Transfers

Having dealt with the question of how many holidays there are in January 2019, let's move on to transfers. According to Part 1 of Art. 112 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation, 01/05/2019 and 01/06/2019 are public holidays. General rule: A day off that coincides with a non-working holiday is transferred to the weekday following the holiday. However, this rule has an exception, which concerns just the period of the New Year holidays: there is no automatic transfer here.

Part 5 Art. 112 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation allows the Government to transfer such days to others. Thus, according to the draft Government Decree Russian Federation“On the transfer of holidays in 2019”, from Saturday and Sunday, the 5th and 6th, the transfer will be carried out on Thursday and Friday, May 2 and 3, respectively.

How many working days in January 2019

The first winter month has 17 working days. A little later we will talk about the norm of time in this half-work month.

Non-working days in January 2019 in Russia

The beginning of 2019 will give Russians as many as 14 non-working days, of which six fall on regular Saturdays and Sundays, and eight were donated by the state for full-fledged New Year's festivities (including festive Saturdays and Sundays).

How do we relax at Christmas

For part of the country's population, the big question is why are religious holidays officially celebrated in a secular state? Some see this as an infringement on the rights of non-Orthodox believers, others as the imposition of a particular religion. Disputes continue, and at the same time, Russia officially celebrates Christmas on the 7th.

In 2019, Christmas falls on Monday, this is the penultimate day of the New Year holidays.

Working hours

The norm of working time can be calculated by yourself, for this, the number of hours of the working week must be divided by 5, and then multiplied by working days according to the calendar of the five-day week of the current month. If there are reductions in working hours on pre-holiday days in a month, then from the number of hours received (calculated according to the formula described above), it is necessary to subtract the number of “reduced” ones.

It is unlikely that someone will want to independently calculate the norm of working hours using the formula, so we offer specific norms for this month:

• 136 hours - with a 40-hour work week;
• 122.4 - at 36 hours;
• 81.6 - at 24-hour.

The weekend schedule for the New Year holidays of 2018 is not very different from previous years. As usual, workers are given a whole week of vacation.
