What are the holidays for the new year. Vacation in quarters. Non-working holidays in Russia

Not having time to partake in the New Year, many Russians rush to look at the calendar to find out how we relax on new year holidays in 2020. Officially, the production schedule is approved only in the fall, but already now it can be assumed how long the winter holidays will be in our country.

January traditions

Since 2012, the Labor Code has introduced the concept of "New Year's Holidays", which are assigned to January 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 8. This initiative was accepted with gratitude by everyone, because now officially, without time off and absenteeism, one could arrange a real mini-vacation. This tradition immediately took root, and even some MPs want to make a proposal to extend the holidays, adding December 31 to them. But there are also those who remained dissatisfied. These are the factions of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation and the Liberal Democratic Party, which, even before the amendments were made to the Labor Code, opposed the long weekend in winter, arguing that such a long break in work undermines the country's economy and has a bad effect on 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 May 10 and 11 to them, or making it an official holiday on May 2.

In 2015, the Liberal Democratic Party also developed a project, which consisted of reducing holidays a year to three dates: January 1, May 9 and June 12. The vacated days were planned to be made an official ten-day leave, which once a year will be given 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 proposal of the Liberal Democratic Party, then employers would surely be outraged, who certainly would not have been satisfied with mass vacations of workers in the middle of winter, and it is at this time of the year that many leave for resorts. And 71% of the population is also against such drastic changes, because a vacation in the middle of the working year is only beneficial.

The official New Year's weekend coincides with the winter holidays for schoolchildren, so the whole family can spend this time together. If in the 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, uninterrupted rest is also useful, because if working days are constantly interrupted by weekends, then it is extremely difficult to tune in to work.

Sociologists say that the 7 days indicated in the TC new year holidays quite enough for a good rest, but beyond that there will already be an overkill, therefore, joining additional calendar days to them usually has a bad effect on mood and well-being.

New Year Holidays 2020

Every year we all look with excitement at the calendar to find out how many days of rest there will be. New Year's holidays in 2020 will last exactly as many days as required by the TC. Christmas will be added to the holidays, which is also taken out on a separate day off. Unfortunately, it will not be possible to rest on the eve of the holiday, because the 1st date 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.

Based on this production calendar, you can calculate the approximate number of working hours.

The deputies are in vain worried that the Russians will not get rest in May. If you look at how we are resting for the New Year holidays 2020, then we can immediately say that these holidays will give additional weekends in the spring. Those marked in TC on January 4 and 5 fall on weekends, so they are automatically transferred to May 4 and 12, respectively.

Winter holidays

According to the Labor Code, we will go to work in 2020 on the 9th. In the post-holiday week, you will have to work 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 is still not officially assigned to these days of the weekend. This is just a tribute to tradition and a reason to prolong your New Year's mood.

After the onset Orthodox Christmas Christmastide begins, the traditions of which were formed in pre-Christian times and were partially adopted by the church. Back in the 6th century, church statutes stipulated that Christmastide is a holiday during which everyone should feel the love and care of others. In Byzantium, for two weeks after Christmas, parishioners of churches carried gifts to prisons, helped the sick and the poor.

Christmastide ends on January 18, and the next day people celebrate Epiphany, according to tradition, plunging into an ice hole. The January holidays do not end there, because the 25th is Tatiana's day, popularly known as the day of Russian students.

New Year's holidays are a kind of annual leave for working citizens. Many people try to plan their vacation in advance, which on average is 2 weeks. Although in last years the duration of the New Year holidays has decreased slightly. Therefore, in a few months, many are beginning to wonder how much we rest on the New Year holidays 2016. New Years time- this is the favorite time of schoolchildren, students, and working citizens. Holidays provide an opportunity to escape from everyday worries and routine work days. A festive table and meeting friends gives a positive boost of energy for the whole next year.

The schedule of New Year's holidays 2016 was approved by the Government of the Russian Federation in accordance with the norms of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation. Compared to 2015, the situation has practically not changed, except that in the coming year we will have one day less rest.

Rest for the New Year 2016 in Russia will be 10 days - from 1 to 10 January. December 31st falls on Thursday. This day, to our great disappointment, was not recognized as a holiday. Many expected softer rest conditions from the Government and hoped that the 31st day would be devoted to preparations for the holiday. Indeed, this is what happens in most organizations. December 31st is essentially a holiday, even at work. But this did not happen and the last day of the year remained officially a worker, reduced by 1 hour.

How do we rest on New Year's holidays in 2016? Exactly 10 days. They include two public holidays- this is New Year and Christmas. 2, 3, 4, 5 numbers are additional holidays... January 2 3 fall on Saturday and Sunday, so they were postponed to January 6 and 8, making these days also days off. Thus, on New Year's holidays 2016 non-working days will be a little less than two weeks.

How we rest on New Year's holidays 2016 can be presented in the form of a table as follows:

The official weekend for New Year's holidays 2016 will be 8 days, 2 more days are regular weekends, Saturday and Sunday. On January 11, all working citizens will return to their usual work. It should be noted that 2016 is a leap year. The total number of non-working days this year will be much less compared to 2015. Instead of 20 non-working days last year, only 17. We are currently pursuing a policy of reducing holidays. Perhaps a ban will be imposed on the transfer of holidays, as it was in the past, for example, from January to May.

The coming year by Eastern calendar will be the year of the Monkey, a creature who does not really like to work. But the higher authorities seem to be not going to take this fact into account, continuing to reduce the number of days off. But, as far as the New Year is concerned, 10 days is a sufficient number of holidays. Such a vacation will not only allow you to spend time in home environment with family and friends, but also to travel abroad. This is a great time to go skiing or ice skating. Thus, winter holidays can be spent not only fun, but also with benefits for the body.

New Year's holidays in 2016 will begin on January 1 (the first day of the year this time falls on Friday) and will continue until Sunday January 10. The next day, January 11, the first official working week of the new year will begin in Russia - and schoolchildren will begin their studies (the end of school holidays in schools operating according to the traditional "quarter" system this year coincides with the end of recreation for adults).

The January holidays in Russia are made up of holidays timed to coincide with the celebration of the New Year and Christmas and the usual weekends, which are "added" to the holidays. In accordance with Russian law holidays are dates from 1 to 8 January... But January 9 and 10 is a regular weekend, Saturday and Sunday. Therefore, for those who work a six-day week, New Year's holidays may end earlier: the administration has the right to demand that they go back to work on Saturday, January 9, or, in order not to "break" the working week, postpone the beginning of the working year to Sunday.

Rescheduling the weekend to New Year's holidays in 2016

The duration of the January holidays in our country varies slightly every year - so, in 2015 they lasted 11 days, in 2014 - only eight. How many on New Year's holidays depends on the schedule for transferring weekends: according to the law, if a holiday falls on a weekend, then the day of rest is transferred. Sometimes these "extra" days are added to the winter rest, sometimes they are transferred to other months.

This year there are two days off for the holidays: Saturday 2 January and Sunday 3 January. The residents of the country will "take a walk" in the spring: one of the additional days off will be postponed to March 7, the second - to May 3. Thus, both International Women's Day and Spring and Labor Day will be marked by a four-day mini-vacation.

If we consider how we are on New Year's holidays by day, then the schedule will look like this:

• 
  January 1, Friday- holiday, New Year;


• 
  January 2, Saturday- holiday, day off from this day is postponed to May 3;


• 
  January 3, Sunday- holiday, day off from this day is postponed to March 7;


• 
  January 4, Monday


• 
  January 5, Tuesday- holiday non-working day;


• 
  January 6, Wednesday- holiday non-working day;


• 
  January 7, Thursday- holiday, Christmas;


• 
  January 8, Friday- holiday non-working day;


• 
  January 9, Saturday- day off (excluding those working on a six-day week);


• 
  January 10, Sunday- day off.

Is December 31 a day off or a workday?

Despite the fact that at least 8 days are allotted for the celebration of the New Year in Russia, additional days off are not relied on to prepare for this solemn event. The question of making December 31 a day off was already submitted to the State Duma for consideration - but this initiative was rejected.

Therefore, December 31, Thursday, will officially be a working day in 2015. It is considered pre-holiday, so the working day on New Year's Eve should be reduced by an hour.

The vacation schedule for schools, universities and institutions of secondary vocational education in Moscow is approved individually for each educational institution by its director, rector or other person responsible for making decisions. In practice, the vacation schedule rarely differs from the recommendations of the higher governing body.

Russian schools live according to two educational "calendars": quarters and trimesters. Depending on this, as well as focusing on the recommendations of the Ministry of Education educational establishments they themselves determine the dates of the holidays. In general, it is beneficial for the school to adhere to the generally established framework, since general vacations mean more opportunities for organizing high-quality children's leisure: performances, excursions, concerts, etc.

Vacation in schools with a system of teaching in quarters

Those who study in quarters have four vacations a year - autumn, winter, spring and summer.

Autumn holidays 2019-2020 academic year

Of these, the dates of the autumn holidays in late October and early November are less stable: the date of their end depends on the Day national unity, which is celebrated on November 4th.

New Year's holidays, as a rule, begin in the last week of December and end on the 10th of January. Schoolchildren go to school on Monday. Winter vacation in 2019/2020 academic year will last from December 31 to January 12. First graders will have additional holidays in winter * - from 17 to 24 February.

Spring break 2019-2020 academic year
