    Convenient calendar with week numbers and printability

    State and folk holidays in Russia, Ukraine and Belarus

In our time, every country in the world compulsorily develops a special production calendar. At the same time, the data contained in it are approved by governments. It is this document that regulates their workers, it depends on where this or that person works, what kind of profession he has and

What is a production calendar for?

This document is really necessary and important. Without it, the work of all kinds of financiers and accountants is simply impossible. It is the production calendar that helps them to predict and systematize the budget allocated for the wages of employees of a particular enterprise. Of course, the information contained in this document will be useful to the employees themselves. The calendar takes into account absolutely all weekends and holidays. This information will help you plan your personal time.

How is this document compiled

Thus, the production calendar is the most reliable and accurate source for information on such issues as holidays, weekends and weekdays. How many there will be depends not only on the place of work of the person. In each specific year, their number may vary. This is due primarily to the fact that they often fall on weekends. The difference is small, but it is still there. For example, in 2012 we worked 250 days, and in 2013 - 247. The number is also influenced by whether it is a leap year or a regular one. Thus, the calendar allows the employee to always be informed about all non-working holidays. This useful document is produced annually. Only the Government of the Russian Federation has the right to amend it. Therefore, it is worth not only familiarizing yourself with the calendar, but also following the relevant decrees.

What laws govern the compilation of the calendar

How many working days will be reflected in this document and how many holidays - information that is in direct proportion to the standards specified in the Labor Code of the Russian Federation. So, according to article 112 (part 2), if a holiday coincides with a weekend, the latter is transferred to a working day (first) after the holiday. That is, for example, if March 8 falls on Sunday, the rest is laid on Monday. In addition, according to the same article preceding the holiday by one hour.

According to the changes made to this article of the code on 23/04/12, the government is granted the right to transfer two days off of the New Year holidays to any working days in the year (current). For example, such a decision was made in 2013. January weekend supplemented non-working days by

There is also part five of Article 112, according to which the weekend can be postponed by the Government of the Russian Federation (by special decree). Such a law allows employees in certain situations to use their personal time much more efficiently.

For example, if the holidays fall on Sunday and Monday, the day off may be postponed not to Tuesday, but to Friday.

Also, when drawing up the production calendar, Article 110 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation is taken into account, according to which the number of hours of rest (continuous) should not be less than 42.

2014 Calendar

The number of working days per year, as the reader has already understood, is directly dependent on the Government of the Russian Federation, which compiles the production calendar. What made us happy in 2014? So, according to this document, holidays, which means non-working days this year will be the following:

  • 1 - 6 and 8 January - New Year;
  • 7/01 - Nativity of Christ;
  • 23/02 - Defender of the Fatherland Day;
  • 8/03 - 8 March;
  • 1/05 - Spring Festival;
  • 9/05 - Victory Day over Nazi Germany;
  • 12/06 - Day of Russia;
  • 4/11 - Day of Unity.

Thus, this year we rested for 8 days for the New Year. There will be 3 non-working days on March 8 (from 8 to 10). In May, we rest for 4 days (1 - 4) for the spring holiday and for Victory Day - 3 days (9 - 11). And four more free days await us in November (from 1 to 4). If you make simple calculations, it turns out that the number of working days this year will be 247, as in 2013. The number of working days reduced by one hour is 6. There will be 118 non-working days, including all weekends. Of course, all these calculations correspond to a five-day working day.

Working hours

Of course, it is worth knowing not only how many holidays the employees are entitled to in each specific year, but also how many hours he can work in a certain period of time (maximum). Such issues are regulated by Article 91 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation. For example, the number of working hours per week cannot exceed forty. Moreover, each employer (regardless of the legal form of the enterprise) must necessarily take into account the actual time worked by each employee.

Who is entitled to the reduced number of hours

Working days of the week may be shortened for certain citizens. Of course, everyone should know about this as well.

  1. For workers under 16, the number of hours worked per week should be reduced by 10.
  2. Over 16, but under 18 - by 4 hours.
  3. People with disabilities will have to work 5 hours less.
  4. In areas of production with harmful working conditions, the working week should be reduced by 4 hours (or more).
  5. For workers in chemical industries listed in the law, a 36-24 hour week may be established.
  6. Less time will have to work and pregnant women in

Thus, no one should work more than 40 hours, regardless of whether the enterprise has a five-day or six-day week.

Five- and six-day week

The length of each working day is determined primarily by the internal regulations of a particular company. Of course, the law also regulates this issue. According to the standards, working days in Russia are five days from Monday to Friday inclusive. However, this condition is not considered mandatory in all cases. According to the law, the employer, based on the specifics of production, can establish a six-day week. Thus, in some enterprises, employees work extra on Saturday or Sunday. However, the statutory maximum number of hours per week is respected in any case.

What counts during working hours

Of course, the legislation regulates this issue as well. Working time - the hours during which the employee performs his duties in accordance with the employment contract. This mode is one of the essential conditions of this document, which can be drawn up only taking into account the standards of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation. Based on this, all working days in the year can be determined. How many of them will depend, therefore, on the terms of the employment contract, the standards of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation and government decrees.

A number of other points are also taken into account by law during working hours.

  • Heating breaks during cold weather (for those who work outdoors).
  • Downtime hours.
  • For women with babies, the time spent feeding.
  • Meal breaks (in the event that the person cannot leave their

Thus, we have answered the main question of the article: "Working days in a year - how many are there, and how to define it?" In 2014 there will be 247. No one should work more than 40 hours a week, regardless of whether it is a five-day or six-day, and working time is a concept regulated by an employment contract drawn up in accordance with the Labor Code of the Russian Federation. As for the holidays, the Government can postpone the weekend that coincided with them to any day of the year at its discretion.


Everyone who works in a formal enterprise should be aware of the exact number of working days for any given period of time. This will help you correctly calculate your days off and not fall for the bait of careless bosses who want to make money on you. You will learn about all this and even more by reading the article.

Back in Soviet times, people had a working week of six days. Accordingly, the vacation was calculated taking into account the average monthly working days - 25.4. And the working days were calculated as follows: all holidays and Sundays were subtracted from 365 days, and then this number was divided by 12. But there were also leap years. For the accuracy of the calculations, we took these years into account and calculated the average over several years.

Today, the law establishes a working week that lasts five days and no more than 40 working hours per week. calendar days is equal to 29.3. From this, you can calculate the average annual number of calendar days:

the average number of working days in a month is multiplied by the number of months (29.3 * 12 \u003d 361.6).

This number should be taken into account when calculating the payment of vacation days and.

Average number of working days per month for calculating vacation pay

We present to your attention the current calculation of vacation pay:

Amount of vacation pay \u003d Average earnings per day * Number of vacation days

The amount of vacation pay also depends on the increase or decrease in the rate.

Vacation days are usually counted on calendar days. In total, the employee is credited with 28 days. Moreover, the employee does not have to leave at once for the entire period, but can walk him out in parts throughout the year.

Employees who have not reached the age of majority must have 31 days of leave, and people with disabilities 30 days.

Example and procedure for calculating vacation pay

- this is essentially the same salary, only it is calculated for the time when you do not go to work.

According to article 74 of the Labor Code, workers have at their disposal every year a paid vacation. It is given with the preservation of salary and position. For the duration of the vacation, you are required to calculate vacation pay, their size is approximately equal to the salary for the same time. They are easy to calculate. Even for a person who does not understand anything in accounting, there is a completely simple formula: vacation pay \u003d the amount of payments for the reporting period is divided by the number of days, and multiplied by the number of days of the vacation period.

That is, the amount of vacation payments depends on the average daily earnings during the previous period. To do this, you need to calculate the total size for the working year, and then divide it by the number of days. For this purpose, we subtract non-working days from the number of calendar days for a certain period. This is how we calculate the average daily salary. To find out the amount of vacation pay, we multiply the resulting number by the number of days in the calendar for the vacation period.

Examples of solving problems for calculating the amount of vacation pay

Problem number 1

Given: The employee was hired on 02.02.2015. For the period from April 2015 to March 2016, he received 182,430 rubles. From April 17, 2016, he takes the prescribed main leave of 28 calendar days. That is, his vacation will last from April 17 to May 16, 2016 inclusive.

Question: How many vacation pay will be counted?

Explanation: The attentive reader will notice that this is 30 days. That's right, it's just that May 1 and 9 are days off, and May 1 in 2016 fell on Sunday, so the day off was postponed to Monday. And those 2 extra weekends added to the vacation. But this fact does not affect the payment. If the main vacation is given for 28 days, then 28 days are paid, in spite of the extra non-working days.

  1. 182430: 29.3: 12 \u003d 518.85 (rubles) - the size of the average daily payments
  2. 518.85 x 28 \u003d 14528 (rub.)

Question: What amount of vacation pay will the employee receive?

Explanation: The billing period is from August 2014 to April 2015, that is, an incomplete year - 9 months. August is included as a full month, despite the fact that the employee was hired on the 3rd day - since August 1 and 2 were days off.

  1. 273 - 5 \u003d 268 (calendar days)
  2. 84,000: 268 \u003d 313.43 (rubles) average daily salary
  3. 313.43 x 24 \u003d 7522.39 (rub.) Size of vacation pay

Answer: The employee will receive 7,522.39 rubles. in 24 days.

Question: What will be the amount of paid vacation pay?

Explanation: Since for the previous calendar year she did not receive any payments through no fault of her own, the tariff scale, or the official salary, the size of which is relevant on the day of going on vacation, is included in the calculations.

  1. 15350 х 12 \u003d 184,200 (RUB) the amount of estimated payments for 12 months
  2. 184200: 29.3: 12 \u003d 523.90 (rub.) Hypothetical average daily earnings
  3. 523.90 x 28 \u003d 14668 (rub.)

Answer: The employee will receive 14668 rubles. vacation pay.

Special conditions for calculating payments

Working hours

It often happens that holidays and weekends coincide. Then the day off is postponed. Business days start after a holiday or non-business day.

The pre-holiday working day must end one hour before its official end. This applies to all types of workweeks.

The maximum, according to the law, working time is no more than 40 hours per week.

Different enterprises can themselves determine how many hours and days the work week will be. If the work week is less than the statutory work week, employees should still be paid the full rate.

Reduction of working hours is established in the case of:

  • If the company employs an employee with incomplete legal capacity. In this case, he is assigned 36 hours a week.
  • If an employee is between fourteen and 15 years old and works during vacations, then he must work no more than 24 hours a week. If a teenager works part-time in his free time from school, then the number of hours should not be more than half of the above figure, that is, 18 hours for a teenager, 12 hours for a 14-15 year old.
  • If an employee works in a company that is harmful to health, the maximum number of hours should not exceed 36.
  • Also separate categories of workers have working hours. Such as teachers, doctors, etc.
  • Entrepreneurs can reduce working hours at the expense of the enterprise for women with disabled children or small children under the age of 14.

Businesses have the right to address issues of reduced hours of work or other benefits.

Days off and holidays in 2018 approved by the Government

In accordance with Part 1 of Art. 112 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation, non-working holidays in the Russian Federation are:

  • January 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 8 - New Year's holidays;
  • January 7 - Nativity of Christ;
  • 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 - National Unity Day.

According to the second part of Part 1 of Art. 112 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation, if the weekend and non-working holidays coincide, the day off is transferred to the next working day after the holiday, with the exception of weekends that coincide with non-working holidays from January 1 to 8.

In 2018, the non-working holiday of November 4 coincides with the day off (Sunday). Consequently, this day off is carried over to the next working day after the holiday: to Monday, November 5. Weekends (January 6 and 7), coinciding with non-working holidays from January 1 to January 8, are not automatically transferred to the next working day after the holiday. The Russian government can only endure two such days off.

For the purpose of rational use of weekends and non-working holidays by employees, weekends can be postponed to other days by federal law or a regulatory legal act of the Government of the Russian Federation (part 5 of article 112 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation). Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation of October 14, 2017 No. 1250 "On the transfer of days off in 2018" provides for the transfer of days off:

  • from Saturday 6 January to Friday 9 March;
  • from Sunday 7 January to Wednesday 2 May;
  • from Saturday 28 April to Monday 30 April;
  • from Saturday 9 June to Monday 11 June;
  • from Saturday 29 December to Monday 31 December.

It should be noted that the duration of work on Saturday, April 28, June 9 and December 29 is reduced by one hour, since according to clause 1 of the Procedure, in cases where, in accordance with the decision of the Government of the Russian Federation, the day off is transferred to a working day, the duration of work on that day ( former day off) must correspond to the length of the working day to which the day off was transferred.

Pre-holiday days in 2018 are February 22, March 7, April 28, May 8, June 9 and December 29 (the duration of work on these days should be reduced by 1 hour).
