Holidays in November: how to relax. National Unity Day in Russia will be celebrated for three days Will November 3 be a short day

Holiday itself Day national unity, which Russians annually celebrate on November 4, this year fell on a day off, Saturday. In this regard, almost all employees expect a long weekend, because the government postponed Saturday rest to Monday. But will the shortened day of November 3, 2017 be after such transfers? Let's figure it out together.

Legislation

Article 95 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation establishes the obligation of employers to shorten the working day if it is the last before the holiday date. The norms of this article apply to the production calendar for 2017, from which it follows that:

The duration of the working day or shift immediately preceding a non-working holiday is reduced by one hour.

In the same article, legislators define the concept of holidays". These include the dates that immediately precede the holiday. However, not all citizens have the opportunity to work an hour less on such a date. Those workers who work on a schedule five days a week for 8 hours a day will experience this benefit to the fullest. But employees who have an irregular work schedule, for example, when the enterprise is operating in a continuous cycle or performing activities in which it is impossible to reduce the duration of the shift on the pre-holiday day, will not be able to use this preference. Therefore, for them, the employer must provide for compensation and prescribe such an opportunity in the collective agreement. The choice of compensation method must be made by the employee himself. It could be:

  • extra time for rest;
  • payment according to the norms established by labor legislation for overtime work.

November 3 - short working day

Since Friday 3 November 2017 immediately precedes the holiday non-working day November 4, expressly stated in article 112 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation, it is recognized as a pre-holiday date. Therefore, it should be shorter by 1 hour for all employees of Russian organizations and entrepreneurs, with the exception of those who work on a special schedule. Together with him, shortened days fell only three times in 2017:

  • February 22 - before the holiday, Defender of the Fatherland Day, which is celebrated on February 23;
  • March 7 - before International Women's Day on March 8;
  • November 3 - before the National Unity Day on November 4.

And this is the last one calendar year shortened day. In all other cases, the days before the holidays coincided with the usual official days off, so they did not affect the length of working time.

Working hours on November 3 with a six-day working week

If an organization works on a six-day week, then its employees retain the right to a shorter working day. Therefore, the pre-holiday day of November 3 for them will also be reduced by one hour. However, the legislation does not provide for the opportunity to rest on Monday the 6th for such a schedule. Indeed, article 112 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation states that the transfer of rest is carried out only if the holiday falls on a weekend. On a six-day week, Saturday is not a day off.

Less work on Friday

In some organizations, the internal regulations provide for a reduction in the length of the working day on Fridays. Such an initiative of management is usually welcomed by employees, but has nothing to do with the norms of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation. special regime the organization must register the work in the internal normative act(order or order of work). At the same time, such a duration of work on Fridays should not affect the salary in any way. By the way, for the legislative reduction of working hours by an hour, employers also have no right to reduce wages. For a shortened day, you will have to pay for both 8 hours worked for all employees: both those who receive a salary and those for whom an hourly wage is set.

You can always find out about all weekends, holidays and shortened days from a special section of the site. Soon the production calendar for 2017 will be published in the same section. And the holidays and long weekends in 2017 end there. The next long vacation awaits the Russians during the New Year holidays, which will begin on December 31, Sunday. Will it be reduced work time December 29, you will find out if you follow our publications.

- This is a near-Earth object with a diameter of about 30 meters. It was discovered on August 29, 2006, when it was at a distance of 4.5 million km. from our planet. Scientists observed the celestial body for 10 days, after which the asteroid ceased to be visible in telescopes.

Based on such a short observation period, it is impossible to accurately determine the distance at which the asteroid 2006 QV89 will approach the Earth on 09/09/2019, since the asteroid has not been observed since then (since 2006). Moreover, according to various estimates, the object may approach our planet not at all on the 9th, but on a different date in September 2019.

As for whether 2006 QV89 will hit Earth on September 9, 2019 or not - the chance of a collision is extremely low.

Thus, the Sentry System (developed by the JPL Center for NEO Studies) shows that the probability of a body colliding with the Earth is 1:9100 (those. about one ten thousandth of a percent).

The European Space Agency (ESA) estimates the chance of an asteroid orbit crossing our planet as 1 to 7300 (0,00014 % ). The ESA ranked 2006 QV89 as the 4th celestial body of potential danger to Earth. According to the agency, the exact time of the "flight" of the body on September 9, 2019 is 10:03 Moscow time.

In both Orthodoxy and Catholicism, Easter always falls on a Sunday.

Preceding Easter 2020 is Lent, which begins 48 days before happy holiday. And after 50 days celebrate the Trinity.

Popular pre-Christian customs that have survived to this day include dyeing eggs, making Easter cakes and curd cakes.


Easter treats are consecrated in the church on Saturday, on the eve of Easter 2020, or after the service on the very day of the Feast.

To greet each other on Easter should be the words "Christ is Risen", and to answer - "Truly Risen."

For the Russian team, this will be the fourth game in this qualifying tournament. Recall that in the previous three meetings, Russia “at the start” lost to Belgium with a score of 1:3, and then won two dry victories - over Kazakhstan (4:0) and over San Marino (9:0). The last victory was the largest ever for the existence of the Russian national football team.

As for the upcoming meeting, according to the bookmakers, the Russian team is the favorite in it. The Cypriots are objectively weaker than the Russians, and nothing good can be expected from the upcoming match for the islanders. However, we must take into account that the teams have never met before, and therefore we can expect unpleasant surprises.

The Russia-Cyprus meeting will take place on June 11, 2019 In Nizhniy Novgorod at the stadium of the same name built for the 2018 FIFA World Cup. Start of the match - 21:45 Moscow time.

Where and what time do the national teams of Russia and Cyprus play:
* Location of the match - Russia, Nizhny Novgorod.
* Game start time - 21:45 Moscow time.

Soon, the Day of National Unity will be celebrated in the country and abroad. This is the last holiday of the year before New Year holidays. Therefore, it is not surprising that citizens who miss the rest have a question: how do we relax in November 2017 in Russia?

Let's figure out how profitable such a weekend is and how they fit into.

Holidays in November 2017 in Russia (non-working days)

The Labor Code of the Russian Federation states that National Unity Day is an official non-working day. This means that the day before everyone will work 1 hour less (Article 95 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation). By the way, if in such cases the holiday itself falls on Saturday or Sunday, it is transferred to the next working date (Article 112 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation).

So let's look at the calendar. November 2017 starts on Wednesday, and November 4 - official holiday- Falls on Saturday. It turns out that the Russians should also rest during the next working week? Yes! Here are the weekends in November 2017 in Russia:

  • Saturday - 4th;
  • Sunday - 5th;
  • Monday is the 6th.

However, despite the postponement established by the Labor Code of the Russian Federation, the question of whether November 6, 2017 is a day off or a working day is unambiguously resolved only for those citizens who are on a five-day week. If you work six days a week, you will rest on the 4th and work on the 6th.

What else can employees expect?

Remember: Friday, November 3 - shortened before the weekend. If the company has a five-day working week, then on this day all its employees can go home 1 hour earlier. With a six-day week, the duration of work cannot exceed 5 hours.

The only unlucky people in Russia are citizens who work in continuously operating organizations or in such types of work where it is impossible to reduce the duration of the shift before the holiday. First of all, these are police officers, ambulance doctors, workers in production and enterprises with an uninterrupted regime. But employers are required to take into account the red day of the calendar and provide this category of workers with either double pay for the hour worked or additional rest time.

Note that in Russia, the employee who is on a business trip during the celebrations is also entitled to count on monetary or material compensation.

Will the salary go down?

National Unity Day shortens Friday by 1 hour, and also allows Russians to relax an extra day in the month. However, such an advantage should not be reflected in the salary of those who receive it in accordance with the salary. Companies are prohibited from taking holidays into account when calculating salaries, which means that rest will be paid for employees.

Is there a benefit for vacationers?

Those who are planning a vacation in a month with a holiday should remember that in Russia holidays are not taken into account when calculating the duration of the vacation (Article 120 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation). That is, if you are required by law to have 28 calendar days, then the celebrations for national unity will not increase your vacation. Here it will be beneficial to write an application for rest from Tuesday, the 7th, since before that it is still a weekend.

For employees who receive a salary in the form of a salary, the holiday will not increase the amount of vacation pay. As for pieceworkers, here the amount of payment depends on the earnings of a particular person.

November 4th we celebrate Public Holiday, which is called "Day of National Unity". This is an official non-working holiday (Article 112 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation).

The holiday was established by the Federal Law “On Amendments to the federal law"On the days of military glory (victorious days) of Russia" ” dated July 21, 2005 No. 98-FZ and was first celebrated on November 4, 2005. By tradition, on the Day of National Unity, rallies, processions, concerts, sporting events, etc. are organized and held in the cities of our country.

We rest in memory of the events of 1612. At this time, the people's militia, led by K. Minin and D. Pozharsky, liberated Moscow from the Polish invaders. Historically, this holiday is associated with the end of the Time of Troubles in Russia in the 17th century.

Is the day shortened November 3, 2017

Let's make all our employees happy. Answer to exciting question- whether the shortened day of November 3 is positive. Now let's explain why in detail.

The pre-holiday day, November 3, 2017, falls on a Friday. The duration of the working day on November 3 or the shift preceding the non-working holiday should be reduced by 1 hour. There is an indication of this in Art. 95 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation. Therefore, November 3 is a short working day with a reduced working time of 1 hour.

How do we relax

So, how many days off do Russians expect at the beginning of the month.

At five days

In connection with upcoming holiday workers in the five-day regime will be given a short vacation, consisting of three days of rest. They will last from the 4th to the 6th inclusive. Since this year the holiday falls on Saturday, the holiday will be moved to Monday. That is November 6th.

With a six day work week

It is worth noting that quite a lot of citizens work with a six-day work week. How do they rest? Those who work with one day off do not have to count on an extra day of rest on Monday. The fact is that the transfer is used when planning the working time of employees who have a five-day week with days off on Saturday and Sunday and for whom the transferred day is a working day.

Salary

According to the Labor Code of the Russian Federation, all employees have the right to rest on weekends and non-working holidays. Moreover, the legislation establishes a direct ban on working on such days. And only in exceptional cases, the employer can attract employees to work. According to Art. 153 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation, work on such days provides for increased pay - at least double the amount. It is also necessary to follow the procedure for attracting an employee to work. This can only be done with his consent. At the same time, it is not allowed to involve in work on holidays, even with the consent of:

  • pregnant women;
  • employees under the age of 18. An exception is made for athletes and creative workers.

At the request of a person who went to work on a weekend or holiday, the employer can provide him with rest on another day. In this case, work on a weekend or non-working holiday will be paid in a single amount, and the day of rest is not paid.

On November 4, Russia celebrates National Unity Day. In this regard, in November 2017, the Russians will have a three-day rest. There is only one official holiday - November 4th. But in 2017 this day falls on Saturday, therefore, according to the current legislation, the day off is postponed to Monday, November 6th.

November 4(Saturday) - day off

November 6(Monday) - public holiday (transferred from November 4)

November holidays 2017 - calendar

The holiday itself - National Unity Day - often causes misunderstanding. Someone shrugs their shoulders in bewilderment and confuses this day with the Independence Day of Russia, someone recognizes only November 7 and considers November 4 a kind of “transfer” memorable date, and for someone November 4 is the day of the Kazan Icon of the Mother of God. The majority simply enjoys an additional day off in a series of tired autumn days.
Therefore, it would probably be useful to recall that National Unity Day is a memory of events long ago past days, namely, the liberation by the people's militia, headed by Kuzma Minin and Dmitry Pozharsky, of Moscow from the Polish invaders. It was in 1612. This date is a turning point in the history of Russia, it marks the end of the Time of Troubles.

The first sculptural composition of Moscow, the first monument dedicated to folk heroes is the monument to Minin and Pozharsky in Moscow. It was built not with state money, but with donations collected throughout Russia by the initiators - the Free Society of Lovers of Literature, Sciences and Arts. And it was also the first time. The collected donations were enough not only to create the famous sculptural composition, which, by the way, was cast in bronze in St. Petersburg, and sent to Moscow by water through Nizhny Novgorod, but also to the obelisk in Nizhny Novgorod, where, in fact, the second militia was born.
