In the middle of autumn, the Russians have already managed to feel longing. Many people dream of sleeping longer, spending time with relatives and friends, and not in business and worries. I wish there were more weekends and fewer working days.

However, in the fall there is only one Public Holiday. It's November 4th - Day national unity. Let's find out how many days we have a rest in November 2018, what is the history of the holiday, who was more lucky with the rest, and who was less lucky.

National Unity Day: historical background

4.11 - enough new holiday. The Russians first celebrated it in 2005. The memorable date is dedicated to the events of 1612. Then the forces of the people's militia under the leadership of K. Minin and D. Pozharsky saved the Mother See from the Polish invaders. The leaders were unanimously chosen by the people. In addition, this event led to the end of the Time of Troubles in Russia and the establishment of the rule of the Romanov dynasty.

For many years during the existence of the USSR, citizens celebrated another holiday in November - the anniversary of the October Revolution, which took place on October 25, 1917, and according to the new style, the date was moved to November 7. In 2005, the Government canceled the revolutionary holiday in favor of National Unity Day.

Holidays in November 2018 in Russia: how to relax

The calendar, especially the production one, tells us what falls in total for this month:

• 30 calendar days;
• 21 workers;
• 9 weekends and holidays.

An official holiday that entitles Russians to an additional day off - 4.11. Therefore, Russia rests in November 2018 for only one “extra” day.

Since November 4 falls on a Sunday, according to the rules, it is transferred to the next business day, which is Monday, 05.11.

There are no shortened working days in November 2018. If November 4th fell on a Saturday, then work time on the previous Friday, 03.11, was to be reduced by an hour. But the holiday is on Sunday, and this rule no longer applies to Friday.

The following hours of operation apply in November:

• with a 40-hour week - 168 hours;
• at 36 hours - 151.2;
• at 24-hour - 100, 8.

The specified information and norms apply to a 5-day working week. There are also 6-day weeks, in which case the mentioned rules of working hours and days off do not apply.

Let's tell you how we relax in November 2018 in Russia with a six-day work week:

• days off - 5, including Monday 05.11;
• workers - 25;
• Saturday 03.11 - a shortened working day, as it falls before the holiday.

Schoolchildren have more rest than adults, because these days fall on autumn holidays. The exact schedule is set by the school itself, since now the division into quarters is not necessary. Some institutions use trimesters, modules and bimestres instead.

Who determines how Russians relax on holidays?

So, we figured out the question of how we rest on November 4, 2018. Days off (their transfer) do not always occur according to this logic. This order is led by the Government, it issues a special Decree, which is developed by the Ministry of Labor.

The basic norms regarding public holidays are enshrined in the Labor Code of the Russian Federation, in its article 112.

Also significant is the Order of the Ministry of Health and Social Development of the Russian Federation “On approval of the procedure for calculating the norm of working hours for certain calendar periods of time (month, quarter, year) depending on the established working hours per week” dated 13.08.2009 No. 588n.

In Russia, at the state level, a Christian religious holiday is celebrated - January 7 - Christmas. Some subjects of the Russian Federation profess a different religion and establish other holidays in regional legislation, taking into account national characteristics. This is what happens in Tatarstan, Bashkortostan and a number of other regions. Also, regions have the right to establish their own holidays. In the Saratov region, for example, there is an additional day off dedicated to christian day commemoration of the dead - Radunitsa.

The established regime of weekends and holidays must be observed by the municipal, government agencies, all "budgetary" organizations. This also applies to commercial ones, but the rules for attracting workers to work on weekends are often violated there.

How do we relax in 2019?

On the this year the Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation “On the postponement of holidays in 2018” dated October 14, 2017 No. 1250 is in force.

Next year, 2019, there will be a different regulation. Its content is already known. Next official holidays for the Russians will New Year, Christmas and New Year holidays.

The production calendar with transfers clearly demonstrates how many days the country has a rest for the New Year and other holidays:

• in accordance with Art. 112 TC New Year holidays last from January 1 to 6 and 8;
• 7.01 we celebrate Christmas;
• 30.12.2018 and 31.12. 2018 is also non-working days.

In total, Russians will rest for 10 days on the New Year - from 12/30 to 08/01.

According to the new Decree on the transfer of holidays that fall on weekends:

• Saturday 05.01. shifts and makes a day off Thursday 02.05;
• Sunday 06.01 - Friday 03.05.

In addition, 23.02 is moved to Friday 10.05. And after New Year holidays we are expected on February 23, March 8, and then - long the May holidays, on which we will rest from the 1st to the 5th, and later - from the 9th to the 12th.

October is coming to an end, which means that the autumn school holidays and the famous November holidays are approaching, including a fairly new one - National Unity Day. However, this holiday in November is not the only one - there are several more anniversaries that are not weekends.

National Unity Day: when is it celebrated how much we rest in 2018

National Unity Day celebrated annually November 4. This holiday is a day off. In 2018, November 4 falls on a Sunday, and the “missed” day off will be compensated by a rest on Monday, November 5.

Thus, in 2018, on National Unity Day, Russians will be able to relax for three days in a row: 3, 4 and 5 November inclusive. On Friday, November 2, which is considered pre-holiday, the working day will be reduced by an hour.

It should be noted that the practice of “reimbursing” days off that fell on public holidays is enough new tradition, enshrined in amendments to the Labor Code of 1992. Article 112 of this document provides for the mandatory provision of additional days off for Russians for holidays that fell on Saturday or Sunday.

National Unity Day: history and modern traditions

National Unity Day celebrated in Russia since 2005 in honor of the liberation of Moscow in 1612 by the Nizhny Novgorod people's militia under the leadership Kuzma Minina and Dmitry Pozharsky.

In early November 1612, the militias drove the Polish interventionists out of Moscow, this was a sign of the end of the Great Troubles and the establishment of a strong statehood in Russia. Thanks to the liberation of Moscow, it became possible to enthrone the 16-year-old Mikhail Romanov, which marked the beginning of the three-hundred-year rule of the Romanov dynasty in Russia.

It is in honor of these events that the next king - Alexey Mikhailovich- ordered to celebrate the day of the Kazan Icon of the Mother of God not only in summer, but also on November 4 (October 22, according to the old style).

National Unity Day is a rather new holiday, but it has already acquired its own traditions. Most of the events on this day have a patriotic focus. Processions, rallies, concerts, patriotic flash mobs, etc. will take place throughout the country.

And Petersburgers are very fond of the autumn festival of light, which is traditionally timed to coincide with the Day of National Unity. This year the festival will be held in a new place - on the square in front of the Petersburg Sports and Concert Complex (SKK) and in the Moscow Victory Park.

What other holidays are celebrated in November

In Soviet times, the main Soviet holiday was celebrated in November - the Day of the Great October Socialist Revolution, which was celebrated for two days - November 7 and 8. The seventh of November was devoted to official celebrations, and the eighth was just a holiday.

Today, November 7 is a memorable day, which is mainly honored by the communists and representatives of leftist parties and movements.

In addition, several other holidays, both Russian and international, are celebrated in November.

November 1 - All Saints Day, the continuation of the famous Halloween, which is celebrated on the night of October 31 to November 1.

November 7 is the Day of the October Revolution of 1917 and the Day of Military Glory in memory of the military parade on Red Square in Moscow in 1941.

For Russians, the question of how they relax in November is a topical issue, because there have been no holidays since the summer, and in this case you can expect an additional day off. You can find out what official holidays will be in November in this article.

Every year in November, a public holiday is celebrated - the Day of National Unity. It is celebrated in honor of the victory over the invaders from Poland. Apart from state day, this day is considered the day of military glory. All military men treat this day with trepidation.

Traditionally, the holiday is celebrated on November 4th. For many Russians, the question of how everyone relaxes is still unclear for many residents. This year, the holiday falls on a public holiday. But do not worry, because the holiday will be postponed to the next day.

It turns out that in Russia there will be three days off, starting from 3 to 5 November. Despite the postponement of the holiday, all events will take place on the 4th. Therefore, you need to plan your plans for this day in advance.

Judging by the calendar for 2018, there will be 9 days off in November. The first weekend will begin from November 3 to 5, when the Russians will celebrate a public holiday. It is the first after July and the last before the New Year holidays.

After these days, the Russians will rest according to the working schedule, no further transfers are expected. It turns out that those who work 5 days a week, in addition to the indicated days, workers will rest:

• November 10-11;
• November 17-18;
• November 24-25.

For those who work 6 days a week, another change of days off is set. For them, November 5 will also be a day off. They will also rest on the following days:

• 4 and 5 November;
• November 18th;
• November 25.

For these workers, November 3 is considered a pre-holiday day, so the working day for them should be reduced by one hour. For another category of citizens, Saturday will not be considered a holiday, so on Friday the working day will not be shortened. However, most entrepreneurs make these decisions on their own.

How does a day off affect your salary?
The holiday will not affect the salary of those citizens who work 40 hours a week and receive a fixed wages. For those who are paid by the hour, this day will not be paid at the worked out rate, it will be calculated at the average rate.

It can be concluded that no one will lose wages due to an additional day off. For those who are going on vacation, the day off will not be taken into account.

Every year in early November, Russians celebrate National Unity Day. A holiday is always made a day off, so weekends and holidays with transfers are indicated in advance in the official calendar.

Next month there will be an opportunity to take a break for a few days from busy working days. All working days, official holidays, transfers are marked in the production calendar.

With a five-day working week, November 2 will be the last working day before the rest. Then the 3rd and 4th are legal holidays, while November 4th is a holiday. Since the holiday fell on Sunday, Monday, November 5, the Russians will also not work.

In general, in November there will be 21 working days, days off - 9. The duration of the November holiday weekend will be three days - from the 3rd to the 5th inclusive.

National Unity Day is celebrated on Sunday, so it was decided to make the next day non-working, in accordance with Art. 112 of the Labor Code of Russia. The holiday is moved to the first day of the week. So, the Russians will work for four days, then legal holidays will come again.
