Students' days off. Weekend

Every employee strives to choose the right vacation time in advance, since already at the beginning of January most employers ask them to notify them when employees plan to take a well-deserved short rest. Many employees are interested in choosing vacation times so that they overlap with public holidays. At the beginning of August, the Russian government issued a decree in which it very precisely noted how citizens of the country will have a rest in 2017, in accordance with established holidays and weekends.

It is worth noting: For employees with a fixed salary, it is most profitable to take vacation in the months with the maximum number of working days. In 2017, the maximum number of working days in August is 23 days.

How long will the New Year holidays last in 2017?

The longest holidays in Russia are New Year's days, and 2017 will not be an exception. You can safely plan your vacation for the New Year, including foreign trips. The January holidays in 2017 will last for 8 days - from January 1 to January 8. Considering that January 1 falls on a Sunday, when working on a five-day schedule, December 31 will also be a day off.

Since January 1 and 7 are public holidays, but they fall on weekends, the government of the Russian Federation made the following decisions:

• January 1 (Sunday) is moved to February 24 (Friday);
• January 7 (Saturday) is moved to May 8 (Monday).

Weekend for Defender of the Fatherland Day in 2017

The State Duma of the Russian Federation in 2002 officially approved February 23 as a non-working day. The holiday is usually called Defender of the Fatherland Day, and it is popularly considered a men's day.

In 2017, February 23rd falls on Thursday. The government of the country, in order to extend the weekend for employees working on a five-day schedule, decided to move the holiday to February 24 from January 1.

Result: Holidays in February 2017 are the 23rd. According to the production calendar, the weekend will last from February 23 to 26.

Holidays in honor of March 8

International Women's Day is a pleasant holiday that many organizations usually celebrate at work. Employees and employees gather together to celebrate March 8, and this tradition has been around for decades. In 2017, International Women's Day falls on Wednesday. In honor of the holiday, on March 7 you will have to work 1 hour less.

Result: There is only one holiday in March 2017 - the 8th.

May holidays 2017

May is a great month to open the summer season, and in 2017 this can be done as early as the end of April. This is due to the fact that Spring and Labor Day (May 1) falls on Monday. Thus, according to the production calendar, the first “May mini-vacation” will begin on April 29 and last until May 1, and on the 2nd you will have to go to work.

Moreover, in honor of Victory Day in 2017, Russians will be able to rest for 4 days. The holiday itself (May 9) falls on Tuesday. The Russian government has decided to move the holiday from January 7 to May 8. Based on this, it will be possible to rest in honor of Victory Day in May from the 6th to the 9th.

Result: Holidays in May 2017 are: May 1 and May 9. According to the production calendar, the weekend will last from April 29 to May 1 and from May 6 to May 9.

Holidays in June 2017

June 12 has been a traditional holiday for the Russian Federation since 1992. Many people confuse it by calling it Independence Day, but officially it is Russia Day. On this day, it is customary to present state awards in the Kremlin and festive events are held throughout the country. The officially approved holiday is Russia Day in 2017, in which it falls on Monday.

Result: There is only one public holiday in June 2017 – the 12th. The weekend according to the production calendar will last from June 10 to June 12.

November holidays in 2017

In December 2004, the State Duma approved November 4 as a holiday in Russia, despite attempts by the Communist Party to oppose it. Officially, the holiday is called National Unity Day, and in 2017 it falls on a Saturday. Accordingly, November 3 is considered a pre-holiday day, and the production calendar provides for shifts lasting an hour less. Since the official holiday falls on Saturday, with a five-day work week, employees also have a day off on Monday, November 6.

Result: Holiday - November 4th. According to the production calendar, the weekend will last from November 4 to November 6.

In November, Russia celebrates the national holiday Day of National Unity. In this regard, residents of the country receive an additional day off. The production calendar will help you plan your vacation for the holidays. He will tell you how we work and relax in November 2017, and what kind of long weekend awaits Russians. The calendar will inform you about working hours for this month.

How to relax in November 2017

According to the Russian production calendar, in November 2017 there are 9 days off and holidays:

• November 4, Sat. - National Unity Day, an official non-working holiday (Article 112 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation)
• November 5, Sun. - day off
• November 6, Mon. - a day off moved from November 4th.

Work days

In November 2017, Russians work 21 days:

November 3 is a pre-holiday day with reduced working hours by one hour (Article 95 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation).

Working time standards

According to the Russian production calendar, in November 2017 the country had 21 workers (including 1 laid-off worker) and 9 days off and holidays.

Standard working hours:

• with a 40-hour work week – 167 hours (21 x 8 - 1, where 21 is the number of working days, 8 is the duration of the work shift, 1 is the number of shortened working days);
• at 36 hours – 150.2 hours (21 x 7.2 - 1);
• at 24-hour – 99.8 hours (21 x 4.8 - 1).

Public holidays in November 2017

In November, Russia celebrates 1 public holiday - National Unity Day (November 4). It is included in the Days of Military Glory of the Russian Federation. Commemorated with the victory of the people's militia over the Polish occupiers in 1612. In 2017 it is celebrated for the 13th time. This is an official day off (Article 112 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation).

For the past few years, January has been the shortest month in terms of the number of work shifts in the production calendar in Russia. If previously Russians went to work a couple of days after New Year's Eve, now the rest lasts more than a week. Recently, various news has appeared that Duma deputies want to take away the January holidays and return to the previous order. We remind you how we rest for the New Year and Christmas in 2018 - days off for the January holidays according to the officially approved production calendar.

Weekend in January 2018: how we relax for the New Year holidays and Christmas

New Year and Christmas holidays for working Russians in 2017-2018 will last ten days: from December 30, 2017 to January 8, 2018.

The news about the approval of the production calendar for 2018 is surprising and remarkable in its own way - the media reported about this event at least three times during 2017. In the summer, the production calendar was drawn up, approved in early autumn, and officially approved in mid-autumn. In fact, we were told about the same thing three times, so those who regularly read the latest news did not miss the schedule of working days and weekends for 2018.

Those who constantly read the news did not miss the message that deputies of the State Duma, among the priority bills for the fall of 2017, were going to consider a plan to revise the list of holidays and weekends. And the new holiday reform was primarily supposed to affect the New Year holidays, which, according to the authors of the initiative, are unacceptably long.

Nothing more has been heard about the fate of the bill to significantly shorten the New Year holidays for working Russians, and it is unlikely to affect the coming New Year, even if passed. The above New Year's weekend dates for the coming new year are officially approved and will not have to be revised, like all the others.

In 2017-2018, the New Year holidays turned out to be ten days due to the fact that the last two days of 2017, which fortunately fell on Saturday and Sunday, were added to the standard eight days of rest from January 1 to 8: December 30 and 31.

The New Year and Christmas weekend in Russia is enshrined in the Labor Code, which states that in our country January 1-6, as well as January 8, are New Year holidays, and January 7 is Christmas. All these days are official non-working days.

In total, the Labor Code provides for 14 additional days off per year due to holidays. Eight of them occur in January.

It is curious that since two of the eight days of the New Year's weekend in 2018 fall on Saturday and Sunday, then, according to the existing rules, for these days the rule of moving the day off to another date applies. True, if usually the next Monday becomes a day off in such cases, then the January weekend is moved to other months of the year, so that it is convenient for establishing days off in connection with other public holidays. The government ordered two January weekends in such a way that one of them was postponed to March, the second to May.

New Year's holidays, due to their length, have in recent years become an excellent time for families to spend this time together. Since school holidays also fall on the same dates, residents of Russia have a good opportunity to relax with the whole family, either by traveling during the holidays, or simply walking or spending time at home. New Year is a very family holiday and, for all its mass appeal, personal, far from any politics or ideology. We hope that State Duma deputies will not encroach on the established good order and will not cancel the long January holiday, which is so important for many of our compatriots.

The New Year is always a time of hope for a better future soon. And although, of course, these hopes are not always justified, Russians, as in childhood, continue to remain optimistic and believe that with the change of year their lives will change. Happy New Year holidays and Merry Christmas to you!

Nothing motivates Russians to work more than waiting for weekends and holidays. To plan life plans and trips, you need to know how we work and relax in 2017.

Everyone will be pleased with the fact that December 31 will be a day off, which means you can better prepare. The longest period of days free from work will occur on the dates from December 31 to January 9. A ten-day period may be enough for a short trip.

In February, an additional day of rest will be February 23. It won’t be possible to celebrate widely, because the very next day you will have to go to work.

A similar problem will occur on March 8th. It is worth being patient until the days of May. From April 29th you have three days to have a good rest. After the May Day demonstration, the Ministry of Labor does not give time for restoration, and then on the 2nd everyone needs to be in working order.

No luck on May 9 either. Although there will be two more days off before it, after the celebration you always want to spend another day at home. There won’t be such an opportunity this year after almost all the holidays. Russia Day, falling on Monday, will lengthen the traditional weekend. After it, a new shortened working week begins.

Then, until November, the production calendar will give only the traditional two days off a week. In honor of National Unity Day, you can plan a short trip or family activities for 3 days - November 4, 5 and 6. Then time will quickly rush towards the New Year 2018. It will definitely be good to prepare for it, because December 30 and 31 will be days off. The article was prepared based on materials from the websites kp.ru and calend.ru.

The production calendar for 2017, approved by the government of the Russian Federation, includes working time standards in 2017. The 2017 production calendar reflects holidays and weekends. A detailed commentary on the use of the production calendar for 2017 will help without errors in calculating salaries,sick leave or vacation pay, as well ascalculate working hours.

Attention!
Weekends and the number of working days in 2017 were approved by Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation of August 4, 2016 No. 756.

How to create a production calendar for 2017

The production calendar for 2017 is drawn up taking into account the following rules.

According to Article 112 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation, non-working holidays (weekends) in Russia are considered:

• January 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 8 – New Year holidays;
• January 7 – Christmas;
• February 23 – Defender of the Fatherland Day;
• March 8 – International Women's Day;
• May 1 – Spring and Labor Day;
• May 9 – Victory Day;
• June 12 – Russia Day;
• November 4 is National Unity Day.

If a day off coincides with a non-working holiday, the day off is transferred to the next working day after the holiday.

The production calendar for 2017 was also compiled taking into account additional postponements of the New Year holidays. The fact is that Federal laws or the Government of the Russian Federation may establish a special procedure for postponing holidays when they coincide with weekends (for example, for the New Year holidays). This follows from the provisions of parts 2 and 5 of Article 112 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation. In 2017, January 1 and January 7 fell on weekends. The additional weekends resulting from this will be moved as follows: from January 1 to February 24, from January 7 to May 8.

In addition to all-Russian regional legislation, additional non-working holidays (weekends) may be established (Part 1 of Article 6 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation, Resolution of the Presidium of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation dated December 21, 2011 No. 20-ПВ11).

As a rule, the standard working time for certain periods of time is calculated according to a five-day work week with two days off (a day off on Saturday and a day off on Sunday) based on the following duration of daily work (shift):

• with a 40-hour work week, eight hours;
• when the working week is less than 40 hours, the number of hours obtained by dividing the established working week by five days.

On the eve of non-working holidays, working hours are reduced by one hour (Article 95 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation).
