The list of non-working holidays in the Russian Federation has not changed for several years. Accordingly, the dates of holidays and pre-holidays in 2017 will be the same as before.

In general, the duration of the pre-holiday working day according to the Labor Code is reduced by 1 hour (Article 95 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation). And if a holiday is immediately preceded by a day off, then the working hours on the previous working day are not reduced. In this regard, not all pre-holiday days in 2017 in Russia are short.

Shortened pre-holiday days in 2017

How many pre-holiday days will be shortened by an hour in 2017? Judging by the calendar, not much. Short pre-holiday days in 2017 are February 22 (Wednesday), March 7 (Tuesday) and November 3 (Friday). In our country, pre-holiday days with shortened working hours are marked with an asterisk.

The remaining 4 pre-holiday days in 2017 coincide with weekends.

Pre-holidays in 2017, taking into account the postponement of weekends

The general rule is that if a non-working holiday and a weekend coincide, the latter is transferred to the next working day. In 2017, this situation occurs on November 4: the date falls on a Saturday, so the usual day off will be November 6 - Monday.

But this rule does not apply to holidays from January 1 to January 8. Weekends that fall during this period are transferred to other working days of the calendar year (Article 112 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation). The procedure for postponing the corresponding days off is determined annually by the Government of the Russian Federation. In 2017 it is transferred (Resolution of the Government of the Russian Federation dated 04.08.2016 N 756):

• Sunday January 1st to Friday February 24th;
• Saturday 7 January to Monday 8 May.

Thanks to these transfers, the working population will rest for 4 days in a row on Defender of the Fatherland Day and another 4 days on Victory Day.

Please note that these transfers do not in any way affect the number of shortened pre-holiday days in 2017.

How we will work

So, how many working days are there in November 2017? This autumn month, citizens will work for 21 days: 1, 2, 3, 7, 8, 9, 10, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 27, 28, 29, thirty.

According to the calendar, the 3rd is a pre-holiday day. In this regard, the operating time will be reduced by one hour (Article 95 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation). The remaining working days in November 2017 will not be shortened.

What are the weekends in November 2017?

According to, we expect nine days off and holidays. Non-working days in November 2017 in Russia fall on the 4th, 5th, 6th, 11th, 12th, 18th, 19th, 25th, 26th.

Holidays

Many citizens are accustomed to long days of rest at the beginning of this month. But some of them have absolutely no idea why they were given them. So, how many holidays are there in November 2017 and what kind of holiday will we celebrate?

There is only one public holiday in Russia this month. It is called National Unity Day. It was established by the government of our country in 2004. And for the first time, Russians celebrated National Unity Day on November 4, 2005. It should be noted that the history of the memorable date began several centuries ago. It is connected with distant events of the early 17th century. In 1612, Moscow, the capital of our Motherland, was liberated from the Polish occupiers. 04.11. symbolizes the unity of the people, which made the defeat of the invaders possible. This year it will be celebrated for the 13th time. According to Art. 112 Labor Code of the Russian Federation, this is an official day off.

Let's consider how citizens will relax on holidays in November 2017 in Russia. Long weekend lasting 3 days falls from the 4th to the 6th:

• 4th, Saturday - National Unity Day. This is an official non-working holiday;
• 5th, Sunday - day of rest;
• 6th, Monday - day of rest, moved from 04.11.2017.

Most often, November 6 raises questions about whether it is a day off or a working day. Once again, we draw your attention to the fact that in 2017, November 6 is a non-standard day of rest, which was created by moving the weekend dates.

Standard working hours

Standard working hours:

• with a 40-hour work week - 167 hours;
• at 36 hours - 150.2 hours;
• at 24-hour - 99.8 hours.

Professional holidays

Also, some specialists celebrate their professional holidays this month. Of course, such days do not give workers the right to additional rest. But they can be celebrated with colleagues, in the work team. Here is a calendar of holidays in November 2017:

• 1 - Day of the Bailiff of the Russian Federation;
• 4 - Day of National Unity;
• 7 - Day of the October Revolution 1917. Also on the same date is the Day of Harmony and Reconciliation;
• 5 - Military Intelligence Day;
• 10 — Day of the Russian Department of Internal Affairs Officer;
• 13 — Day of the troops of radiation, chemical and bioprotection;
• 16 — All-Russian Designer Day. This is a professional holiday for specialists who create estimates, draw up drawings and diagrams for the construction of various objects;
• 17 — Day of local police commissioners. This is a professional holiday for Russian police officials. Their official activities are primarily aimed at protecting the rights of citizens living in the corresponding administrative area, as well as persons affected by the actions of criminals;
• 21 - Accountant's Day. This holiday is celebrated by all specialists whose activities are related to calculations and reporting;
• The 21st is Tax Authorities Day.

In addition to these holidays, International Mother's Day will be celebrated. It is not tied to a specific date and is celebrated on the last Sunday of the month. This year it is November 26, 2017. On this day it is customary to congratulate all mothers, as well as pregnant women. This is its main difference from International Women's Day, when all representatives of the fair sex accept congratulations.

The holiday itself, National Unity Day, which Russians celebrate annually on November 4, this year fell on a day off, Saturday. In this regard, almost all workers are expected to have a long weekend, because the Government moved the Saturday rest to Monday. But will November 3, 2017 be a shortened day after such postponements? Let's figure it out together.

Legislative norms Article 95 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation establishes the obligation of employers to shorten the working day if it is the last one before a holiday. The norms of this article apply to the production calendar for 2017, from which it follows that: The length of the working day or shift immediately preceding a non-working holiday is reduced by one hour.

In the same article, legislators define the concept of “pre-holiday days”.

These include dates that immediately precede the holiday. However, not all citizens have the opportunity to work an hour less on such a date. Those workers who work a five-day-a-week, 8-hour-a-day schedule will experience this benefit to the fullest. But employees who have an irregular work schedule, for example, when the enterprise operates in a continuous cycle or carry out activities in which reducing the duration of the shift on a pre-holiday day is impossible, will not be able to take advantage of this preference. Therefore, the employer must provide compensation for them and stipulate this possibility in the collective agreement. The choice of compensation method must be made by the employee himself. This could be: additional time for rest; payment according to the standards established by labor legislation for overtime work.

Since Friday November 3, 2017 immediately precedes the holiday non-working day of November 4, directly specified in Article 112 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation, it is recognized as a pre-holiday date. Therefore, it should be shorter by 1 hour for all employees of Russian organizations and entrepreneurs, with the exception of those who work on a special schedule. Along with it, shortened days occurred only three times in 2017: on February 22 - before the holiday, Defender of the Fatherland Day, which is celebrated on February 23; March 7 - before International Women's Day on March 8; November 3 - before National Unity Day on November 4. And this is the last shortened day in this calendar year. In all other cases, the days before the holidays coincided with regular official days off, and therefore did not affect the length of working hours. Duration of the working day on November 3 with a six-day working week If an organization operates on a six-day week, then its employees retain the right to a shortened working day. Therefore, the pre-holiday day of November 3 will also be shortened by one hour for them. However, the legislation does not provide for the opportunity to rest on Monday the 6th for such a schedule. After all, Article 112 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation states that the transfer of holidays is carried out only if a holiday falls on a weekend. During the six-day period, Saturday is not a day off. Less work on Friday. Some organizations have internal regulations that provide for a shorter working day on Fridays. Such an initiative by management is usually welcomed by employees, but has nothing to do with the norms of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation. The organization must prescribe a special mode of operation in an internal regulatory act (order or work schedule). At the same time, such working hours on Fridays should not affect wages in any way. By the way, employers also do not have the right to reduce wages for a legislative reduction of working hours by an hour. For a shortened day, all employees will have to pay for 8 hours worked: both those who receive a salary and those for whom hourly wages are established. You can always quickly find out about all weekends, holidays and shortened days from the production calendar in a special section of PPT.ru. The production calendar for 2018 will soon be published in this section. And the holidays and long weekends in 2017 end here.

How do we relax during the November holidays in 2017, how many days off will there be for National Unity Day, which is celebrated on November 4, and is the working day on November 3 shortened?

The production calendar for November 2017 has 22 working days, of which eight are weekends and holidays. Moreover, at the beginning of the month we will rest for three days in a row.

On November 4, Russia celebrates “National Unity Day”. It has been celebrated in our country since 2005. It was then that the public holiday from November 7 (Day of Accord and Reconciliation) was moved to November 4. This year the holiday fell on Saturday. Therefore, the day off from Saturday is transferred to Monday. Thus, for the November holidays, the holidays will be from November 4 to November 6 inclusive.

Moreover, according to the Labor Code, November 3 is a pre-holiday day shortened by an hour. The duration of work on this day should be reduced by an hour. This applies to the eight-hour chart.

With an irregular work schedule, if reducing the length of a shift on a pre-holiday day is impossible, the employer must compensate employees for overtime for that day.

At the end of this week, Russians will have three days off in a row: November 4, 5 and 6, and on Friday, November 3, there will be a shortened working day.

Deputy head of the Federal Service for Labor and Employment Ivan Shklovets said that the day off is being moved to Monday, November 6, since in 2017 National Unity Day falls on Saturday.

“At the same time, the length of the working day on Friday, November 3, is reduced by one hour,” RIA Novosti cites a statement from the press service of Rostrud.

This coming weekend will be the last long weekend of the year. After this, Russians will have a 10-day New Year holiday.

The history of the new holiday is connected with the victory of the people's militia led by Kuzma Minin and Dmitry Pozharsky, who on October 22 (November 1), 1612, stormed Kitay-Gorod and forced the Polish interventionists to sign capitulation. The holiday is also dedicated to the Day of the Kazan Icon of the Mother of God, which in 1612 was brought to Moscow liberated from the Poles by Dmitry Pozharsky.

Disputes over the relevance of the new holiday have not subsided for several years. It is no secret that many interpreted it, first of all, as an attempt to replace another holiday - November 7. However, over time, the controversy died down a bit.

Today, in a very difficult political situation, the unity of the people, joining forces to solve the problems that create for our state is very important. The existing threats are serious, both external in Ukraine and the Middle East, and internal. In addition, solving a number of economic and social problems also requires our unity.

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 the people’s militia, a self-organized movement. This is the only such case in Russian history.

The restoration of Russian statehood by the forces of the people, who, having expelled the Polish invaders, themselves chose a new government, and the derivation of the genealogy of modern Russia from November 4, 1612 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 Lyakho-Lithuanian yoke, in which there would be no place either for the greatness of the Russian Empire of the Romanov era, or 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 grandiose events are planned in Moscow and Nizhny Novgorod, where the militia of Minin and Pozharsky originated.

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

On National Unity Day, festive events of a patriotic nature, processions, celebrations, fairs, exhibitions and so on are held. 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 the unity of the Russian nation and the “We are United” concert.

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