How the country rests in. Weekend. Spring holidays and weekends

28.06.2024

Hi all. Today we will talk about pleasant things, about the holidays and weekends that await us in the coming 2017.

In our country, nothing is perhaps looked forward to more eagerly than weekends and holidays. And probably no one else in the world has as many holidays as we have. Of course, you can come up with a lot of different “rest” days. However, there are a number of so-called official holidays approved at the state level.

They are days off, and that's what we'll talk about.

How we relax in 2017. Schedule of weekends and holidays

The official list of holidays and weekends is prepared annually by the Ministry of Labor. It is on this approved list that the plans of the entire working population of our country are based. In general, non-working holidays are listed in Article 112 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation: from January 1 to 8, February 23, March 8, May 1 and 9, November 4. How are holidays calculated if they fall not during the week, but on the weekend (Saturday or Sunday)? There is a rule by which it is determined that if a holiday falls on a weekend, then the working days following it become weekends, and in the same number of holidays that fall on regular weekends.

Winter holidays and weekends

Since every year traditionally begins with the New Year holidays, everything is clear here. The first nine days of the new year from December 31, 2016 to January 8, 2017 are reserved for the New Year holidays. However, each year these dates fall on different days.

Therefore, the holiday schedule may shift. In 2017, January 1 falls on a Sunday, so the day off was moved to Friday, February 24, and Saturday, January 7, was moved to Monday, May 8. But the traditional 9 days remain, and big holidays await us during which some will be able to spend quality time with their family, friends and loved ones. Others, on the contrary, are good at quarreling. But let’s hope that there will still be very few negative emotions in these wonderful days.

In addition to the New Year and Christmas holidays, in winter we will also experience such a significant event as Defender of the Fatherland Day (formerly the day of the Soviet army) on February 23. Since this day falls on Thursday in 2017, we will rest for 4 whole days: from February 23 to 26.

Spring holidays and weekends

The next season of the year, which pleases everyone with the end of winter and the onset of renewal in nature, is spring. What holidays do we have at this time? Here, too, no doubt anyone will say that it is Women’s Day on March 8th. In 2017, it falls on a Wednesday and, since it is during the week, there is only one day off. Nothing is added or transferred. Thus, we only have one holiday weekend in March.

But in May there will be several holiday days off at once. May begins, as usual, with the Labor Day, to which, after the events of the 90s of the last century, the Spring Festival was added, so that it now sounds like the Spring and Labor Festival.

These May Day holidays span 3 days from April 29 to May 1. The next May holidays fall on the most significant day in our history - Victory Day. Here we have four days off: from Saturday, May 6 to Tuesday, May 9. This takes into account the postponement of the day off from January 7th to May 8th.

Summer holidays and weekends

The most wonderful season of the year has arrived - summer. For schoolchildren, it is already a holiday for three whole months. As for the adult population, apart from a large number of vacationers who are not in the mood for holidays at this time, everyone else will celebrate a national holiday - Russia Day. It is also traditionally celebrated on June 12th. Since this day falls on Monday, we have three days off: June 10, 11 and 12. And on the last Sunday of August, Miner's Day is celebrated. At this point, the summer holidays are over and nothing can be expected until autumn.

Autumn holidays and weekends

In the fall, only one event is expected - National Unity Day. The revolutionary component of this holiday, which fell on November 8, disappeared in the 90s of the last century. Now, we celebrate this day not on November 8, but on November 4. But, since it falls on Saturday, the day off is moved to Monday and we will rest for three days from Saturday to Monday.

Thus, in 2017 we will have 118 days of weekends and holidays. And working days account for 247 working days or 1973 hours of working time.

So, official holidays in Russia:

January 1 (Sun) – New Year;
January 7 (Sat) – Christmas;
February 23 (Thu) – Defender of the Fatherland Day;
March 8 (Wed) – International Women's Day;
May 1 (Mon) – Spring and Labor Day;
May 9 (Tue) – Victory Day;
June 12 (Mon) – Russia Day;
November 4 (Sat) – Day of National Unity.

In addition to official holidays, there are several events that are professional holidays. They are not widely celebrated, but they are still talked about. What kind of holidays are these?

The last Sunday in October is Road Transport Workers Day.
The last Sunday of July is Navy Day (Neptune Day).
The last Saturday of June is Inventor and Innovator Day.
The last Sunday of September is Mechanical Engineer's Day.
In addition, one notable professional holiday appeared in September, which is not really a day off, this is Russian Internet Day or Runet Day.

So have a nice holiday everyone, but don’t forget about everyday life.

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.

On November 4, Russia celebrates National Unity Day. In this regard, in November 2017, Russians will have a three-day holiday. There is only one official holiday - November 4th. But in 2017, this day falls on a Saturday, therefore, according to current legislation, the day off is moved to Monday, November 6.

More details:
November 4(Saturday) – day off
November 5(Sunday) – day off
November 6(Monday) – holiday day off (postponed from November 4)

November holidays 2017 – calendar

The holiday itself - National Unity Day - often causes misunderstanding. Someone shrugs their shoulders in bewilderment and confuses this day with Russian Independence Day, someone recognizes only November 7 and considers November 4 a kind of “transfer” of the memorable date, and for some November 4 is the day of the Kazan Icon of the Mother of God. The majority are simply happy to have an extra day off in a series of tired autumn everyday life.
Therefore, it would probably be useful to recall that National Unity Day is a memory of the events of bygone days, namely the liberation of Moscow from Polish invaders by the people’s militia, led by Kuzma Minin and Dmitry Pozharsky. This was in 1612. This date is a turning point in the history of Russia; it marks the end of the Time of Troubles.

The first sculptural composition in Moscow, the first monument dedicated to national heroes is the monument to Minin and Pozharsky in Moscow. It was built not with state money, but with donations collected throughout Russia by the initiators - the Free Society of Lovers of Literature, Science and the Arts. And this was also the first time. The collected donations were enough not only to create the famous sculptural composition, which, by the way, was cast in bronze in St. Petersburg and sent to Moscow by water through Nizhny Novgorod, but also for the obelisk in Nizhny Novgorod, where, in fact, the second militia was born.

Most of us are making plans for the coming 2017 in advance. And although it is still far away, it is useful to know how we relax during the holidays in 2017 now.

First quarter

The main thing that attracts attention in the first quarter calendar is. How are we relaxing for the New Year? Will they be there next year? Let's look at the picture.

So, there are only two official holidays - the first and seventh of January, that is, the New Year itself and Christmas. Despite the fact that the holiday is exclusively Orthodox, in Russia Christmas is celebrated with joy and amazing generosity by representatives of all faiths.

New Year's week between the first and eighth of January is the time of the traditional holidays. These eight days are the favorite time of most Russians. According to the law, if a holiday falls on a Saturday or Sunday, the day off is transferred to the next working day (however, this year they decided to postpone it, not to January 9, but to February 24). So, in the first month of the year we have a wonderful holiday ahead - from the first to the eighth of January inclusive.

February is the main “male” month, because on the 23rd we celebrate Defender of the Fatherland Day. February 24 is also a day off due to the postponement from January 7 by decision of the Ministry of Labor. Congratulations, gifts for beloved men both at home and at work - this is how this time is remembered.

Well, the last month of the quarter is March. How can we do without the Eighth of March, International Women's Day? March is the time of luxurious bouquets of flowers, subtle aromas of perfume and a bright, joyful smile. By the way, the seventh of March is an official shortened working day.

Second quarter

How are we resting in 2017 in the second quarter? The first mid-spring holiday is, of course, Easter. Being an exclusively religious holiday, Bright Sunday of Christ is widely celebrated throughout Russia.

May is rich in holidays. Understanding how we relax in 2017, one cannot help but wonder: will Russians have a spring break? As you can see, the first of May is Spring and Labor Day, an official day off. The next holiday is Victory Day on May 9. The date of the end of the Great Patriotic War in our country is traditionally celebrated both at the official level and at the everyday level - at home, with family and friends. After all, there is practically not a single family that was not affected by that terrible war. May 9 is the day of remembrance of our grandfathers and great-grandfathers who gave their lives for us.

June will also delight holiday lovers - Russia Day is on the 12th. Since this holiday falls on Monday, we will again rest for three days in a row - from June 10 to June 12 inclusive.

Third quarter

But the third quarter of the year was completely without holidays. Therefore, we can only hope for the vacation that many of us have planned for these hot summer months. Sea, sun, beach in various combinations - in the cold winter we live in anticipation of hot days of relaxation.

Of course, many will say - what about the Day of Knowledge? Alas, although the first of September is a holiday, it is not a day off. By the way, in September there will be another remarkable professional (not a day off) holiday - Russian Internet Day, or Runet Day, as it is more often called. Our online community celebrates it on September 30th.

Fourth quarter

Not too rich for the holidays and the fourth quarter of the year. There is only one official holiday – November 4th. Called “National Unity Day,” this holiday has the connotation of some kind of official event rather than a national event. However, nothing prevents us from looking forward to it, because an extra day off is always great. And again we have a long rest ahead of us - due to the postponement of the day off. We are preparing to vacation in November 2017 for three days in a row - 4-5-6. Well, on the eve of National Unity Day we are promised a shorter working day.

And, of course, the fourth quarter brings us the joy of anticipation of the New Year. December 31 is an official day off.

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.
