Not having time to celebrate New Year's Eve, many Russians rush to look at the calendar to find out how we relax on New Year's holidays in 2020. The production schedule is officially approved only in the fall, but now it can be assumed how long the winter holidays in our country will be.
January traditions
Since 2012, the concept of “New Year holidays” was introduced in the Labor Code, which is fixed on January 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 8. Everyone accepted this initiative with gratitude, because now officially without a day off and absenteeism it was possible to arrange a real mini-vacation. This tradition immediately took root, and even some deputies want to make a proposal to extend the holidays, adding to them on December 31. But there are those who remained dissatisfied. These are fractions of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation and the Liberal Democratic Party, which even before the amendments to the Labor Code were opposed to a long weekend in the winter, arguing that such a long break in work undermines the country's economy and adversely affects the health of citizens. Instead of resting on January 3, 4 and 5, they wanted to expand the May holidays in honor of the Great Victory, adding non-working days on May 10 and 11 to them, or to make it an official holiday on May 2.
In 2015, the LDPR was also developing a project that consisted of reducing holidays in the year to three dates: January 1, May 9 and June 12. They planned to make the vacated days an official ten-day vacation, which once a year will be granted to all officially employed citizens without exception. According to the project, it could be issued at any time of the year. These proposals did not find support from the United Russia faction; therefore, they remained at the project level. If they accepted the Liberal Democratic Party’s proposal, then employers would certainly have been indignant, who certainly would not have been satisfied with the mass vacations of workers in the middle of winter, namely at this time of the year many people go to resorts. And 71% of the population are also against such drastic changes, because vacation in the middle of the working year is only good.
The official New Year's weekend coincides with the winter holidays with schoolchildren, so the whole family can spend this time together. If in summer the problem of children's recreation is solved by organizing health camps, then in January the children are simply left to their own devices. And for adults, continuous rest is also useful, because if working days are constantly interrupted by weekends, it is extremely difficult to tune in to work.
Sociologists claim that the 7 days of the New Year holidays indicated in the shopping center are enough for a good rest, but there will already be overkill, so joining them with additional calendar days usually has a bad effect on mood and well-being.
New Year holidays 2020
Every year we all look excitedly at the calendar to find out how many days of rest will be. New Year's holidays in 2020 will last exactly as many days as it should be on the TC. Christmas will also be added to the holidays, which is also a separate holiday. Unfortunately, it will not be possible to relax on the eve of the holiday, because the 1st day falls on Wednesday, so two days of transfer due to working off during the year will not work. The only bonus provided by Art. 95 TC, - reduction of the working day by 1 hour on the 31st.
| Calendar days | 31 |
|---|---|
| Working days | 17 |
| Days off | 6 |
| Holidays and Holidays | 8 |
| Shortened days | 1 |
Based on this production calendar, you can calculate the approximate number of working hours.
| A week | Working hours |
|---|---|
| 40 hour | 136 |
| 36 hour | 122.4 |
| 24 hour | 81.6 |
Deputies in vain worry that the Russians will not get a rest in May. If you look at how we relax on the New Year holidays 2020, we can immediately say that these holidays will give an additional weekend in the spring. January 4 and 5 marked in the shopping center fall on the weekend, so they are automatically transferred to May 4 and 12, respectively.
Winter holidays
According to the Labor Code, we will be leaving on the 9th in 2020. After the holiday week, it will be necessary to work out only two days, after which the weekend will come again. Old New Year, January 13-14, falls on Monday-Tuesday. Although people celebrate it, it’s still not officially fixed for these weekend numbers. This is just a tribute to tradition and an occasion to extend your New Year mood.
After the onset of Orthodox Christmas, Christmas time begins, the traditions of which developed back in pre-Christian times and were partially accepted by the church. As far back as the 6th century, church charters prescribed that Christmas time is a holiday during which everyone should feel the love and care of others. In Byzantium, within two weeks after Christmas, parishioners of the churches carried gifts to prisons and helped the sick and poor.
Christmas time ends on January 18, and the next day people celebrate Baptism, according to tradition, plunging into an ice hole. The January holidays do not end there, because the 25th is Tatyana’s day, popularly known as the day of Russian students.
