Holidays in quarters. Holidays in quarters How we work for the New Year

A pre-planned vacation can give a lot of positive emotions and impressions and become memorable. Therefore, how will we rest on New Year holidays in 2017 year and how long they will last, it is important to know now. We will answer this question with an emphasis on the legislation of the Russian Federation.

What the Labor Code says

Based on Art. 112 non-working days and holidays next year include the period from January 1 to January 8. It includes:

New Year holidays;
Nativity.

How do you handle the weekend?

When a holiday falls on a weekend, rest moves to the next working day. Such requirements are established by Art. 112 Labor Code of the Russian Federation. Meanwhile, they do not apply to holidays on New Year's days. In order to rationally use the time provided for rest, the legislation allows for the transfer of only two days from the January holidays that fall on weekends.

Based on the decision of the Government of the Russian Federation, the transfer of holidays falling on weekends occurs as follows:

How we walk in January

In 2017, the New Year holidays start, as usual, on the first day of January. Since December 31 falls on a Saturday, the five-day rest period for workers will begin on this date and last until January 8, 2017 inclusive.

EXAMPLE
The Victoria design-decor workshop has a five-day work schedule, in which employees are entitled to two days off - Saturday and Sunday. According to the law, to official New Year holidays in 2017 The year includes the period from January 1 to January 8. Three non-working days (1st, 7th and 8th) fall on weekends. But the decision to postpone was made only for January 1 and 7. This means that employees must return to work on January 9.

The final decision has not yet been made; the initiative is being considered in the State Duma. We will definitely keep you updated on the progress of this amendment to the Labor Code and all similar changes.

The New Year holidays are getting closer, which means that many are already planning how they will relax in January 2020. Let's look at which days will be weekends and holidays in December 2019 and January 2020.

The New Year holidays in 2020 will last from January 1 to January 8. Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev has already signed a government decree on postponing days off, and the document has been published on the Cabinet website. Well, let's read it!

Weekends in December 2019

In the outgoing 2019, before the New Year, we will rest on Saturday and Sunday, December 21 and 22, which, of course, will not be very happy for those who celebrate Catholic Christmas on December 25.

And the last weekend of 2019 will be Saturday and Sunday, December 28 and 29. Then we have two working days on December 30 and 31. And then the most natural New Year holidays - 2020 - will begin with their trips to the Christmas tree with children and joyful communication with Father Frost and the Snow Maiden. And someone will probably go to ski resorts these days or, conversely, to warm countries...

New Year holidays 2020: how many days do we rest in January?

According to the official calendar of weekends and holidays approved by the Government, the New Year holidays in 2020 will last from January 1 to January 8. Accordingly, we celebrate the New Year from Tuesday to Wednesday, and the first working day of 2020 will only be Thursday, January 9.

In this case, the weekends, Saturday and Sunday, January 4 and 5, will be moved to Monday – Tuesday, May 4 and 5, respectively.

The first working week of 2020 will be so short that no one will have time to get tired. It will last only two days: Thursday the 9th and Friday the 10th of January. One can even assume that many Russians will need it only in order to continue celebrating at work with the team.

Well, after two days of corporate events, we will go away again for the weekend - Saturday and Sunday on January 11 and 12.

As a result, it turns out that you can celebrate the New Year this winter with a short break for 10 days - from January 1 to January 8, and then January 11 and 12!

Some will say that you don’t need to rest for so long, but remember the children! Schoolchildren are on winter break at this time, which means adults have a great opportunity to spend the first days of 2019 with their children.

What days will be holidays in 2020

We must indicate the same way we will rest on other holidays in 2020.

On Defender of the Fatherland Day in 2020, we rest for three days - Saturday the 22nd, Sunday the 23rd and Monday the 24th of February. In this case, the day off from Sunday, February 23rd, will be moved to Monday, February 24th.

In March, on International Women's Day, we will also have a three-day holiday - from Saturday 7th to Monday 9th March. In this case, the day off from Sunday, March 8, is moved to Monday, March 9.

There are already five days off for the May holidays 2020 - from Friday, May 1 to Tuesday, May 5. (As mentioned above, the weekends moved to May 4 and 5 for Saturday and Sunday, January 4 and 5).

But National Unity Day (November 4) this coming year falls on Wednesday and breaks the work week into two parts. Well, it’s also nice to rest for one day!

By the way

What holiday dates are fixed in the Labor Code of the Russian Federation (Article 112):

We wish everyone to spend the weekend joyfully and profitably. May your holidays and working days be happy!

Both adults and children always look forward to the New Year holidays. This is due to the fact that it is during this winter period that a special atmosphere reigns. Only convinced skeptics deny that there is still a certain spirit of New Year and Christmas. However, adults also have their own reasons to wait for the main winter holiday - after all, the Russian state will provide them with the opportunity to once again feel like children studying at school and enjoy a long break from work. Considering that the New Year holiday schedule changes from year to year, it will be useful to find out how we relax during the New Year holidays in 2017.

Official holidays for the New Year: dates

In the Russian Federation, New Year and Christmas have long been legally considered official holidays, which are marked in red on the calendar; on these days you do not officially have to go to work. It's no secret that the New Year is invariably celebrated on the night from December 31 to January 1, and Christmas (for Orthodox Christians) on January 7.

On the very last day of the year, December 31, careful preparations for the holiday are underway in all homes. Housewives buy food, start cooking, tidying up, decorating their homes and Christmas trees. It is difficult to have time to do all this before that cherished moment when the clock strikes midnight and the New Year looks into every home. December 31, despite the fact that it is a pre-holiday day during which a lot of things need to be done, unfortunately, is not an official day off. According to the Labor Code of the Russian Federation, pre-holiday days, if they fall on a working day, are reduced by one working hour. Unfortunately, sometimes this is not enough to get everything done, so many people prefer to prepare for the holiday in advance, as soon as they find a free minute.

In 2016, by chance, December 31st falls on a Saturday, when many people have a day off. But this does not exempt from work those whose work schedule is designed for 6 days, or those who have a shift work schedule. The government decree on how to relax during the New Year holidays in 2017 is usually approved and signed 100 days before the New Year. Therefore, you can already find information about how we relax during the New Year holidays in 2017.

As statistics show, a series of New Year's “vacations” for all Russians always lasts up to 10 days. Many people worry that if official holidays on which they do not have to go to work fall on an already day off (Saturday or Sunday), then their vacation will be shortened. But for this reason, a resolution was passed on how we relax during the New Year holidays 2017, which provides for such cases and makes various transfers so that citizens do not feel deprived and can fully enjoy the wonderful time of the New Year holidays. Also, in many cases, transfers are convenient because they can be adjusted to other major holidays, for example the May holidays, or February 23 and March 8.
In 2017, all transfers from the New Year holidays mostly take place on the May holidays.

So, let's see how we will relax during the New Year holidays in 2017 and analyze all the upcoming transfers.

31.12.2016 – a day off for working citizens on a five-day schedule. For those who work six days a week or whose shift falls on a weekend, the working day is reduced by one hour (exceptions include private enterprises, where working conditions on weekends and holidays are specified in the employment contract).

01.01.2017 - holiday, New Year. Since the holiday falls on a Sunday, this day is moved to 02/24/2017, which means that the holiday on February 23 will be one day longer.

02.01.2017-05.01.2017 – the period from Monday to Thursday inclusive is a series of holidays, adding another 4 days to the weekend, when you can forget about work and spend time with your family, friends, or even go on a short trip.

06.01.2017 - this is a pre-holiday day, Christmas Eve before Christmas, a day off.

Jan. 7- the great holiday of Christmas, officially a non-working day, a day off. Since in 2017 Christmas also falls on a Saturday, a day off, it is moved to May 8, thereby giving citizens another day off dedicated to the holiday of the Great Victory in World War II - May 9.

08.01.2017 – falls on Sunday, a day off.

If we summarize all of the above, it turns out that citizens of the Russian Federation will begin their long New Year holidays on December 31, 2016. You will need to return to work and school desks on January 9, 2017. If we include in this series of holidays December 31, which will simply be a day off by chance, then it turns out that Russians are given as many as 9 days for rest. By the way, in 2016, Russians had one day more rest and their New Year holidays lasted for a decade.

Already official, the holidays will last from 12/31/2016 to 01/10/2017.

Attention! This New Year holiday schedule applies to most working citizens, however, those who work in the trade sector will need to go to work as early as 01/02/201. The list of exceptions also includes those workers who have a shift schedule.

Discussions about canceling the New Year holidays for Russians

A bill was submitted to the State Duma for consideration so that Russians could relax at any time of the year, instead of the approved New Year's weekend. The bill implies maintaining only January 1 as a legal holiday, and providing paid leave to workers for all subsequent 10 days. Citizens can use this paid leave of 10 days at any time of the year, regardless of the New Year holidays, and it is also added to the main leave. That is, Russian citizens will have the opportunity to take vacation twice. Also, such a mini-vacation can be taken as a supplement to the main vacation, thereby increasing its duration.

This decision is being considered due to the fact that it will have a positive impact on the country's economy. According to the authors of the bill, according to statistics, during the New Year holidays, when most enterprises are empty, the Russian economy suffers losses equal to 3 trillion Russian national currency.

The closer the New Year holidays are, the more often we think about how to spend them. It’s good when the winter holidays last a long time - you can even plan a trip to another country. 2017 is ideal in this regard, because we will have to rest for 9 whole days.

The symbol of 2017 is a restless bird

According to the Eastern calendar, the approaching 2017 is called the “Year of the Rooster.” The very active bird does not like to sleep for long periods of time and constantly fiddles with its feathered friends. It is recommended to celebrate the holiday under this symbol in a very cheerful company and preferably outside the home - you can go to the country or go on a trip. A large number of holidays even allow you to combine these two types of vacation: a couple of days outside the city, five days in Prague or Bali, the remaining two at home to prepare for everyday work.

How we relax during the New Year holidays in January 2017

New Year holidays in 2017 begin on December 31, which in other years is often a working day. Why? Because it falls on Saturday. So, all New Year's holidays:

December 31, 2016. Saturday is a generally accepted day off.
January 1, 2017. Sunday is also a generally accepted day off, but in addition it is also a generally accepted holiday. Due to the fact that these two weekends coincide, the holiday on January 1st is moved to January 6th.
January 2, 2017. Monday is a holiday.
January 3, 2017. Tuesday is a holiday.
January 4, 2017. Wednesday is a holiday.
January 5, 2017. Thursday is a holiday.
January 6, 2017. Friday is a holiday for January 1st. This day is called “Christmas Eve”, which is celebrated before Orthodox Christmas.
January 7, 2017. Saturday is a generally accepted day off, but in addition it is also a generally accepted holiday, the Nativity of Christ. In theory, due to the coincidence of two weekends, the holiday of January 7 should have been moved to Monday, January 9, but the Ministry of Social Labor decided not to do this in 2017.
January 8, 2017. Sunday is a generally accepted day off.

The result is 9 days of continuous celebration and great mood.

How we relax during the New Year holidays in 2017 - an initiative of State Duma deputies

Some Russian deputies believe that long New Year holidays have a negative impact on people's health (they eat too much food and drink) and that the country's economy suffers from long equipment downtimes. In this regard, the Duma is considering a bill that may approve only one official holiday (January 1). In exchange, people are going to be given an additional 10 days of paid leave. These days can be taken at any convenient time or added to the main vacation. If this law is adopted, it will come into force on January 1, 2017. But while deputies are working on this innovation, Russian citizens are already planning their nine-day New Year holidays.

The New Year will begin for Russians working a 5-day working week, from December 30 to January 8 (Russian Federation Government Decree No. 1250 dated 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.
