May holidays of 2018, or How to relax in Russia on the eve of summer

The May holidays in 2018 are the last chance for Russians to legally relax on the eve of summer. After that, it remains only to wait for the onset of the vacation period or wait for any other chance, unless, of course, there are prerequisites for this.

It is worth noting that in total there will be many holidays in May, however, as you already understood, there will be no days off in honor of them. Who will work if everyone rests?

Let's give examples. Let's take Diver's Day. It will be May 5th. True, this is the day off. However, the transfer to a weekday is not expected. Or Radio Day. It will be celebrated on May 7th. And no, this is not a film that will celebrate, in a sense, the anniversary in honor of its release.

But the Day of Slavic Literature and Culture, a holiday that will “make” remember Saints Methodius and Cyril, celebrated on May 24, on Thursday, is not, according to officials, a reason to allocate a full day off for its celebration.

2018, or a third of the year of rest

So it turns out that there are 3 days of holidays in May, one of those that lead to legal days off. In the year of such official holidays, there are 17. In total, out of 365 days off as such, all hard workers have at their disposal Russian Federation will be 118.

Laws about rest for the May holidays in 2018 and weekends

The legislative framework for holidays for the May holidays in 2018 and weekends is established by the provisions of Government Decree No. 1250 of 10/14/2017. It is precisely these government decrees, adopted annually, that are the main documents in accordance with which Russians learn how to relax on the first and second May holidays. It should be remembered that some categories of workers will not be able to rest even on these days.

In other cases, the employer must obtain the mandatory consent of the employee to go to work.

Certain questions for some residents of Russia also arise if the vacation falls on the May holidays in 2018 - not everyone knows how legal regulation such cases. In situations where holidays are included in the vacation, for each official non-working holiday, the vacation is extended by one day, and there is no need to notify the employee or employer about this.

More about the main celebrations in May

The reason to celebrate May Day (the new name took root not so long ago) was once not at all festive - the strike of workers in Chicago in 1886. In Soviet times, citizens, in solidarity with the workers of other countries fighting for their rights, went to the square where they walked large demonstrations. The political coloring of the celebration “faded” long ago, but the holiday itself was not lost, did not become an inverted page of history. He is still loved by the people, and is now associated more with spring, warmth, the opening of the outdoor recreation season. Of course, veterans of labor are also honored on this day - those who made a feasible contribution to the prosperity of the state.

The second big holiday - Victory Day, is a reminder of the 73rd anniversary of the victory over Nazi Germany. On May 9, Russians remember those who selflessly defended their homeland so that a peaceful sky shone over the heads of their descendants. Flowers are placed at the monuments of Soviet soldiers, and children are told about the exploits of that time. Solemn parades are held in hero cities, megacities.

A rally is expected on Red Square in Moscow Immortal Regiment", as well as a demonstration military equipment. War veterans and veterans of the Armed Forces will gather on Poklonnaya Hill. The organizers will support the mood of general fun with festive concerts and beautiful fireworks.

Weekend in Russia

In May, Russians celebrate two big holidays at once - Labor Day on May 1 and Victory Day on May 9. Since these days are in the middle of the week this year, the government decided to postpone several working days so that the Russians can fully relax for more than one day.

Russian citizens will have a rest on May Day for four days in a row - from April 29 to May 2. On Victory Day, Russians have only one day off - May 9th. The Government of the Russian Federation adopted such a decision at the end of last year (Decree No. 1250 of October 14, 2017).

How to rest on May 1

Tuesday May 1 - Spring and Labor Day. This is a public holiday in accordance with Article 112 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation.

On Monday, April 30 and Wednesday, May 2, we will rest due to the transfer of weekends and holidays to this date from January 7 and April 28, respectively.

This holiday almost always allows you to be outside the city and spend more time with friends and relatives. Many Russians go to summer cottages to prepare them for planting the next crop and generally spending the summer. And for many, this is an opportunity to simply be in nature, which already pleases with its warmth and notes of summer.

At the same time, the duration of the working day is reduced by one hour.

How to rest on May 9

Victory Day - May 9 this year fell on a Wednesday. This day will be a day off in accordance with Article 112 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation. No transfers are provided.

For more than 70 years now, Russia and the whole world have been celebrating the events of the end of World War II, where a serious threat to all mankind was defeated - Nazi Germany and other countries bearing its ideology were destroyed. On this day, military parades and bright processions of military equipment are held, emphasizing the importance of maintaining peace and stability throughout the planet.

May 8 is a pre-holiday day, so the working day of employees should be reduced by one hour.

The legislative framework

On October 14, 2017, Prime Minister of the Russian Federation Dmitry Medvedev signed the Decree on the postponement of holidays and weekends in 2019.

WEEKEND CALENDAR IN MAY 2019

For 2019, there is a production calendar, which takes into account all official working days, weekends and holidays. Its basis was the Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation of October 14, 2017 No. 1250, which defines the postponement of days off.

Usually in such a calendar is marked:

• in red - where the transfer and / or combination of holidays and weekends took place in order to have a good rest for every working person in Russia;
• in a different color or a cross / asterisk - a shortened working day before an official holiday.

The annual May holidays were no exception, which make it possible to fully enjoy the coming spring, contribute to a more upbeat mood, prepare the cottage for the summer, etc. They traditionally go in a bunch of 2 holidays that everyone loves and reveres.

But there is also back side medals: as we rest during the May holidays in 2019, so we work them out. Because everything needs balance. Like in accounting.

May 1 - Spring and Labor Day - in 2019 fell on a Tuesday. It will be a public holiday. It is followed by Wednesday May 2 - it is declared a day off due to the postponement of the day off from January 7. The Cabinet of Ministers did not stop there: two more holidays were added to these two days off - on April 29 and 30. April 29 is a regular day off - Sunday. But on April 30 (Monday), everyone will have a rest, since they will work it out on Saturday - April 28, but as a shortened day.

Thus, May 2019 makes it possible to rest for 4 whole days in a row. Although, this required the transfer of weekends and a 6-day work week.

And if we talk about May 9, then Victory Day fell on the middle of the week - Wednesday. Therefore, on May 8, you can work a little less - according to a reduced time. But on May 10, you already have to go to work.

As a result, in the month of May 2019 there will be 4 and 1 days of holidays, respectively. Namely:

• from April 29 to May 02 inclusive;
• on May 09.

It is important that at the same time the working rhythm will not be lost, so the total number of working days in May 2019 will be 20, and days off - 11. Among them there will be 2 days of purely holidays.

With this schedule, you can immediately determine the working hours for May 2019 (see table):
