary, he also took into account his employees and paid them a one-time anniversary bonus. The amount was based on the number of years of service and workload and did not depend on the rank and position.

At the same time, the steady trend towards greater income diversification in ZKB led to a premiere: for the first time, income – thanks to high new money inflows and a trading boom – from asset management and investment banking was higher than the income from the classic differential interest business.

Banking slang, or Learn to speak “correctly”

publication date: 06/14/2013

This legal entity has a loan body of 15,000,000 euros,
if it is in the III or IV0 quality category8,
then we’ll crash the capital and we won’t fit into H6.

(From a conversation between two bankers)

Development in any professional field leads to the fact that a person begins to speak a special language, often incomprehensible to others. Advertisers, traders, recruiters, doctors, military and sportsmen have their own specific language of communication. Travel agents, restaurateurs, musicians, IT specialists, accountants also prefer to communicate with each other in a language that is far from being understood in other professional fields. Some of the words of professional slang become everyday in everyday life, some words are used by several professions at once, and some remain purely professional slang.

Now you will not surprise anyone with the word “claudia”, which means a keyboard, and not a girl’s name at all, and “soap” more often means e-mail than the usual hygiene product.

We all know that firewood, iron and wallpaper are not building materials, but device drivers, computer internals and desktop background. Football players get mustard plasters, and when shooting, you can get into the milk! Florists regularly “cut off the legs” (that is, cut the stems of flowers), sailors go down the ladder, sit on the bank (seat, bench), cook in the galley (ship kitchen), drivers turn the steering wheel, and railway workers put a shoe under the wheels.

The banking sector also cannot do without its own professional slang : the need to quickly and accurately identify the problem, to succinctly but briefly formulate the task, ask a question, clarify the situation makes bank employees always in a hurry to speak in terms that are far from being understood by ordinary people. Regular changes in banking legislation, the constant introduction of new banking services, the continuous process of recording transactions, the rapid development of banking technologies, the borrowing of terms from foreign languages ​​gives an incentive to the development of a special banking language of communication.

Flipping through professional vocabulary dictionaries is interesting and informative. In addition to purely professional terms, there are abbreviations, abbreviations, alphanumeric designations, and funny words that have developed in practice, but do not officially exist in the Russian language.

A bank employee will never say: “An employee of the reporting department asks the retail lending department to provide information on loans issued under the Car Loan program for the period from 06/01/2013 to 06/30/2013. Instead, the bank clerk will quickly say, “Reporters are asking creditors for info on autos for June.” Or even shorter: “Give reporters a portfolio of autos for June.” Fast, clear, understandable! Specialists of different departments of the bank, of course, are named exclusively according to the area of ​​their professional activity: creditors, accountants, risk workers, salesmen, currency traders, treasurers, traders, IT specialists… “Plastics” are not only bank cards, but also the employees of the department plastic cards! To ask in “securities” means to ask the employees of the securities department. And the employees of the department for operations with precious metals can easily be called “dredges”! It also happens that the same word in different regions of the country can have meanings that are far from each other: the same “avtik” in one region can mean a car loan, in another – the name of the automation department, and in the third it will cause bewilderment, since it does not is used at all. Great and mighty is the banking language!

And, of course, salespeople “go to the fields” in search of clients, treasurers monitor posture (monitor the payment position), conclude transactions on the interbank market (attract or provide interbank loans), sell foreign currency to Sberbank (i.e. Sberbank), creditors issue needs (consumer loans are too long), draw orders for issuing loans (all work in the bank is based on orders), sign additional agreements for overs (conclude additional agreements to the bank account agreement on the provision of a loan with a lack of funds in the current account – what is called , feel the difference!), tellers serve lawyers and physicists (probably no longer need to decipher), as well as non-rez (that is, non-residents), start payments (i.e. enter the data of settlement documents into a special banking program), spank memriks or even mymriks (i.e. draw up various transactions and transactions with memorial orders), draw up receipts and consumables (these are special cash documents nt), reporters prepare reports for the Central Bank and the Head. In general, work in the bank is in full swing, and everyone is busy with their own business! And if there is an urgent task that needs to be completed as soon as possible, then the bank says that the deadline for completing this task is “yesterday”.

The banking sector is developing very rapidly and many professional terms that have no analogues in Russian are borrowed from foreign languages, undergoing changes in the Russian manner. We talk daily about acceptances, beneficiaries, insiders, overnights, swifts, embossing and acquiring. Moreover, bank employees, being carriers of banking slang , very often use abbreviations in speech, both native, domestic and foreign (for example: FOR, RVPS, RCC, RKO or ATM, IBAN, SWIFT), appeal to numbers regulations (for example: 385-P, 254-P, 139-I, 161-FZ) and to the numbers of reporting forms (for example, form 101, 202, 134, 135), as a result of which the banker’s speech becomes absolutely incomprehensible to the layman or novice.

Bankers like to speak in numbers of normative acts and laws, immediately understanding what norm or area of ​​regulation they are talking about, sometimes they just speak in numbers, and sometimes the speech of a banking specialist very often consists exclusively of abbreviations, which themselves add up to whole sentences! Honestly, the bankers don’t even notice that they are talking in slang!

Banking slang is not at all a subject of some special professional pride, and certainly not an element of importance or ambition, it is a language that is steadily used in the professional banking environment, a necessity caused by the high speed of work and the inability to speak fully and in detail, to this The bank just doesn’t have time. You quickly get used to slang, it is an objective reality, an established practice. But, without getting into the bank, you will not recognize and understand, in fact, this language. And once you get to the bank, you will certainly begin to speak slang yourself.

However, even within the same bank, employees of neighboring departments speak different “languages”. For example, the language of communication of bank accountants very often consists of words that may not be easily understood by other departments. In the everyday life of the accounting service, such concepts as “interbranch” (settlements on accounts opened within the bank for branches), “incomplete” (this is when money transferred through correspondent accounts, for example, does not have time to be credited to customer accounts, then they “hang on incomplete”) or “unexplained” (payments that cannot be credited to the account due to errors in the settlement document). Someone is responsible for reflecting operations on loans, deposits, plastic cards in the bank’s balance sheet, then the favorite words are: off-balance, over and tech-over, chargeback, front-end, synthetics and analytics. By the way, don’t be surprised when you hear the unusual word “national cover” – it just means the ruble equivalent of any currency.

How Many Hours Will You Work in a Part-Time Job?

In a full-time job, you can expect to work between 35 and 40 hours a week. But how many hours is a part-time job? Here’s what to expect.

By Brie Weiler Reynolds

In a full-time job, you can expect to work between 35 and 40 (or more) hours a week, on average. A part-time position offers flexibility for those who want or need to work but who can’t (or don’t want to) work full-time. But how many hours is a part-time position?

On the FlexJobs Career Coaching team, we often work with clients who are seeking part-time jobs. Most part-time job seekers know how many hours they’d ideally like to work, but finding jobs that match those preferences can be tricky because every employer defines “part-time” differently.

The short answer is that there are very few hard-and-fast parameters when it comes to the hours you’ll work in a part-time job. Part-time work usually requires fewer than 30-35 hours a week but can vary widely depending on the company, position, and agreement between the employer and the worker. Because of this wide range, searching for a part-time job that meets your schedule needs can be a bit confusing.

According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, just over 26 million people worked part-time in October 2020—nearly the same amount as those with part-time hours in October 2019. This means that, despite economic uncertainty and a global pandemic, part-time jobs are continuing to play an important role in the job market.

The benefits of professional part-time jobs can be appealing to someone looking for a career that allows for more control over their schedule. Part-time jobs are available in all industries, as well as at every skill and educational level. Plus, part-time work can be done in-office or remotely, and can include flexible hours or alternative schedules.

To help you find a part-job that fits in with your unique schedule and career goals, we’re answering the top questions about part-time hours.

Answers to Questions Regarding Part-Time Positions

1. How many hours is a part-time position? Are there any rules or laws that cover this?

Unfortunately, there’s not a simple definition of part-time hours. Many part-time positions have hours ranging anywhere from 5 to 35 hours a week.

• The Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) is a federal law that mandates issues such as a national minimum wage, overtime pay, and child labor. It does not, however, define part-time employment. Instead, the FLSA considers this a matter to be determined by an employer.
• The Bureau of Labor Statistics, which tracks participation in the U.S. workforce, counts part-time work as fewer than 35 hours worked per week.
• The IRS offers guidelines to help employers determine the line between part-time and full-time hours, with part-time employees averaging fewer than 30 hours per week for a calendar month.

However, this last one only applies to employers that are subject to the Affordable Care Act, which is any employer that has 50 or more full-time employees. Employers of this size must offer minimum essential coverage to full-time employees.

If you’re searching for part-time jobs, pay particular attention to the job description. It might give a range of hours expected for the job. Also, research the company to see how large the workforce is and whether it would be subject to the Affordable Care Act rules for part-time hours.

2. Are part-time jobs typically lower-level, or are there professional-level jobs with part-time hours, too?

Part-time positions can also be professional jobs, and that’s what we focus on at FlexJobs. Many professional part-time jobs exist either as stand-alone positions or as part of a job-sharing option, in which a full-time job is shared by two part-time workers.

When you look at the listings in the FlexJobs database, the part-time positions meet the following criteria:

1. The job requires 35 or fewer hours per week, as determined by the employer.
2. The job is a professional position, ranging from entry-level through executive-level.

As one of the most popular flexible work arrangements available, there are a large variety of professional part-time job postings on FlexJobs at any given moment.

 How to Handle a Part-Time Job Interview

During a job interview, you might be asked why you want a part-time job as opposed to a full-time position. Employers might be trying to ascertain if you’re serious about the potential role—or just looking for something to hold you over until a full-time opportunity comes along. You can always point out that at this point in your career, part-time work fits in better with your schedule while allowing you to contribute professionally to a company. If you’ve worked part-time in the past, you can mention how working a reduced schedule was beneficial to both you and the company.

Don’t feel that you have to make excuses as to why you want part-time work. Just be sure to ask about requirements during the interview process and make it clear which hours you are available to work.

Exactly How Many Hours Is Considered Part-Time?

Everything you need to know about how many hours is part time

If you’re evaluating jobs, wondering how many hours you’ll be expected to work is likely one of your primary considerations. Part-time jobs can be a great option for candidates who want greater flexibility with their time, as they leave more time for other activities and pursuits. However, you may be wondering how many hours is part-time. In this article, we discuss how many hours a week is part-time, along with some of the major benefits of working full-time hours.

What is a part-time job?

A part-time job is one where the employee works fewer hours per week than their employer considers full-time employment. That said, how an employee defines part-time can vary depending on the company policy. For example, a company could consider an employee part-time if they work fewer than 35 hours per week.

There are no legal definitions for what constitutes a full- or part-time employee. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics considers 35 hours per week full-time employment. However, that definition is only used for statistical purposes. The Fair Labor Standards Act, which sets the requirements for when employees are due overtime pay, doesn’t specify how many hours per week an employee has to work to be considered full-time, either. Ultimately, it comes down to how the employer defines full-time.

How many hours is part-time?

The number of hours that an employee works to be considered part-time can vary. However, as a general rule, employees who work between 20 and 29 hours per week are considered part-time employees. That said, the hours can vary depending on the position, company, and agreement.

What are the benefits of part-time hours?

Now that you better understand how many hours is considered part-time, you may be wondering what the primary benefits are for working part-time. There are a number of reasons why part-time hours might be beneficial for you, including:

Better flexibility and reduced stress

Working full-time hours can be tiring for employees. If your position exposes you to continuous stress, it can have a big impact on your overall performance and even cause your health to suffer. Working part-time hours can greatly reduce the amount of stress you deal with in the workplace, as you may not be given the same amount of responsibility.

You’ll also be better able to create a work/life balance by having more time off. Because you’ll be working fewer hours, you’ll have more time for your family, friends, and hobbies, which can increase the personal fulfillment you feel. You’ll also be in the office enough that you’ll still be able to develop a professional presence in the workplace.

Improve your time-management skills

When you work a part-time job, you have fewer hours during the day to accomplish your responsibilities, which is why part-time hours lend to stronger time management skills. You need to be able to manage your time properly, make smart decisions, and come up with effective solutions to problems to make the most of the time that you have.

New opportunities and new skills

When you work part-time hours, you have the opportunity to gain experience and training in a variety of different fields. Some employers may be reluctant to take on a new employee for full-time hours if they’re less experienced. However, they may be more willing to hire a less experienced candidate on a part-time basis if they’re enthusiastic and eager to learn.

Working part-time also makes it possible to work for more than one company at a time, allowing you to gain new experiences and develop new skills that you might not otherwise have had. If you want to move back to full-time hours at a later time, these new skills could make it possible for you to qualify for other types of positions.

More money

If you are capable of balancing more than one part-time job, you may be able to make more in your combined income than you would make if you were just working for one company full-time. Additionally, since many salaried employees work 50 or more hours per week, you may still work fewer hours by working multiple part-time jobs.

Time to pursue other activities and projects

One of the greatest advantages of part-time work is the ability to spend your free time pursuing other activities. A part-time job could be ideal, for example, if you’re pursuing a degree. The position could give you experience and still allowing you time to complete your degree. The combination of education and experience could lead to other, more advanced opportunities.

Part-time jobs could also make it possible to pursue professional advancements. For example, a part-time job could help you develop skills that could qualify you for other roles, or simply make it possible to obtain employment at a company you really want to work for, as you wait for a full-time opportunity to open up. Finally, a part-time job also gives you the flexibility to dedicate time to projects like writing, art, or civic outreach.

Do part-time employees get benefits?

The Fair Labor Standards Act doesn’t say whether part-time employees are entitled to the same benefits as those who work full-time. In many cases, it’s up to the employer to determine whether they will offer retirement plans, paid time off, and health insurance to part-time employees. It’s also up to the employer to set their own requirements for qualifying for benefits as a part-time employee. For example, the employer could require employees to be with the company for a certain length of time to qualify, regardless of whether they’re part- or full-time.

Employers who have 50 or more full-time employees are required to offer those individuals health insurance. However, they aren’t required to do so for part-time employees. Additionally, employers typically aren’t required by law to give paid time off to any of their employees. Even holiday pay isn’t mandatory. If employers decide to offer holiday pay to employees, they can choose to extend the offer of paid holidays to their part-time employees as well. However, the choice is ultimately up to the employer.

How many hours part-time work: benefits and job options

When you are looking for a job, one of your key concerns will be how many hours you will be asked to work. Part-time jobs can be a fantastic alternative for people who want more time flexibility as they allow more time for other interests and pursuits. However, you may be asking how many hours make up a part-time job. In this post, we’ll take a look at how many hours per week count as part-time work, as well as some of the main benefits of working full-time.

What is a part-time job?

A part-time job is one in which a person works fewer hours per week than his employer considers a full-time job. However, in accordance with corporate policy, the definition of a part-time worker may differ. A corporation, for example, may consider an employee a part-time employee if they work less than 35 hours a week.

How many hours per week are considered part-time work?

There are no official government criteria to determine whether an employee is classified as full-time or part-time. While the Fair Labor Standards Act establishes legally binding criteria for hours, overtime, and wages that US employers must follow, it does not specify how many hours per week a person must work to be considered a full-time worker.

Persons who work at least 35 hours a week are classified as regular employees by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, but this figure is for statistical purposes only and has no legal significance. However, many organizations use this figure as a guide for developing rules.

How many hours per day is a full day?

Full-time employment is defined by the IRS and the Affordable Care Act (called Obamacare) as anyone who works 30 hours or more per week or 130 hours or more per month. The US Department of Labor does not define full employment.

Full-time or part-time

Part-time employees typically work less than 32 hours per week, while full-time employees typically work 32-40 hours per week. As such, part-time workers typically receive limited benefits and health care. Part-time employees are often not eligible for paid leave, health insurance, or paid sick leave.

Pros and cons of part-time work.

There are many considerations to consider before accepting a part-time job. While employer, role, travel to work, and income are all important factors, the advantages and disadvantages that are typical of part-time positions must also be assessed.

Benefits of part-time work

Part-time work is ideal for people who need a steady income but don’t want to work full time. Here are some examples of part-time benefits:

#1. Great adaptability.

Part-time work is often more flexible than full-time work and may allow you to set your own schedule. This is useful if you have other responsibilities, such as caring for a loved one, doing other work, or going to school.

No. 2. Income supplement.

Part-time work is a fantastic source of additional stable income that can be supplemented by other full-time or part-time jobs. You can also take a part-time job to increase your income while pursuing other goals such as starting your own business or attending school.

#3. Opportunity to explore other hobbies.

Part-time work allows you to pursue other interests or opportunities outside of work.

Cons of part-time work

While part-time work can be beneficial for some, there are a few things to consider before taking on this form of work:

#1. Right to benefits.

While some firms provide benefits for part-time employees, many do not. During the hiring process, ask about any perks you want, such as health insurance or paid time off.

No. 2. Possible decrease in income.

Part-time work, whether paid on a fixed income or hourly basis, can sometimes pay less than a full-time job.

#3. Less room for growth.

Many managerial jobs require full-time employment. Some promotions may not be eligible if you are unable to work full time.

Do you receive benefits if you work part-time?

The benefits you qualify for will depend on where you work, just like the number of hours you work part-time. Many businesses limit benefits, such as dental insurance or child care allowance, to full-time employees. Others choose to extend some or all of their benefits to part-time employees. Some of the perks that are often given to part-time employees include paid time off, life insurance, and paid time off (PTO), Reynolds said.

Although some states and cities have more employee-friendly benefit laws, there are several statutory federal benefits that part-time workers may be eligible for anywhere in the country depending on their specific situation:

Health insurance

When people in the United States discuss benefits, health insurance is often at the top of the list. While some firms provide health insurance to some or all of their part-time workers, many do not. However, the Affordable Care Act (ACA), also known as Obamacare, requires any company with more than 50 full-time employees to provide health coverage to individuals who work more than 30 hours per week or 130 hours in total in a given calendar month. otherwise they face a fine. Even if your employer considers you a part-time employee because you work less than 40 hours a week, you may still be legally entitled to health insurance.

FMLA

The Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) is a United States law that requires employees to be allowed to take up to 12 weeks of unpaid leave without losing their job because an employee (or her spouse) has given birth to a child, an employee has adopted child or adopted a foster child into their home, the worker must care for the next of kin with a serious illness, or the worker must care for the next family member with a serious illness.

If you have been with the company for at least a year, have worked 1,250 hours in the 12 months prior to your vacation (or approximately 25 hours per week), and your employer has more than 50 employees, you can take an FMLA for termination even if you are only part-time working day, according to Reynolds.

Overtime compensation

When you work more than 40 hours a week, you are entitled to overtime pay, which must be at least one and a half times your normal rate. Overtime pay is available to all non-tax exempt part-time or full-time employees who work more than 40 hours on seven consecutive days. (Typically, exempt employees are paid executive, administrative, professional, computer, and external sales professionals whose duties meet certain criteria and who earn more than $684 per week or $35,568 per year.)

Although part-time employees are unlikely to work more than 40 hours a week, this can sometimes happen, for example during high season or if they take a shift to replace a colleague. Some states and cities have higher thresholds for tax-exempt employee wages and/or a certain number of hours worked on a given day before overtime begins, so check your local employment regulations.

Part-Time Agreements

Many awards, corporate agreements, and other registered agreements include provisions for keeping records of part-time employees’ hours of work.

General part-time work schedules

Part-time employees may work fewer working days or fewer days per week than full-time employees. Professionals interested in part-time work can choose from a variety of work schedules.

Here are some examples of common forms of part-time work:

#1. Schedule for freelancers

Freelancers are usually hired on a contract basis. They may work remotely or on site, depending on the position and business requirements. While freelancers are not often eligible for benefits, they can have more freedom and control than traditional employees.

#2 Alternate Schedule

Alternate Schedule is different from any other type of schedule currently used by the employer. An alternate schedule may be used to meet special or temporary needs of employees, such as pregnancy, family issues, or medical needs.

#3. Split schedule

Split schedule is when an employee has a lot of days off between shifts. For example, a person can work from 8:10 to 3:10 and then from 10:10 to 9:00. This is a great option for people who have other obligations that prevent them from working extended shifts.

No. 4. Duty staff schedule

When an employee is on duty, he or she must be available for work at any time the employer requires. Duty schedules are usually rotated between employees, so that no one person is required to stay in touch all the time. Duty schedules are often required for occupations associated with emergency services such as doctors, nurses, firefighters, paramedics, and social workers.

What are the best part-time jobs?

Part-time work has traditionally been in the retail, fast food and hospitality industries as they often require flexible hours to accommodate changes in demand. However, more and more professionals are increasingly working part-time to give both the employee and the business more freedom.

When a company is in the midst of its busiest season, a full-time employee is unable to work, or another condition occurs, a part-time employee may be required to work overtime.

Examples of part-time jobs

Part-time employers typically look for employees who can be flexible and contribute wherever they are needed. While there are always part-time jobs in the hospitality and retail industry, you can also find part-time work in any field you are trained in.

Here are some examples of highly paid part-time jobs:

№1. Accountant

Accountants are responsible for the analysis and management of a company’s finances, including cost accounting and taxation, and the day-to-day monitoring and maintenance of a company’s financial activities. Accounting firms, organizations, and even individuals can hire part-time accountants during the tax season.

No. 2. Programmer

Programmers create software using programming languages ​​such as C++ or Java. Programmers must successfully navigate the back end of computer software while improving the user experience. Many businesses hire part-time programmers to help with special projects or do extra work that the in-house staff cannot handle.

#3. Graphic Designer

Graphic designers design print and digital assets such as logos, email templates, websites, and marketing materials such as banners, advertisements, and postcards. They often freelance for multiple clients at the same time or may work within the same firm.

No. 4. Management Consultant

Management consultants study company processes to identify opportunities to improve and optimize efficiency. In most cases, management analysts are trying to increase an organization’s bottom line by reducing costs and increasing revenue. If you have significant experience as a director or manager, you can work as a management consultant.

No. 5. Market research analyst

Market research analysts identify market trends by observing the buying behavior of the audience. Sharing this information with businesses allows them to better target and sell to their customers. Employers can hire market research analysts on a full-time, part-time, seasonal, or contract basis.

No. 6. Material mover

Item movers, sometimes referred to as “handymen”, carry materials from one place to another. They mostly work in factories and warehouses. They are often responsible for moving goods around the warehouse, packing goods for shipping, and unloading. This work is often associated with physical activity.

No. 7. Network Administrator

If you have a bachelor’s degree in computer science or information technology, you might be interested in working as a network and computer systems administrator. Network administrators are responsible for designing and maintaining an organization’s internal network systems. They are responsible for making networks work quickly and securely. When problems arise, many companies hire part-time IT consultants.

No. 8. Writer

Part-time writers may provide content for blogs, websites, magazines, advertisements, books, songs, and films. Some writers work within a corporation or organization, while others work under contract or freelance for many clients.

No. 9. editor

Editors are responsible for organizing, organizing, reviewing and correcting content for publication in newspapers, books, emails, websites or magazines. Editors can also review topic suggestions and provide advice to editors.

Overtime for part-time employees:

Part-time employees may sometimes be required to work overtime or more than 40 hours per week. Overtime for part-time employees is subject to the FLSA standards for exempt and non-exempt employees. Most likely, you will be forced to pay part-time overtime, but be sure to carefully read the laws.

Sometimes what seemed like a temporary adjustment turns out to be a long-term one, and a part-time employee may end up working full-time for an extended period of time.

When does a part-time employee move to full-time?

If a part-time employee normally works full-time but does not receive full-time compensation, this could lead to IRS and ERISA violations. You’ll want to have some sort of policy that governs when a part-time employee goes full-time, so you can consistently offer benefits to your entire firm.

How to interview for a part-time job

During your interview, you may be asked why you prefer a part-time job to a full-time career. Employers may be trying to determine if you’re serious about a potential position or if you’re just looking for something to keep you going until a full-time job comes along. You can always argue that at this point in your career, part-time jobs fit better into your schedule, but still allow you to make a professional contribution to the company. If you have previously worked part-time, explain how the reduced hours have been beneficial to both you and the firm.

Don’t feel compelled to come up with an explanation for why you want to work part-time. Simply ask about needs throughout the interview process and make it clear when you are ready to work.

Are part-time jobs often at a lower level, or are there professional-level part-time jobs as well?

We can find professional part-time jobs. Many part-time professional jobs are available as separate roles or as part of a job-sharing agreement in which a full-time job is divided between two part-time workers.

Part-time in the FlexJobs database meets the following criteria:

• The job requires 35 or fewer hours per week as determined by the employer.
• Professional position, from entry level to executive level.

As one of the most popular flexible work arrangements, there is a wide range of professional part-time positions available at any time.

How are part-time workers paid?

Full-time employees are paid at the end of the month or at any other frequency determined by the firm. On the other hand, part-time workers face a slightly different situation. Companies usually pay them by the hour. They can be paid weekly, bimonthly or monthly. Some part-time employees can also set their remuneration as often as they wish.

At the end of the pay/project period, the employer multiplies the hourly rate by the number of part-time hours worked by each employee to determine the total cost.

What are part-time taxes?

The number of hours worked part-time does not affect the taxes paid. They are the same for both full-time and freelance employees. The employer still has to withhold income tax and FICA taxes.

The corporation must also pay unemployment taxes for both types of employees.

Why is it important to determine how many hours are part-time?

Before they can reach an agreement, the firm and the individual must first determine how many hours part-time.

Companies must maintain fair part-time work for part-time workers and not exploit their employees. As stated earlier, under the ACA, there is a minimum number of hours an employee must work in order to receive benefits. However, in many cases there is no upper limit, leading to exploitation of employees.

Companies in Canada have an upper limit on the number of hours an employee can work. Under this law, full-time employees must work 40 hours a week. Anything above this is considered overtime, and non-exempt workers are paid 1.5 times the hourly wage rate.

How old do you have to be to work part-time?

The FLSA establishes wage, hourly wage, and safety requirements for workers under 18 years of age. And, according to the FLSA, you must be 14 to work, although there are limits on the number of hours that anyone under 16 can work. Work.

There are also some jobs that young workers cannot do because of dangerous working conditions, such as farm work or jobs that require workers to drive or operate machinery. In addition, some jobs that require employees to serve alcohol, such as restaurants and bars, may require employees to be over 18 years of age, but limits vary by state.

Rights of part-time workers

Part-time workers may not be treated less favorably than fellow full-time workers just because they work part-time.

A part-time employee works fewer hours than a full-time employee. There is no set number of hours that defines a person as a full-time or part-time worker, but a full-time worker often works 35 or more hours a week.

Part-time workers should be treated the same as full-time workers in the following areas:

• wage rates (including sickness benefit, maternity leave, parental leave child and adoption leave and pay)
• Retirement opportunities and benefits
• holidays
• education and promotion
• selection for promotion and transfer or for dismissal
• possibility of a career break

Some benefits are applied on a pro rata basis (in proportion to hours worked). For example, if a full-time employee receives a £1,000 Christmas bonus and a part-time employee works half the hours, the part-time employee should receive £500.

Overtime pay. Part-time employees may not be eligible for overtime pay until they have worked more hours than a full-time employee.

When businesses may treat part-time employees differently

In some cases, companies are not required to treat part-time employees the same as full-time employees. In some cases, the employer must be able to demonstrate that there is a good reason for doing so – this is known as “objective justification”.

Example

If reasonably justified, a company may provide health insurance for full-time employees, but not for part-time employees. Their reasoning may be that the associated costs are disproportionate to the benefits to which part-time workers are entitled.

In this case, the employer can find a solution, such as asking the part-time worker to contribute to the additional costs.

If a part-time worker is being treated unfairly,

Part-time workers should first discuss the matter with their employer or union representative.

They have the right to have their employer provide them with a written explanation of their treatment. The request must be made in writing and the employer must respond within 21 days.
If an employee is not satisfied that the explanation provided was objectively reasonable, he or she may be entitled to file a claim with an employment tribunal.

Statement

Because there is no legal requirement, the number of hours you will be asked to work part-time depends on the employer. You may work the same number of hours per week, or you may work fewer hours on some days or weeks than others, depending on your arrangement.

It’s also good to know that some jobs allow you to work full time if your needs change or another opportunity arises. If your career goal is to work full-time for a company, it may be helpful to accept a part-time job and let the employer know that you are interested in additional work as needed.

There are several benefits to working part-time, and there are many alternatives if you want to work fewer hours than a full-time job requires.

Frequently asked questions about part-time hours

How many hours per day do you work part-time?

Average 4 hours per day

Do I pay tax if I work part-time?

If you work part-time and earn more than a certain amount, your employer must withhold taxes and National Insurance contributions from your wages just as if you were working full-time. If you work part-time for more than one employer, you will be assigned a special tax code to ensure correct taxation.

Can I ask to work part-time?

So, if you’ve worked 26 weeks and want to switch from full-time to part-time, the law says you have the right to ask your employer to do so. They are not required to agree to your request, but they must consider it fairly.

Will I lose my job if I work part-time?

Part-time work or temporary work may affect your unemployment benefit. If you earn more than 50% of your weekly benefit, your benefit will be reduced. For example, if your weekly allowance is $300, your part-time job could bring you up to $150 per week.

6. What is the difference between a rate of 0.5 and a part-time job – Kontur.Accounting

   It is beneficial for an employer to accept a part-time employee if it suits the business. But you need to correctly register the employee and indicate in the contract the number of working hours and the amount of payment. And here the employer is faced with the terms – “part-time” or “part-time”. What is the difference, we will analyze in the article.

   What is part-time

   There is no definition of “half-time” in the law, but only “part-time work” (Article 93 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation). This is a well-established term for a schedule and salary: an employee works less and receives half the pay of the whole rate.

   Part-time work is a situation where an employee works less than 40 hours a week (Article 93 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation). Working hours can be cut in different ways, then it turns out:

   • part-time,
   • partial shift,
   • part week,
   • division of the working day into parts.

   The employer himself monitors the hours worked, writes them down in the time sheet. According to the timesheet, the salary is calculated.

   How to draw up an employment contract for a part-time job

   You can hire an employee for a part-time job at his request, by agreement of the parties, or by order of the organization. You can’t just change the rate – for this, use the contract in the form No. T-1 or another that is approved by the company. Indicate how the employee was hired – for the main position or part-time, and then fill in the working hours:

   • duration of the working week;
   • start and end time of work;
   • lunch break;
   • other types of rest breaks;
   • number of working days and days off in a week.

   After that, include the terms of remuneration and the rules for its calculation in the contract. Specify the full salary or tariff rate based on the staffing table for one employee.

   If the need for a transfer arose after being hired, then the salary will decrease, then conclude an additional agreement to the employment contract.

   How to pay wages at a partial rate

   Salary is calculated in proportion to hours worked. Let’s say, when hiring part-time, an employee out of 60,000 ₽ will receive only 30,000 ₽. Taxes are calculated from the actual salary.

   Other work bonuses remain the same as for the full bet. An employee takes 28 days off every year, receives a salary twice a month and paid sick leave. Seniority for pensions is considered unchanged. At a part-time rate, there is even a lunch break of at least 30 minutes if the shift is more than 4 hours (Letter of the Ministry of Labor of the Russian Federation of November 17, 2017 No. 14-2 / ​​B-1012).

   Family care

   If an employee has children or elderly parents, then at the request of the employee, working hours will have to be reduced. Transfer to part-time is allowed for:

   • pregnant women;
   • parents or guardians of a child under 14;
   • parents or guardians of a disabled child under 18;
   • employees caring for a sick relative with an ITU certificate.

   Before transferring to a part-time job, check if someone else in the family can take care of the child. To do this, ask for a certificate of the second parent’s work schedule (Ministry of Labor from Letter No. 14-2 / ​​B-1012). If it turns out that the other parent is not employed, then you can refuse to reduce hours.

   Choose the schedule that suits both you and the employee. The law does not specify how many days and hours you need to work. You can reduce the working day to at least a couple of hours or only thirty minutes before the end of the shift. The main thing is that the employee is comfortable and the business does not suffer.

   Sometimes it’s impossible to agree: for example, an employee needs to pick up a child from kindergarten before lunch, and at work at this time the peak of tasks. Then the employee can contact Rostrud and file a complaint. For this, the inspectors can write you a fine, but they will not help you choose a schedule, and then you will have to return to negotiations again.

   Minors and disabled people

   Some workers are required to work less due to their age and state of health (Article 92 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation). The state calculated the norm of hours for them:

   • workers under 16 years of age – no more than 24 hours per week;
   • workers aged 16 to 18 and disabled people – no more than 35 hours per week;
   • workers in hazardous production – no more than 36 hours per week.

   If the minor is studying, the week should be reduced to 12 hours for teens under 16 or 17.5 hours for teens 16 to 18.

   When the employer himself transfers to a part-time job

   Changes may occur in the company: they closed the outlet or transferred it online, and now instead of the seller they need a manager who will deal with orders for a couple of hours a day.

   If the amount of work decreases, you can reduce the employee’s working time. This is done for six months if the situation is temporary (Article 74 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation), but then the employee must either be returned to full time or reduced.

   Part-time transfer is entered by order. Give the employee two months’ notice. If part-time work does not suit him, you can offer the employee a reduction with the payment of a severance pay of two earnings.

   Risks when transferring to a part-time position

   Part-time transfers are monitored by regulatory authorities, so this should not be abused. The Federal Tax Service is looking for companies that may underpay taxes. They are selected according to the criteria from Order No. MM-3-06/333@ dated May 30, 2007, for example, understating wages.

   This happens if the organization has reduced the working day to six hours. But employees may not be able to cope with the amount of work during this time, they will have to stay late. Under this regime, the employee will receive less than he should. Inspectors will suspect a gray scheme and tax evasion, and this is a reason to check.

   An employee can recover lost wages if he actually worked full time, and also receive compensation for non-pecuniary damage. Therefore, it is better to ensure that employees cope with the amount of work.

   For each violation, the employer is fined under Art. 5.27 Administrative Code of the Russian Federation:

   • for individual entrepreneurs from 1,000 to 5,000 rubles;
   • for LLC from 30,000 to 50,000 rubles, and for a director from 1,000 to 5,000 rubles.

   For repeated violations, fines increase.

Combining Breastfeeding and Pumping: Reason, Tips, and More

Combining Breastfeeding and Pumping: Reason, Tips, and More

Medically reviewed by Mia Armstrong, MD — By Catherine Crider on August 24, 2021

Peanut butter and jelly. Movies and popcorn. Shoes and socks. Some of the best things in life come in combos. But what about breastfeeding and pumping?

If your milk supply is low or you just need some extra expressed milk for bottles, you may be wondering how to combine breastfeeding and pumping, if it will increase your supply, or if there are any downsides to it.

Have no fear: We’ve got answers! Plus we have some tips if you do decide to try breastfeeding and pumping.

There are many reasons you might choose to do a combination of breastfeeding and pumping. A few common ones include:

• Increasing your milk supply. Breast milk production generally works on supply and demand. The more milk is drawn out, the more milk your breasts may potentially make. If you are trying to increase your milk supply, this can be a good first step to try.
• Helping with discomfort. This involves clearing milk out of your breasts to help with clogged ducts and mastitis (inflammation of breast tissue).
• For bottles. You may want to have some breast milk for bottle feeding if you need to be away from your baby for any length of time.
• Breastfeeding difficulties. If your baby has challenges latching or drinking a sufficient amount from your breast alone, it can be helpful to have some extra milk on hand to follow up breastfeeding with a bottle.

If you’re considering combined breastfeeding and pumping, here are a few suggestions to help you get started:

• Breastfeed first. It’s generally best to pump after breastfeeding. That way your little one can have their fill first, you’ll be able to empty your breasts fully after, and your breasts will have maximum time to refill before the next feed!
• Use your hands. Hands-on pumping and hand expression can help to increase the amount of milk you get out of your breasts. Doing these things can also help increase the amount of milk your breasts produce in the future.
• Get storage. You may wish to use a Haakaa silicone breast pump or other milk storage container to collect the milk leaking from the breast your baby is not currently using, so this milk isn’t lost before you pump.
• Find the best fit. Before pumping, make sure to double-check the flanges to make sure that they fit properly. This can help prevent damage to your nipples and discomfort while you pump.
• Keep accessories handy. You may want to place a few baskets around your house near your favorite breastfeeding locations that hold a water bottle, easy-to-eat adult snacks, nipple cream, burp clothes, wipes, and diapers, so you don’t have to get up to look for these items once you start feeding and pumping.
• Learn bottle feeding techniques. Use the paced bottle feeding method to help ensure that your baby is more likely to want to continue breastfeeding. (As an added bonus, a 2018 study showed that this may just help to prevent respiratory and ear issues!)
• Warm up. If you’re having trouble getting your body to let down with the pump, consider placing something warm on your chest first and looking at videos of your little one while you pump.

If your goal is to increase your supply, you may want to consider a technique known as power pumping. Power pumping mimics the more frequent feeding style of an infant who is cluster feeding.

Exact power pumping schedules can vary. Generally, you’ll want to try pumping for 1 to 2 hours per day for 1 or 2 weeks to increase your milk supply.

A sample power pumping routine might look like this:

• 20 minutes pumping
• 10 minutes rest
• 10 minutes pumping
• 10 minutes rest
• 10 minutes pumping
• 10 minutes rest

Potential benefits

• increasing the amount of milk your breasts produce
• extra expressed breast milk for periods of separation or if you become ill
• relieving engorgement pressure and helping prevent clogged ducts
• encouraging your baby to accept bottle feeding so they don’t rely solely on breastfeeding

Potential downsides

• Oversupply issues, such as clogged ducts, engorgement, and mastitis, may occur if the additional pumping increases your supply too much.
• Milk can spoil if it’s not properly handled and stored.
• More pumping will mean more things to keep sanitized to prevent the spread of germs.
• Pumping supplies add additional costs.
• Your breasts/nipples may be more tender due to the longer amounts of suction.

You should speak with your doctor or your child’s pediatrician for guidance if you have any specific health concerns or if problems develop when you combine breastfeeding and pumping.

Making decisions around formula, breast milk, and pumping can feel overwhelming. Being informed can help you feel more confident in whatever choice you make.

There are many individuals and organizations that can offer you advice and resources. A few places you can reach out are:

• La Leche League International
• a local breastfeeding support group
• a private lactation consultant (IBCLC)
• your child’s pediatrician
• Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) program
• Nursing Mother’s Counsel

If you find that your breast milk supply is lower than you (or your baby) would like it, a combination of breastfeeding and pumping might help. Pumping after breastfeeding sessions can also offer a way to collect breast milk for bottles when you need some extra sleep or have to be away from your baby for an extended period of time.

Schedules for breastfeeding and pumping can vary depending on many factors, so you may want to discuss your situation with a lactation consultant.

If you experience breast discomfort or find that your milk supply is at an uncomfortable level, you’ll want to talk with your doctor or a lactation professional. Their support can help to make your experience breastfeeding and pumping a more comfortable one. It’s important to remember that everyone’s experiences are different!

You may find that you love doing a combination of breastfeeding and pumping, or you might discover just like peanut butter and jelly, it’s overrated to you. It’s OK to feel however you feel. There’s no one right answer when it comes to feeding a baby!

Breastfeeding FAQs: Supply and Demand (for Parents)

Breastfeeding is a natural thing to do, but it still comes with its fair share of questions. Here’s what you need to know about your milk supply.

How Do I Know if I’m Making Enough Milk for My Baby?

Your baby’s diapers can help you tell if your little one is getting enough to eat. The more your baby nurses, the more dirty diapers you’ll see.

Pee

Because colostrum is concentrated, your baby may have only one or two wet diapers in the first 24 hours of life. After 3–4 days, look for:

• 6 or more wet diapers per day, with clear or very pale pee. Fewer wet diapers or darker pee may mean your baby’s not getting enough to drink. If you see orange crystals in a wet diaper, call your baby’s doctor. They’re common in healthy, well-fed babies and usually not a cause for concern. But sometimes they’re a sign that a baby isn’t getting enough fluids.

Poop

A newborn’s poop is thick and tarry at first, then more greenish-yellow as mom’s milk comes in. After 3–4 days, look for:

• 4 or more yellow, seedy poops per day, usually one after each feeding. After about a month, babies poop less often, and many may go a few days without pooping.

Your baby probably is getting enough milk if your little one:

• feeds 8–12 times a day
• seems satisfied and content after eating
• sleeps well
• is alert when awake
• is gaining weight

If you’re worried that you baby isn’t getting enough to eat, call your doctor.

How Can I Increase My Milk Supply?

Your milk supply depends on how often you nurse or pump your breasts. The more you breastfeed or pump, the more milk your body makes. So, if you seem to be producing less milk than usual, nurse your baby more often. You also can pump after nursing to help stimulate more milk production.

Some things, like stress, illness, and some medicines, can temporarily lower your supply. But drinking plenty of water and eating nutritious foods can help. Also try to take some time for yourself each day, even if it’s only for 15–30 minutes.

If your baby is younger than 6 months old and you’re away from each other for long stretches during the day, pump or hand express every 3 hours to maintain your supply. 

If your milk supply still seems low and you’re concerned, talk to your doctor or a lactation consultant.

If I Wait to Nurse, Will My Milk Supply Increase?

Actually, no — it’s the opposite. Waiting too long to nurse or pump can slowly reduce your milk supply. The more you delay nursing or pumping, the less milk your body will make. That’s because overfilled (engorged) breasts send a signal to your brain that you need to make less milk.

I’m Producing Too Much Milk. What Can I Do?

Some women may feel like they don’t have enough milk, while others may feel like they make too much. Some mothers’ bodies just make more milk than their babies need. Others overstimulate their breasts by pumping or expressing milk between feedings.

If you feel like you have too much milk, here are some ideas:

• Alternate the breast that you start each feeding with. Let your baby stay at the first breast until either the breast is very soft or your baby is full. If your baby is not satisfied with the first breast, offer the second breast.
• Try nursing on only one breast at each feeding, if possible. Over time, you may notice your milk supply and “let-down reflex” (the milk ejection reflex) get easier to handle.
• If expressing or pumping to relieve discomfort, remove just enough to feel comfortable but don’t empty the breast completely.

If you’ve tried these things and you still have problems with too much milk, talk to your doctor or lactation consultant.

My Baby Nurses on Just One Breast. Will This Hurt My Supply?

Some babies will be satisfied after nursing from only one breast. Others might prefer one breast over the other. If your baby has only fed from one breast and you are comfortable at the end of a feeding, you don’t need to pump. But if either breast is still full and uncomfortable, pump or hand express to comfort.

To keep up your milk supply in both breasts (and to prevent painful engorgement), it’s best to alternate breasts, whether in the same feeding session or between different sessions. Remember to keep your baby on the first breast until it’s soft, and then move your baby to the second breast. This ensures that your little one gets the hindmilk, which is creamier and has more calories than the foremilk, which comes at the beginning of a feeding.

My Baby Is Sleeping Longer At Night. Will This Hurt My Supply?

When babies reach their birth weight and can sleep for longer stretches at night, the time between nighttime feedings gradually lengthens.

Letting your baby sleep for longer periods during the night won’t hurt your breastfeeding efforts. Your growing baby can take in more milk during the day — and that, in turn, means longer stretches of sleep at night. Your milk supply will adjust to the new routine.

If you wake during the night with full breasts and a sleeping baby, consider expressing or pumping for comfort to help your body adjust to the new schedule.

If you follow your baby’s cues and spread out the feedings, your milk supply should keep up with your baby’s needs.

Article “Pumping – when and how?”

There are times in the life of mother and baby when breastfeeding is either impossible or difficult for some reason. For example, a child has to be left without a mother for several hours – which means that a supply of milk is needed for him. Or in the case when the baby sucks badly at the breast, but eats well from the bottle, and pumping is the only way to feed him.

This can happen if the baby is born prematurely, and the very process of sucking the mother’s breast turns out to be hard physical work for him – such an infant can also be offered expressed milk.

The same applies to the situation when the baby is ill and feeling unwell prevents him from fully sucking, as he is too weak to make the efforts necessary to “extract” breast milk. In this case, it should be expressed for 2 reasons: firstly, to provide the child with complete and optimal nutrition for him, and secondly, to maintain lactation.

Situations are different, so it is important to understand why pumping is necessary, how to do it correctly and what are the conditions for storing breast milk.

When and why to express?

Pumping is the process by which a nursing mother manually or with the help of a breast pump extracts milk from her breast.

This is not a mandatory procedure for everyone, and it does not need to be carried out after each feeding, since the milk in the female breast is formed exactly as much as is needed to saturate the baby at a certain age. Those. how much milk the baby ate in one feeding – so much will appear in the breast by the next.

But if, after applying, you also express the rest of the milk, then by the upcoming feeding it will be produced more than the child can eat – and this often leads to stagnation of milk (lactostasis).

Milk should be expressed when:

• Having to bottle feed or supplement a baby for one reason or another. If at the same time the pediatrician did not forbid the baby to eat breast milk, then the mother needs to feed the baby expressed.

• The baby is left without a mother for a long time. There are times when a woman needs to go away, and she cannot take the child with her. In this case, you can leave a supply of milk for several hours, after decanting it.

• Mom is sick. It happens that during lactation a woman becomes seriously ill and is forced to take medications that penetrate into breast milk, which is strictly forbidden to give to a child. Medicines contained in milk, once in the child’s body, can have an adverse effect on it. To prevent this from happening, the pediatrician will help you choose the milk formula that you need to feed the baby during the mother’s illness. Pumping in such a situation will help a woman maintain lactation until recovery.

• Mom goes to work. A mother’s return to work before the end of lactation can put her before a choice: transfer the baby to formula milk or feed it with expressed milk. Recently, more and more parents are choosing the latter option, since breast milk is much healthier than artificial nutrition.

• Injured nipples. With improper care and attachment of the child to the breast, cracks may appear on the nipples. Feeding in this condition of the nipples becomes very painful for the mother, and then the baby should be briefly transferred to expressed milk from a bottle. This is useful because the nipples are less likely to get irritated when they are expressed than when they are sucked by an infant. In a few days, the nipples will heal, and it will be possible to resume feeding the crumbs directly from the breast.

• There is a risk of lactostasis. A child, especially in the first days after birth, is not always able to suck out all the milk. To avoid lactostasis, mom needs to express excess milk. If this is not done in a timely manner, stagnation of milk can lead to inflammation of the mammary gland – mastitis. However, you must follow all the rules of pumping and do not resort to it after each feeding: this will only increase the flow of milk.

• Not enough milk is produced. Pumping will help normalize lactation, as it leads to an increase in the production of milk in the breast, which can be useful during a lactation crisis.

5 pumping inhibitions

In order not to harm herself and not leave the baby without breast milk, the mother must know and be sure to follow the basic rules of pumping:

1. Do not express more than 3 times a day if pumping is combined with breastfeeding because this will lead to excess milk production. If the mother is sick and the baby is not applied to the breast, it is necessary to express with a frequency approximately equal to the number of feedings (on average, once every 3 hours – 8 times a day).

2. Do not express immediately after feeding, as this may lead to hyperlactation, ie. increased milk production.

3. Do not express “to the last drop”. The main indicator by the end of pumping should be a feeling of relief in the chest. The female body regards the emptying of the breast without a trace as an increased need for milk by the child – and begins to produce more milk, which the baby cannot eat, therefore, there will be a threat of milk stagnation.

4. Do not express during the night, as this may also lead to the formation of excess milk. The main hormone responsible for milk production – prolactin – has a daily rhythm of formation, most of all it is produced at night, in response to the baby sucking or pumping.

5. Do not express on the first day after the arrival of milk. Usually, when lactation begins, more milk is produced than the newborn needs, and it is necessary to get rid of its excess. Therefore, just at the time of the arrival of milk, you can not express everything without a trace. If the breast is very dense, then it is recommended to express only a small amount of milk so that it becomes softer and the baby can fully capture and eat it.

Substances that signal that milk is being produced in excess appear in the filled breast after about 1 day. If you express all the milk accumulated in the chest earlier than in a day, then it will be produced in the same amount.

Hand Expression Technique

There are two ways to express – manually and with a breast pump. Usually, each mother chooses the most convenient option for her. It is better to do it manually at home, when a woman has enough time, since the whole process will take some time. Breast pumps will help a working mother, which greatly facilitate the pumping process.

Rules for hand pumping

It is best to express milk 10-15 minutes after the end of feeding the baby. Wash your hands thoroughly beforehand. If you use any breast cream, wipe the skin and nipples with a cotton swab or pad soaked in breast milk. Prepare a wide-mouth milk container by first washing it under running water and then sterilizing it (by boiling, in a steam sterilizer or in a dishwasher).

Sit comfortably, keeping your back straight, because pumping can take some time, and an uncomfortable position can cause back pain.

Gently grasp the chest: the little finger is under the chest at the ribs, the remaining fingers are positioned so as to support the chest from below. The thumb lies on top, about 3-4 cm from the nipple. In this case, the thumb and forefinger are located opposite each other, forming the letter “C”.

Use your thumb and forefinger to gently press down on your chest and hold this position for a few seconds. In no case do not bring your fingers together, they should remain in the same position, the letter “C”.

Repeat pressing, moving the palm in a circle – this way you will use all the ducts of the mammary gland.

Be patient, milk may not come out immediately, but only after a while. If you are pumping for the first time, check with your doctor or lactation consultant beforehand to show you how to proceed.

Manual pumping errors

Do not squeeze the nipple: this way you will only hurt yourself and injure the breast, and you will not express milk fully.

Do not press the palm too tightly against the skin, moving the hand across the chest so that there is no irritation and microtrauma.

Do not give up at the first unsuccessful attempts, be patient.

Breast pumps

Breast pumps make pumping much easier, as they are designed to fit all the anatomical features of the female breast.

Which one to choose? Breast pumps are divided into mechanical and electrical. In the first case, the pumping process is carried out manually: by squeezing the “pear”, the woman starts the suction mechanism. Electric models are good because they work independently: from the mains or from batteries (batteries, accumulators) and do not require additional effort on the part of the woman.

Mom usually chooses a breast pump model according to her taste and financial capabilities. It should be borne in mind that devices powered by batteries lose power faster than devices powered by the mains.

Many women are confused by the fact that electric breast pumps are loud enough. To date, there are a large number of silent devices, which is recommended to pay attention to when buying. The most effective are electric breast pumps that express both breasts at the same time and have the option of adjusting the thrust force and suction speed.

When choosing a breast pump, pay attention to the presence of the “boil and sterilize” marking. There must be the possibility of such heat treatment of parts of the apparatus. If the model cannot be boiled and sterilized, it is better to refuse to purchase it and look for another one.

Rules for expressing with a breast pump

Before pumping for the first time, carefully read the instructions for the device. Check that it is properly assembled.

Sterilize the funnel and sump (boil or use a sterilizer).

Position the funnel so that the nipple is in the center of the funnel.

The draw should be the lowest, especially at first, until the breast is accustomed to expressing with a breast pump. Each breast must be pumped until a feeling of relief, add 2 minutes to this time. On average, the process will take about 15 minutes.

Pumping, like manual pumping, should be carried out some time after feeding.

Basic mistakes when expressing with a breast pump

Incorrect position of the funnel of the breast pump can cause pain to the woman. Remember: the nipple should be located strictly in the center of the funnel of the device.

Very long pumping. Do not exceed the time required to collect milk, this can lead to hyperlactation (production of excess milk).

Very strong traction. If your breast pump has a selectable thrust function, you should use the smallest one so as not to hurt your breasts.

Care of the breast pump. A breast pump, like any machine, needs proper care. It must not be clogged so as not to contaminate the milk.

Each model has a care instruction that you should definitely read before using the device.

When washing, always disassemble the pump completely, removing even the smallest parts. This will prevent stagnation of milk residues in them.

Before each use, sterilize all parts of the machine that come into contact with milk. This can be done with a sterilizer.

Milk defrosting

Never thaw or heat breast milk in a microwave oven. When heated in the microwave, the milk warms up unevenly, while feeding the baby can burn. Also, due to the rapid heating of frozen milk when using a microwave, most of the useful properties of this invaluable product are lost.

To defrost breast milk, place it on the refrigerator shelf, and when it becomes liquid, heat it up. To do this, lower the milk bottle into hot water or put it under hot water. Also, special heaters can be used to warm milk.

If you have questions or don’t know how to express, it’s worth talking to a specialist. The doctor will not only tell, but also show how to do it correctly, give recommendations on the pumping schedule and advise which method is better to choose.

Remember that milk is undoubtedly a valuable food for the baby, but feeding with expressed milk should be used in exceptional cases.

At the School of Moms, our doctors talk in detail not only about how and when to express milk correctly, but also about how to properly attach a baby to the breast, how to avoid common problems with breastfeeding, such as lactostasis, as well as the rules for self-examination mammary glands.

Questions for the pediatrician – articles from the specialists of the clinic “Mother and Child”

If after each feeding the breast is additionally pumped, then the body of a nursing woman receives incorrect information about how much milk needs to be produced, and produces more and more of it. As a result, pumping “leftovers” can turn into a continuous process

Doctors recommend feeding the newborn on demand, in this mode, he eats the amount of milk he needs. By the next feeding, the required amount comes again, and no pumping is necessary

A breast pump can be an indispensable tool in some situations. For example, the child categorically refuses to breastfeed, the mother needs to be away for a long time, the baby is not yet able to breastfeed (premature)

WHAT HAPPENED BEFORE

Previously, a nursing mother was advised to express her breast after each feeding, otherwise there will be excess milk, lactostasis and mastitis, and besides, it was believed that pumping contributes to the production of milk and the baby certainly will not remain hungry. Yes, pumping increased the amount of milk, but this did not take into account the fact that the mother’s breast adapts to the needs of the baby – and produces milk exactly as much as the baby sucks. It is now known that if after each feeding the breast is additionally expressed, then the body of a nursing woman receives incorrect information about how much milk needs to be produced, and produces more and more of it. As a result, pumping “leftovers” can turn into a continuous process: with each pumping, milk comes in, the baby cannot completely suck it out, the mother has to express the leftovers, and by the next feeding the milk again comes in excess. What’s wrong here? Excess milk is a direct road to its stagnation (lactostasis), and a woman is forced to constantly express her breasts. It turns out a kind of vicious circle.

WHAT THEY ARE SAYING NOW

Today, doctors recommend feeding a newborn on demand, in this mode, he eats the amount of milk he needs. By the next feeding, the required amount comes again, and no pumping is necessary. Yes, there will be periods of growth of the child when he needs more milk than before, but the baby will regulate this process on his own. At some point, the baby will begin to suck harder and ask for the breast more often than before. At first, it will seem to the mother that there is not enough milk, but in a couple of days everything will stabilize, the milk will begin to come in the right (larger) amount and no pumping, let alone supplementary feeding, will be required.

WHEN TO PUSH

So pumping is not necessary at all? Most often yes, but still there are some situations when you simply cannot do without it. When pumping is needed:

1. If the baby is premature or weak, he cannot breastfeed on his own yet and must be bottle fed.

2. If the mother has a very strong flow of milk, incipient mastitis or the first signs of lactostasis. In general, with a strong rush of milk and lactostasis, it is recommended to apply the baby to the breast more often, but if this does not help, then the breast will have to be expressed.

3. If there is not enough milk, but only if it really is, and not “I think so” or “my mother-in-law said that I have little milk and I need to pump”.

4. If it is necessary to part with the baby for a while, but at the same time you want to keep lactation.

5. If a breastfeeding mother falls ill and is prescribed medications that are incompatible with breastfeeding.

HOW IT WORKS

If you still need to express your breasts, you can do it by hand or with a breast pump. The advantage of manual pumping is that there are no material costs, but, perhaps, this is all its advantages. There are many more disadvantages: not all mothers know how to express their breasts correctly (even after looking at the instructions). And most importantly, manual pumping is not as effective as mechanical pumping, and in general is often unpleasant and even painful. But expressing breasts with a breast pump is much more convenient: it quickly helps to express a significant amount of milk, saves time and effort and does not cause pain. And there is only one minus – it costs money.

HOW TO CHOOSE A BREAST PUMP

· Do not rely on the opinions of friends and reviews on the Internet: like someone else’s breasts, it is impossible to try on someone else’s pumping experience.

· Examine the breast pump model carefully. For a device already purchased or donated, the size of the funnel, the intensity of pumping, the shape of the handle, the number of parts, the noise level may not be suitable.

· The more often you plan to pump, the more advanced and versatile you need.

· Strictly follow the instructions supplied with the appliance. Remember to sterilize your breast pump before each use and keep it clean.

· Don’t get carried away: if you use it too intensively, there is a risk of hyperlactation – more and more milk will be produced, and as a result, pumping will be endless.
