Holidays in quarters. Holidays by quarters How many days off in January

The New Year will begin for Russians working a 5-day working week, from December 30 to January 8 (Russian Government Decree No. 1250 of October 14, 2017 ""). Such a long rest period was formed due to the fact that December 30-31 falls on Saturday and Sunday. In this regard, the last working day of the current year, December 29, will not be shortened, since it will not immediately precede a holiday ().

The first working week after the holidays, from January 9 to 12, 2018, will have four working days. It is worth noting that due to holidays and weekends in January there will be only 17 working days, and therefore it is unprofitable to take vacation this month - the amount paid by the employer will be less than with the usual work schedule on the same days.

How is additional payment calculated for work on weekends and holidays when accounting for working hours? The answer is in "Encyclopedia of solutions. Labor relations, personnel" Internet version of the GARANT system. Get 3 days free!

As an example, consider a situation in which an employee received a fixed salary of 40 thousand rubles throughout the year. per month, was not sick and decided to “extend” the New Year holidays - take a 4-day vacation from January 9 to 12, so that in total the continuous duration of rest would be 16 days. As a result, the employee’s number of working days in January will be 13 days, for which he will receive 30,589 rubles, and the amount of vacation pay will be 5,460 rubles. Thus, in this case, the employee will receive 36,049 rubles for January. and will lose 3951 rubles.

In 2017, residents of the country will finally have time to prepare for the main winter holiday. The last day of the passing year, December 31st is not officially considered a holiday, however, in 2016 it fell on a Saturday - so people working on a five-day schedule will rest “legally” on this day. However, for organizations working on a six-day basis, the last day of the year will remain a working day - in accordance with the law, the duration of work must be reduced by one hour, and that’s all.

Days from Sunday January 1st to Sunday January 8th inclusive are non-working for everyone. On these dates, you can safely plan to celebrate the coming of the Year of the Fire Rooster, travel or vacation with children - these days are officially considered holidays in the country.

Thus, the New Year holidays 2017 will be as follows:

• December 31, Saturday– a regular day off for those working on a five-day schedule, a shortened working day for organizations with a six-day schedule;
• from January 1 (Sunday) to January 6 (Friday)– official days of the New Year holidays;
• January 7 (Saturday)– holiday, Christmas;
• January 8 (Sunday)– the last day of the national holiday.

The first working day of 2017 will be January 9, Monday. Thus, both before and after the New Year holidays, residents of the country will have to work a full week – from Monday to Friday, without relaxed “shortened” working periods.

The same day, January 9, will be the beginning of a new school term. Students of most Russian schools will start resting a week earlier than adults (from December 25), and their legal winter holidays will end at the same time as their parents'. Schoolchildren studying according to the modular system “5(6)+1”, in accordance with their academic schedule, have one week off during the New Year holidays, and in 2017 it completely coincides with the winter holidays for adults.

What determines the duration of winter holidays in Russia?

"Guaranteed" The duration of winter holidays in Russia according to the law is from January 1 to January 8. Moreover, January 7 is a day off in honor of the Nativity of Christ, and all days from 1 to 6 and January 8 are non-working days dedicated to the main winter holiday - the New Year.

At the same time, the period of continuous winter rest may increase if weekends are adjacent to holidays (this, for example, happened in 2016, when Saturday and Sunday fell on January 9 and 10, so the holidays lasted 10 days). In addition, in accordance with Russian laws, if a regular day off coincides with a holiday, then this coincidence is compensated by an additional day of rest. Since the period from January 1 to January 8 is guaranteed to be a weekend, additional days of rest are either “added” to the New Year holidays or transferred to other days of the coming year. The project for transferring days off is prepared annually by the Ministry of Labor and Employment and approved by the government of the country.

Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation on the transfer of days off in 2017

In 2017, in accordance with government decree, Russians will be “compensated” for two holidays that fall on weekends. This is the New Year itself (Sunday January 1st) and Christmas Day (Saturday January 7th). In this case, additional days off will be transferred to other months:

• for January 1, Russia will have a holiday on February 24 (Friday), thanks to which a four-day mini-vacation will fall on the celebration of Defender of the Fatherland Day;
• Christmas Saturday will be compensated by the day off on May 8(Monday), and the Victory Day celebrations will also last four days.

Having two four-day weekends in one year is a rarity for the Russian holiday calendar - and the opportunity to have additional rest in February and May should be a good compensation for the relatively short (compared to 2015 and 2016) New Year holidays.

New Year holidays in 2017 - how we relax during these days? How long will the New Year holidays be? Are there any solutions in connection with them regarding the transfer of public days off and where? How long will the resulting vacation be for each of the other holidays in the current year? Let's consider these points.

General rules governing the number of days of rest on holidays

The main document on the issue of establishing holidays is the Labor Code of the Russian Federation. In Art. 112 of this document not only directly lists the days defined as non-working holidays for the Russian Federation, but also provides the rules:

• transferring public days off that fall on the same date as holidays;
• salary calculations for the month that includes holidays.

The rules for transferring public days off that fall on the same date as holidays are divided into 2 groups depending on which specific holidays they relate to:

• forming a rest period from January 1 to January 8 (New Year holidays and Christmas) lasting more than a week, which inevitably includes 2 general days off;
• all other celebrations of the year (February 23; March 8; May 1 and 9; June 12; November 4), each of which can fall on both a working day and a weekend.

In the first case, the transfer of 2 general days off occurs either in accordance with a specially published law of the Russian Federation, or by a decision adopted by the Government of the Russian Federation. But the transfer is always made for reasons of rationality in providing such days in a particular year. The regulatory act of the Government of the Russian Federation approving this decision is published no later than a month before the start of the corresponding year. At the same time, decisions on postponements made by the Government of the Russian Federation this year are also possible, but their publication must be carried out no later than 2 months before the day to which the day off is transferred.

In the second case, the transfer procedure follows a clearly established procedure: if a holiday and a general day off coincide, the day off moves to the next working day following the holiday.

Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation on postponing holidays to the New Year

What decision was made in part days off, due for New Year holidays 2017 of the year? It is reflected in the Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation dated August 4, 2016 No. 756. This document prescribes that for the current year the following days should be considered as general days off:

• Friday 02/24/2017, which allows, taking into account the holiday 02/23/2017 and 2 general days off following 02/24/2017, to create a single 4-day rest period;
• Monday 05/08/2017, which, taking into account the holiday 05/09/2017 and 2 general days off preceding 05/08/2017, also leads to the creation of a single 4-day rest period.

Length of vacation in connection with each of the 2017 holidays

Taking into account the decision made by the Government of the Russian Federation, rest periods accompanying holidays this year will be distributed according to their length in the following manner:

• for New Year holidays and Christmas - 8 days: from January 1 to January 8 (from Sunday to Sunday);
• for Defender of the Fatherland Day - 4 days: from February 23 to 26 (Thursday to Sunday);
• for International Women's Day - 1 day: March 8 (Wednesday);
• for Spring and Labor Day - 3 days: from April 29 to May 1 (from Saturday to Monday);
• for Victory Day - 4 days: from May 6 to May 9 (from Saturday to Tuesday);
• for Russia Day - 3 days: from June 10 to 12 (from Saturday to Monday);
• for National Unity Day - 3 days: from November 4 to 6 (Saturday to Monday).

Results

The presence of a special transfer procedure for weekends falling on the holiday period of January 1-8 determines the special significance of the document that sets specific dates for the postponed weekends. This document is developed annually with a focus on the feasibility of the transfer. Expediency, as a rule, involves lengthening the period of rest time associated with a specific holiday by including in this period regular general days off, a holiday day and a rescheduled day off.

Over 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.
