As you know, the sleigh is better to cook in the summer. It is better to plan in advance and rest on New Year's holidays. This will help us with information on how we will relax on New Year's holidays in 2017.

Labor Code on holidays in January

Article 112 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation lists non-working holidays, incl. related to the New Year holidays.

January public holidays include:

• New Year holidays - from January 1 to January 6, as well as January 8;
• Christmas Day - January 7th.

Weekend transfer rules

If a non-working holiday coincides with a day off, then this day off is transferred to the working day following the holiday. This is a general rule, enshrined in Art. 112 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation. However, it does not apply to public holidays in January. Of the January holidays coinciding with days off, the Labor Code allows only two days off to be postponed. This transfer procedure is approved by the Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation and is aimed at the rational use of days off and non-working public holidays.

Let us explain what this means with an example. With a five-day working week, the employee is entitled to two days off (Article 111 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation). As a rule, it is Saturday and Sunday.

In January 2017, 3 non-working holidays fall on Saturday and Sunday - these are January 1, January 7 and January 8, 2017. However, only 2 holidays will be transferred to working days.

How to relax in January 2017

In accordance with Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation of 04.08.2016 No. 756 "On the transfer of days off in 2017", January 1, 2017, which falls on Sunday, is transferred to Friday, February 24, 2017, and Saturday, January 7, 2017 - to Monday, 8 May. The third public holiday that falls on a weekend, Sunday 8 January 2017, is not rescheduled.

Thus, the New Year holidays in 2017 will last from January 1 to January 8, 2017, and given that December 31, 2016 is Saturday, we will rest from Saturday December 31, 2016 to Sunday January 8, 2017. The first working day of the new year will be Monday, January 9, 2017.

The inexorable winter has long come into its own, and now, with its snow and frost, it reminds more and more of the approaching New Year holidays. When looking at the calendar, it will become obvious that there is not so much time left before the New Year and you need to start planning for the upcoming holidays for yourself now.

Weekends and holidays in 2017.

Behind last years Russia has already developed a wonderful tradition of combining several New Year and Christmas holidays into a single festive decade. Moreover, this is not an initiative on the ground, but a legislative act, drawn up in the form of a schedule of working days for the next 2017, adopted in accordance with the requirements of Article 112 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation.

So, when does this multi-day holiday weekend start and end?

Winter Christmas holidays, starting with the advent of the New Year, are very well located in the calendar grid. Several calendar holiday dates, following one after another and interspersed with days off, made it possible to transfer rare working days to subsequent months, thanks to which the Russians got the opportunity to completely plunge into the festive New Year atmosphere for several days.

In fact, the galaxy of winter holidays begins on December 31 of the outgoing year. In order for people to have time to prepare a festive feast, decorate the Christmas tree and tidy up before the arrival of guests, many enterprises and companies make this day shorter for their employees.

This is not the first time that the State Duma has put forward an initiative to add the last day of the outgoing year to the festive calendar, but so far economic interests are taking precedence over the desires of people. However, this year December 31 falls on a Saturday, so most workers will have their legal day off anyway.

But the coming year of 2017 will allow you to rest completely legally! According to the approved schedule of working days, the New Year festivities will end only on January 8th. If you count together with Saturday December 31, then this will be 9 days!

So, the January nine-day holiday looks like this:

December 31, 2016 - Saturday, non-working day. For those who have a working six-day period, this day will be shortened.

Since the Law provides for the transfer of days off coinciding with holidays to other dates, we will receive “compensation” for them according to the following scheme:

for a non-working Saturday, January 1, the Russians will have a rest on February 24, on Friday, which, combined with the holiday on February 23, will give as much as 4 days of good rest.

For January 7, Saturday, the day off is postponed to May 8, Monday. On the eve of the Victory Day, an additional day off will also be a very good gift for us.

The long Christmas holidays provide an opportunity not only to celebrate the holidays with the family, but also to make a wonderful new year trip. Fortunately, the Russians have all the conditions for this.

Given the specifics of the New Year, the thought suggests itself of traveling to Finland or one of the nearby Scandinavian countries, which are traditionally associated with the homeland of Santa Claus and the Snow Maiden. However, a “journey into the summer” to the resorts of the southern hemisphere will also leave a very vivid memory in your memory.

Holidays are coming! And for them to be bright and colorful, you need to start making plans now!

Both adults and children are always looking forward to the New Year holidays. This is due to the fact that in this winter period there is a special atmosphere. Only convinced skeptics deny that there is still a certain spirit of the New Year and Christmas. However, adults have their own reasons to wait for the main winter holiday - after all, the Russian state will provide them with the opportunity to once again feel like children who study at school and enjoy a long break from work. Considering that the schedule of the New Year holidays changes from year to year, it will be useful to find out how we relax on the New Year holidays in 2017.

Official holidays for New Year: dates

AT Russian Federation have long been legally considered New Year and Christmas official holidays, which are indicated in the calendar in red, these days you can officially not go to work. It's no secret that the New Year is invariably celebrated on the night of December 31 to January 1, and Christmas (among Orthodox Christians) on January 7.

On the very last day of the year, December 31, in all homes there is a thorough preparation for the holiday. Housewives buy groceries, start cooking, clean up, decorate their homes and Christmas trees. It is difficult to have time to do all this before that cherished moment when the clock strikes midnight and the New Year looks into every house. December 31, despite the fact that this is a pre-holiday day, for which you need to have time to redo a bunch of things, unfortunately, is not an official holiday. According to the Labor Code of the Russian Federation, pre-holiday days, if they fall on a working day, are reduced by one working hour. Unfortunately, and this is sometimes not enough to do everything, so many people prefer to prepare for the holiday in advance, as there is a free minute.

In 2016, by chance, December 31 falls on Saturday, when many people have a day off. But this does not exempt from work those whose work schedule is designed for 6 days, or those whose work schedule is in shifts. The government decree on how we relax on the New Year holidays in 2017 is usually approved and signed 100 days before the New Year. Therefore, now you can find information about how we relax on the New Year holidays in 2017.

As statistics show, a series of New Year's "vacations" for all Russians always last up to 10 days. Many people worry that if official holidays that do not have to go to work fall on an already day off (Saturday or Sunday), then their holidays will be reduced. But in order to make a decision on how we rest for the New Year holidays 2017, which provides for such cases and makes various transfers so that citizens do not feel left out and can fully enjoy beautiful times new year holidays. Also, transfers in many cases are convenient in that they can be adjusted to other big holidays, for example May holidays, or February 23 and March 8.
In 2017, all transfers from the New Year holidays are mostly played on the May holidays.

So, let's see how we will relax on the New Year holidays in 2017 and analyze all the upcoming transfers.

31.12.2016 - a day off for working citizens according to a five-day schedule. For those who work six days a week or whose shift falls on a weekend, the working day is reduced by one hour (exceptions are private enterprises, where working conditions on weekends and holidays are prescribed in the employment contract).

01.01.2017 - holiday, New Year. Since the holiday falls on a Sunday, this day is moved to 02/24/2017, which means that the holiday on February 23 will be one day longer.

02.01.2017-05.01.2017 - the period from Monday to Thursday inclusive is a series of holidays, adding 4 more days to the weekend when you can forget about working moments and spend time with your family, friends, or even go on a short trip.

06.01.2017 - this is a pre-holiday day, Christmas Eve before Christmas, a day off.

January 7- a big holiday of Christmas, officially a non-working day, a day off. Since in 2017 Christmas also falls on Saturday, a day off, it is moved to May 8, thereby providing citizens with another day off dedicated to the Great Victory in World War II - May 9.

08.01.2017 - falls on Sunday, a day off.

To summarize all of the above, it turns out that the citizens of the Russian Federation will begin their long new year holidays already December 31, 2016. It will be necessary to return to work places and school desks on January 9, 2017. If we include December 31 in this series of holidays, which will simply be a day off by chance, then it turns out that Russians are given as many as 9 days to rest. By the way, in 2016, the Russians rested one day more and their New Year holidays were a decade.

Already official, the holidays will last from 12/31/2016 to 01/10/2017.

Attention! Such a schedule of New Year holidays applies to most working citizens, however, those who work in the field of trade will need to go to work as early as 01/02/201. The list of exceptions includes those employees who have a shift schedule.


Discussions about canceling the New Year holidays for Russians

A draft law was submitted to the State Duma for consideration so that Russians could have a rest at any time of the year, instead of the approved New Year holidays. The bill implies the preservation as a legal holiday non-working day only on January 1, and all the next 10 days to provide employees with paid leave. Citizens can use this paid vacation of 10 days at any time of the year, regardless of the New Year holidays, and it also joins the main vacation. That is, the citizens of Russia will have the opportunity to take a vacation twice. Also, such a mini-vacation can be taken as an addition to the main vacation, thereby increasing its duration.

Such a decision is considered due to the fact that it will positively affect the country's economy. According to the authors of the bill, according to statistics, during the New Year holidays, when most enterprises are empty, the Russian economy suffers losses equal to 3 trillion of the Russian national currency.

The production calendar for 2017, approved by the government of the Russian Federation, includes working hours in 2017. The 2017 production calendar reflects public holidays and weekends. A detailed commentary on the application of the production calendar for 2017 will help without payroll errors,sick leave or holiday pay, andcalculate working hours.

Attention!
Weekends and the number of working days in 2017 are approved by Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation of August 4, 2016 No. 756.

How to make a production calendar for 2017

The production calendar for 2017 is compiled, taking into account the following rules.

According to Article 112 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation, non-working holidays (weekends) in Russia are:

• January 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 8 - New Year holidays;
• January 7 - Christmas;
• February 23 - Defender of the Fatherland Day;
• March 8 - International Women's Day;
• May 1 - Spring and Labor Day;
• May 9 - Victory Day;
• June 12 - Day of Russia;
• November 4 - Day national unity.

If a weekend and a non-working holiday coincide, the day off is transferred to the next working day after the holiday.

The production calendar for 2017 was also compiled taking into account additional transfers of the New Year holidays. The fact is that federal laws or the Government of the Russian Federation may establish a special procedure for postponing holidays when they coincide with days off (for example, for the New Year holidays). This follows from the provisions of parts 2 and 5 of Article 112 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation. In 2017, January 1 and 7 fell on a weekend. The resulting additional days off will be postponed as follows: from January 1 to February 24, from January 7 to May 8.

In addition to the all-Russian regional legislation, additional non-working holidays (weekends) can be established (part 1 of article 6 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation, resolution of the Presidium of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation of December 21, 2011 No. 20-PV11).

As a rule, the norm of working time for certain periods of time is calculated according to the schedule of a five-day working week with two days off (a day off on Saturday and a day off on Sunday) based on the following duration of daily work (shift):

• with a 40-hour work week, eight hours;
• when the working week is less than 40 hours, the number of hours obtained by dividing the established working week by five days.

On the eve of non-working holidays, working hours are reduced by one hour (Article 95 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation).
