The production calendar for 2017 shows the standard working hours for months, quarters and 2017 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 of the 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 2017, weekends are postponed:
- from Saturday 4 November to Monday 6 November.
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 August 4, 2016 No. 756 provides for the transfer of days off:
- from Sunday January 1 for Friday 24 February;
- from Saturday 7 January to Monday 8 May.
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.
The length of the working day or shift immediately preceding a non-working holiday is reduced by one hour. In 2017, such pre-holiday working days are:
- February 22;
- March 7;
- 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 2017 with a five-day work 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 2017, 247 working days, including 3 working days reduced by one hour. Calculation of standard working hours for 2017 with a five-day working week with two days off:
- with a 40-hour work week:
(8 hours x 247 days - 3 hours) = 1973 hours; - with a 36-hour work week:
(7.2 hours x 247 days - 3 hours) = 1775.4 hours; - with a 24-hour work week:
(4.8 hours x 247 days - 3 hours) = 1182.6 hours.
It would seem that just recently we celebrated the New Year, and May is already knocking on the window. This warm spring month is loved by many citizens. After all, in May people have a chance not only to get closer to spring, but also to relax for the May holidays.
Trips to the dacha, to the river and other traditional events are particularly popular year after year. We all love to relax, but it is especially pleasant to do it under the bright rays of the sun, which become warmer and more gentle just in May.
The two most important holidays in the last month of spring are May 1 (Labor Day) And May 9 (Victory Day). Russians are accustomed to celebrating these celebrations on a grand scale: stages are set up in large squares, various musical groups play, competitions are organized, and volleys of fireworks are released into the sky.
In order to have a good time during the May holidays, you should know what days the weekend falls on. There is a special one that will help us figure out how many days in a month the government has allocated for festivities.
Despite the popular saying that people suffer in May, there will be no reason for boredom and suffering in 2017. The fact is that this spring month brings 2 of the people's most beloved holidays - Victory Day and Spring and Labor Day (International Workers' Day).
It is noteworthy that in the year of the Fire Rooster the country will celebrate the 72nd anniversary of the Victory over the fascist invaders in the Great Patriotic War.
At the moment, the final production calendar for 2017 has not yet been approved by the government, but if you follow the logic, you can guess what postponements will occur.
1st of May falls on Monday, so citizens will have three days to rest: April 29, April 30 and May 1, respectively.
Thus, Russians will rest during the May holidays in the following order:
- from April 29 to May 1
- from May 6 to May 9 (since Monday will be a day off due to May 7, which fell on Saturday)
If this option is approved, then citizens of the country will work 20 working days in May and go on 11 days off, including 2 days of holidays.
According to this chart, you can calculate the number of working hours:
- if a 40-hour work week is practiced - 160 hours
- if a 36 hour work week is practiced - 144 hours
- if a 24-hour week is practiced - 96 hours.
Production calendar for May 2017
After all the calculations, you can sum up the results and present a complete list of weekends and working days in May.
Full working days - 2, 3, 4, 5, 10, 11, 12, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 29, 30, 31

May 1 - Spring and Labor Day
This celebration takes place in many countries around the world. Initially, the holiday was called the Day of Solidarity of All Workers. For many of us, May Day has become a symbol of irreconcilable class struggle and revolution.
To date, in 142 countries people continue to celebrate Spring and Labor Day. On this day there are mass celebrations, performances by popular artists, competitions, fairs and much more. May 1 is an official day off, during which people try to relax, have fun and relax.
May 9 - Victory Day
The war came suddenly to all the homes of the citizens of the Union. No one prepared for it, no one expected that trouble would affect every human soul. The Great Patriotic War began in 1941 and ended in 1945. Many innocent soldiers died, it’s even hard to imagine the final number.
The official date of Victory is May 9. This date is celebrated annually by many countries of the post-Soviet space. Unfortunately, there are few eyewitnesses left of those sad events, and even fewer soldiers who fought.
Therefore, the government of the country and the administration of individual cities are trying in every possible way to encourage and please them. On the holiday, veterans are given gifts, flowers and cards.
Other May holidays
May does not end on two solemn dates. Of course, other holidays are less significant than May 1 and May 9, but this does not mean that people do not celebrate them.
- May 3 - World Print Day;
- May 5 - International Day for the Rights of Persons with Disabilities;
- May 5 - International Day of the Midwife;
- May 7 - Radio Day;
- May 7 - Day of the creation of the Russian Armed Forces;
- May 8 - Mother's Day;
- May 12 is World Nurses Day;
- May 21—Russian Polar Explorer Day;
- May 28 - Border Guard Day;
- May 31 - World No Tobacco Day;
We hope this article will help people carefully plan their May mini-vacation to make it fun and memorable.
It is no secret that most workers try to make the most of the first and second May holidays. But you need to prepare for this in advance. In this consultation, we analyze in detail how we rest in May 2018: how many calendar days have been declared official holidays and which Russian Government has approved the transfer of rest days.
Long awaited days
Usually, New Year's holidays and weekends fly by quite quickly, which allow millions of workers to have a wonderful rest. In addition, the combination of weekends and holidays promotes spending time with family and loved ones. In addition, even a minimum number of consecutive days of rest does not exclude unforgettable travel and atmosphere.
Such a wise government decision as postponing weekends and providing the population with adequate rest, taking into account holidays, is repeated more than once every year. Thus, a well-thought-out schedule of missing working days allows you to create additional rest for almost everyone at certain periods of the year.
This year's celebration will be no exception:
- World Labor Day – May 1;
- Great Victory Day - May 9.
Victory Day still makes people understand and remember at what cost it was received by the older generations of their family and country.
At the same time, on May 1, many go to the dacha, to their country cottage, to prepare everything for planting a new crop and/or summer vacation. Therefore, it is very important for everyone to understand how we relax on official weekends during the May holidays in 2018.
Weekend calendar in May 2018
For 2018, there is a production calendar that takes into account all official working days, weekends and holidays. It was based on the Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation dated October 14, 2017 No. 1250, which defined the transfer of weekends.
May 1 – Labor and Spring Day
This holiday almost always allows you to be outside the city and spend more time with friends and family. Many Russians go to their summer cottages to prepare them for planting the future crop and generally spending the summer. And for many, this is an opportunity to simply be in nature, which already delights with its warmth and notes of summer.
It is worth noting that today about 142 countries around the world celebrate this holiday in order to emphasize the importance of every worker and working person. In many cities of Russia on this day, trade unions and large organizations bring their representatives to rallies and marches as a sign of solidarity.
Great Victory Day – May 9
For more than 70 years, Russia and the whole world have been marking the events of the end of World War II, where a serious threat to all humanity was defeated - Nazi Germany and other countries that carried its ideology were destroyed. On this day, military parades and colorful processions of military equipment are held, emphasizing the importance of maintaining peace and stability throughout the planet.
The Russian production calendar for 2017 contains information about how many working days there are in the year, how Russians rest, how many days the New Year holidays and May holidays last, as well as the transfer of weekends and non-working holidays. It provides working time standards for months, quarters, half-years and for the whole year for a 40-, 36- and 24-hour five-day working week.

How to relax in May is a question that is relevant every spring. This time too, the Government took care of postponing the holidays so that Russians would have more time to rest. This year we will rest in May, as always, more than in other months.
This year, employees can take three days off between the May holidays and have a full 11 days off. But new features and restrictions have appeared. UNP experts said:
Weekend in May 2020
This year, the transfer of rest days was approved by a government decree (the document is still in draft form). As many as three winter weekends have been moved to May:
- January 4 - May 4;
- January 5 - May 5.
So, in May there are two holidays waiting for us - May 1 - Spring and Labor Day, the second - May 9 - Victory Day. In this regard, we will rest like this:
- The first period is from May 1 to May 5 (5 days);
- The second period is from May 9 to 11 (3 days).
May 1 – Labor Day, or Spring and Labor Day. According to Article 112 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation, it is considered a non-working holiday. Next, May 2 and 3 are Saturday and Sunday weekends, May 4 and May 5 are weekends postponed from January. April 30 is a shortened pre-holiday working day - shortened by one hour.
May 9 is the second holiday in May - Victory Day. May 10 - Sunday. And on the 11th we rest for the 9th, which falls on Saturday. Therefore, we will rest for three days in a row - from May 9 to May 11 inclusive.
How to book holidays in May 2020
Between holidays and after holidays there are working days. In total, according to the production calendar of the 20th year, in May:
- 31 - calendar day;
- 17 - working days;
- 14 - weekends and holidays.
Working hours in May:
- with a 40-hour work week - 135 hours;
- at 36 hours - 121.4 hours;
- at 24 hours - 80.6 hours.
But there are three working days between the holidays in May 2020, during which many people prefer to rest. You can arrange and pay for this time in different ways. We will tell you about possible payment methods and features (see table).
| Way | Features of registration and payment |
|---|---|
| Another vacation |
If the vacation is on schedule, the employee only needs to be notified of the start of the vacation two weeks in advance and an appropriate order is issued. If not on schedule, the employee must write a statement. The amount of vacation pay will depend on the number of vacation days. You can take a vacation for six days, including weekends - this way there will be no loss in salary. |
| Unpaid leave |
An employee can take unpaid leave for the May holidays. To do this, you need an application indicating the start date of the vacation and the number of days of rest. In this case, vacation pay is not paid. And the salary is calculated for the days worked in May. |
| Time off | Employees who previously worked overtime can take time off on May weekends and holidays (Article 153 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation). An application with dates is required. PTO days reduce working hours in May. If the employee works the remaining days, he will receive full salary |
| Downtime at the initiative of the employer | Between holidays in May, the company may declare downtime for specific employees, departments, or all personnel. To do this, an order is issued that all employees must familiarize themselves with. If the employer is to blame for the downtime, at least 2/3 of the average salary is paid. If the downtime does not depend on the company and employees, then 2/3 of the salary (Article 157 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation). |
| Weekends in the organization | The company may declare public holidays in May as days off. Employees must be notified of the decision in a separate order. You can pay for these days according to average earnings or set a reduced standard of working hours for May. That is, instead of 143 hours, write down 119 hours (143 hours – 8 hours × 3 days). Then employees are entitled to a full salary for May if they work 119 hours. Additional days off are not paid in this case. |
