Public holidays in November 2018

The holiday was established in December 2004 on the initiative of the Interreligious Council of Russia, consisting of leaders of the country's traditional faiths, as a national holiday uniting all the peoples of Russia.

This new national holiday was first celebrated on November 4, 2005, but its history begins much earlier - several centuries ago.

In 2018 it is celebrated for the 14th time. This is an official day off (Article 112 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation).

National Unity Day: what kind of holiday

November 4th was one of the main Orthodox holidays - the Day of the Icon of the Kazan Mother of God - a spiritual symbol of liberation from foreign invaders of the Russian capital.

It was the lists from this icon, miraculously found in Kazan in 1579, that helped in the battles with the invaders, first the first zemstvo militia, and then the second, which, led by Prince D. Pozharsky, drove the Poles out of Moscow.

Then, in November 1612, a radical turning point came in overcoming the Troubles and fighting foreign intervention.

Moreover, this was achieved not by the army, not by the army assembled by the authorities, but by civil uprising, self-organized movement. This is the only such case in Russian history.

Restoration of Russian statehood by the forces of the people, who, having expelled the Polish interventionists, themselves chose a new government, and the derivation of the pedigree modern Russia dated November 4, 1612 and is the political meaning of the holiday.

Indeed, then Russia was saved from one of the greatest dangers that threatened it in history. Russia's complete loss of sovereignty was more than real.

The demographic, economic, financial, political and military capabilities of Poland were significantly higher than those of Russia - only in terms of population, Russia was almost 2 times inferior to Poland (7 million versus 12 million people).

Let's add to this the betrayal of the comprador clique - the boyars who swore allegiance to Prince Vladislav (for a completely legitimate transfer of power, only the signature of Patriarch Hermogenes was missing).

And we will get a completely unpromising picture of the further history of Russia under the Lyakh-Lithuanian yoke, in which there would be no place for greatness Russian Empire the Romanov era, nor for the achievements and victories of the USSR.

Healthy forces were found among the church class (Patriarch Hermogenes, who refused to recognize the Polish sovereign, for which he was starved to death, the monks of the Trinity-Sergei Lavra, who sent letters of conscription throughout Russia), ordinary people (Nizhny Novgorod butcher K. Minin, Kostroma peasant I. Susanin), some representatives of the nobility (Ryazan nobleman P. Lyapunov, who started the first militia, was hacked to death by the Cossacks while trying to pacify the looting, Prince D. Pozharsky). And all of them were mainly representatives of the provinces.

From the old holiday, rooted in history, National Unity Day has inherited many wonderful traditions. On this day in Rus' it was customary to forgive old debts, give gifts, give old things to the poor, etc.

How to celebrate

The first Day of National Unity was solemnly celebrated in 2005 - Nizhny Novgorod became the main center of the festive events. The main event of the holiday was the opening of the monument to Kuzma Minin and Dmitry Pozharsky.

This year they plan to celebrate National Unity Day as magnificently as in previous years. The most ambitious events are planned in Moscow and Nizhny Novgorod, where the militia of Minin and Pozharsky came from.

A large, multimillion-dollar procession through the city and laying flowers at the memorial to Minin and Pozharsky are planned.

On National Unity Day are held holiday events patriotic activities, processions, celebrations, fairs, exhibitions and so on. All major parks in Moscow have prepared a large entertainment program for National Unity Day.

The Kremlin will host a ceremony to present the Presidential Prize for Strengthening Unity Russian nation and the “We are One” concert.

Solemn concerts, fireworks, and mass festivities will be held throughout the country.

The production calendar for 2016 shows the standard working hours for months, quarters and 2016 as a whole for 40-, 36- and 24-hour work weeks, as well as the number of working days and days off for a five-day work week with two days off.

According to Article 112 of the Labor Code Russian Federation(hereinafter referred to as the Labor Code of the Russian Federation) (as amended by Federal Law No. 35-FZ dated April 23, 2012) non-working holidays in the Russian Federation are:

  • January 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 8 — New Year holidays;
  • January 7—Christmas Day;
  • 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—Russia Day;
  • November 4 is National Unity Day.

The Labor Code of the Russian Federation establishes that if a day off coincides with a non-working holiday, the day off is transferred to the next working day after the holiday. Thus, in 2016 the following days off are postponed:

  • from Sunday 1 May to Monday 2 May;
  • from Sunday 12 June to Monday 13 June.

The exception is weekends that coincide with non-working holidays in January. In accordance with Art. 112 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation The Government of the Russian Federation has the right to transfer two days off from the number of days off that coincide with non-working January holidays to other days in the next calendar year. Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation dated September 24, 2015 No. 1017 “On the transfer of days off in 2016” provides for the transfer of days off:

  • from Saturday January 2 to Tuesday May 3;
  • from Sunday January 3 to Monday March 7;
  • from Saturday 20 February to Monday 22 February.

In accordance with the “Procedure for calculating the norm of working time for certain calendar periods of time (month, quarter, year) depending on the established duration of working time per week,” approved by order of the Ministry of Health and Social Development of Russia dated August 13, 2009 No. 588n, this norm is calculated according to the five-day calculated schedule working week with two days off on Saturday and Sunday, based on the duration of daily work (shift):

  • with a 40-hour work week - 8 hours;
  • with a 36-hour work week - 7.2 hours;
  • with a 24-hour work week - 4.8 hours.

Duration of the working day or shift immediately preceding the non-working day holiday, decreases by one hour. In 2016, such pre-holiday working days are:

  • February 20th ;
  • the 3rd of November .

The standard working time calculated in the specified order applies to all work and rest regimes.

An example of calculating the standard working time in November 2016 with a five-day working week with two days off (initial data: 21 working days, on November 3 the working day was reduced by 1 hour):

  • calculation for a 40-hour work week:
    (8 hours x 21 days) - 1 hour = 167 hours;

  • (7.2 hours x 21 days) - 1 hour = 150.2 hours;

  • (4.8 hours x 21 days) - 1 hour = 99.8 hours.

In 2016, 247 working days, including 2 working days reduced by one hour. Calculation of standard working hours for 2016 with a five-day work week with two days off:

  • with a 40-hour work week:
    (8 hours x 247 days - 2 hours) = 1974 hours;
  • with a 36-hour work week:
    (7.2 hours x 247 days - 2 hours) = 1776.4 hours;
  • with a 24-hour work week:
    (4.8 hours x 247 days - 2 hours) = 1183.6 hours.

Thus, the shortened working day on November 3 is the last one for this calendar year. In all other cases, the days before the holidays coincided with regular official days off, so they did not affect the length of working hours. You can find out about all weekends, holidays and shortened days in 2016 from the production calendar in a special section of the St. Petersburg legal portal. A calendar for 2017 will soon appear in this section.

What the Labor Code says

Shortened working days are regulated; its standards apply to the production calendar for 2016 and other years. From its norms it follows that:

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

As for the very definition of “pre-holiday days,” it is obvious from the novelty of Article 95 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation that such a day is the day that immediately precedes the holiday. It follows from this that the pre-holiday day of November 3 should be shorter by 1 hour for all employees of Russian organizations and entrepreneurs if they work on a schedule five days a week for 8 hours. In the case of an irregular work schedule, for example, when an enterprise operates in a continuous cycle or carries out activities in which reducing the duration of a shift on a pre-holiday day is impossible, the employer must compensate its employees for overtime for this day. The choice of compensation method is made with the consent of the employee. It could be:

  • additional rest time;
  • payment according to the standards established by law for overtime work.

If the organization operates on a six-day work week, then the shortened day on November 3 will also be shortened by one hour, and the duration of working hours on Saturday, as a general rule, cannot always exceed 5 hours.

Some employers give employees the opportunity to leave work an hour earlier on Fridays. There is no such provision in the legislation and this is a personal initiative of the organization’s management. This mode of operation should be enshrined in internal regulations and should not in any way affect wages. By the way, for the shortened pre-holiday day of November 3, wages must also be paid in full, as for 8 hours worked. Even those workers who are paid hourly.

National Unity Day on November 4 ends the holidays in 2016. Next time, Russians will have the opportunity to rest longer only during the New Year holidays, which will begin on December 31, which this year fell on a Saturday, and will last until January 9, 2017, when citizens will have to start working.

In all organizations on the territory of the Russian Federation, the Labor Code (LC RF) has been in force since 02/01/2002. The laws contained in it regulate labor interactions between employers and employees. The Code is mandatory for all forms of organizations and individual entrepreneurs using hired labor. It consists of 6 parts and 13 sections. In particular, the Code defines and regulates wages, working hours and work on holidays.

What does the Labor Code of the Russian Federation say?

Article 95 of the Labor Code specifies the duration of working hours (shifts) on the days preceding state non-working holidays.

Working hours on a pre-holiday day are reduced by 1 hour without a reduction in pay. If an enterprise (organization) cannot reduce work time, the production process is continuous, and in some areas a sliding work schedule is used, then according to the Labor Code of the Russian Federation, the employer must compensate for overtime with additional paid rest time or (with the written consent of the employee) increased pay (as overtime) for one hour.

Holiday calendar

In Russia, the Labor Code defines public holidays. They are official holidays:

  • New Year holidays - from 01.01 to 06.01 and 08.01 (according to the amendments made to Article 112 of the Labor Code of the Federal Law No. 35-FZ dated 04/23/2012);
  • Christmas - 07.01;
  • International Women's Day - 08.03;
  • Spring and Labor Day - 01.05;
  • Victory Day - 09.05;
  • Russia Day - 12.06;

Pre-holiday days are working hours that immediately precede the holidays. If there is a Saturday or Sunday before a holiday, then working Friday is not a shortened pre-holiday day.

Working days whose duration is reduced by one hour:

  • 2017: November 3, March 7 and February 22;
  • 2018: February 22, March 7, April 28, May 8, June 9, December 29.

Please note: if a working day (Saturday or Sunday) occurs due to the postponement of a pre-holiday day, then the duration of work at this time is reduced by one hour, because it is considered a shortened pre-holiday day.

For example, in April 2018, the working day of April 30 (which precedes the holiday) will be moved to Saturday 28. The pre-holiday day in this case is April 28, not April 30.

Features of part-time workers

A shortened pre-holiday working day according to the Labor Code of the Russian Federation is established for all categories of workers. If an employee works part-time - less than an hour (for example, a part-time worker at 0.1 rate) or an incomplete week - four working days (instead of five), then he has the right to have his working hours reduced before a holiday. In this case, the employee does not go to work (since his working day is one hour), and 0 working hours are noted on his timesheet. Payment for the month is made in full.

Payment for "shortened" time

A shortened holiday is not a reason to reduce wages.

There are some nuances:

  • if an employee is paid according to a salary or a daily tariff rate under an employment contract, then the shortened pre-holiday day is paid in full (excluding the shortened hour);
  • if an employee’s work is paid at an hourly rate, then for the pre-holiday day payment will be made for the time actually worked, the “reduced” hour is not paid;
  • if an employee is paid on a piece-rate basis, then, regardless of the day of work, payment is made for the actual amount of work;
  • If an employee works a shortened working day under an employment contract, then payment for the shortened working day is made according to general rules and depends on the type of payment (salary, daily rate, hourly rate or piecework payment).

If the working day cannot be shortened

Not all enterprises can provide short working hours to all employees. If employees continue to work, then in this case they will have to pay one hour of overtime.

According to the Labor Code, overtime work is paid for the first two hours no less than one and a half times the rate, for subsequent hours - no less than double. Payment for overtime hours at a particular enterprise must be prescribed by local regulations.

Example: mechanic Ivanov I.I., according to his employment contract, has an 11-hour shift (working time). His hourly wage is 150 rubles per hour.

Ivanov I.I.’s work shift fell on 02/22/2017. It is not possible to provide him with a shortened work shift. The production process cannot be interrupted.

For ten hours of work, Ivanov I.I. was paid 1,500 rubles. (150 rubles/hour x 10 hours).

Payment for one hour of overtime work - 225 rubles. (1 hour x 150 rubles/hour x 1.5).

Conclusion

When working hours are reduced on a pre-holiday day, the accountant should be guided by the Labor Code of the Russian Federation to pay for it. Need to remember:

  • the specifics of payment depend on the remuneration system individually specified in each employment contract;
  • All categories of workers have the right to a pre-holiday shortened working day.

Good luck to everyone working!
