One has only to look at the 2020 calendar and you can immediately say on which days the weekends and holidays specified in the Labor Code of the Russian Federation will fall. Many people know that in May in Russia we relax on a grand scale, and many people expect spring holidays no less than the New Year holidays.
Production calendar
Government annually approves production calendarregulating the ratio of working days and days off. It also immediately stipulates public holidays, as well as days of transfers. Before the approval of the official calendar, you can focus on the draft of this document and predict how long the weekend and May holidays in 2020 will be.
According to the Labor Code of the Russian Federation, holidays in May are the 1st and 9th, in 2020 it will be Friday and Saturday, respectively. Pre-holiday working days, which are April 30 and May 8, should be shortened (minus 1 hour).
The Labor Code has a clause stating that if a holiday falls on a day off, then it is postponed to the next working day following it. In 2020, this rule will work during the celebration of May 9: the holiday falls on Saturday, so we will get a day off on Monday the 11th.
According to this rule, holidays in May may increase due to transfers of weekends from January (4th and 5th, which are considered non-working according to the Labor Code). A government-approved resolution states that in 2020:
- January 4 (Saturday) will be postponed to May 4;
- January 5 (Sunday) - on May 5.
A total of 5 days on May Day and 3 days for the celebration of Victory Day.
Unfortunately, in this case, there is no need to wait for a continuous holiday for the New Year holidays in 2020, but the predicted days off will be enough to distract from the everyday work.
| Calendar days | 31 |
|---|---|
| Working days | 17 |
| Days off | 9 |
| Holidays and Holidays | 5 |
| Shortened days | 1 |
Based on this, calculate the number of working hours:
| A week | Working hours |
|---|---|
| 40 hour | 135 |
| 36 hour | 121.4 |
| 24 hour | 80.6 |
Pupils and students
Holidays in May are very popular among students of all ranks, because this is the last academic month when you already want to relax so much. Although the production calendar is not happy with possible holidays, it will still be possible to relax. With both a five-day and a six-day school week, Saturdays will be completely dropped (2nd and 9th), and you won’t have to work out anything. Plus will come on May 4, 11 and 12. As a result, schoolchildren and students will receive three shortened weeks in a row, taking into account part-time on one of them (May 8).
