It was also proposed to postpone the Saturday holiday on February 23 to May 10.

New holidays, as well as the abolition of the old in the new year is not expected. Nevertheless, it is worth noting that in comparison with 2018, in 2019, days off is expected to be 2 less. This is due to the smaller number of postponed holidays. The final accounting form will appear in the fourth quarter of 2018. In it you can find more accurate data on weekends and holidays.
You can often hear the opinion that there are too many holidays and weekends in Russia. And the paid leave provided to employees in accordance with the Labor Code is large - an average of 28 days. In addition, some categories of employees are entitled to increased vacation. Employees of the investigative committee can take 30 paid days, underage workers are entitled to 31 days. Most leave at the emergency services, it reaches 40 days. The final figure depends on the employee's experience. Despite this, Russia remains in the top five most working countries in the world. Big results in the previous year showed only South Korea, Greece, Costa Rica and Mexico. But the United States, Japan and Germany are not included in the top five. Unfortunately, this does not affect the productivity of labor, which, according to the “May” presidential decree, should grow by no less than 5% per year.
A predetermined schedule for weekends and holidays allows you to use time more efficiently and get maximum efficiency from work and study.
