How we work and rest in May. Holidays in May. May - Labor Day and Spring

May holidays are coming. Many people spend these warm spring days in nature, going with their whole families to summer cottages or to the forest for barbecue. Will schoolchildren have a rest for the May holidays of 2020?

Of course, it would be unfair to arrange holidays for adults and deprive children of the opportunity to spend time with them. So "extra" days off, in addition to "legitimate" Sundays, expect students this month.

How do they rest in schools for the May holidays of 2020?

Let's talk about this in more detail. All students who attend their schools Monday through Friday, as well as adults who work a five-day work week, will have two long holidays this month: five days from May 1 to May 5 on the Spring and Labor Day and three days from May 9 May 11 on Victory Day.

For those schoolchildren and students who study six days a week, as well as employees of organizations working on a six-day working week, Saturday May 2 and Monday May 4, on which, during the five-day period, the day off from New Year's holiday Saturday January 4 will not be days off .

How exactly will schoolchildren rest for the May holidays in 2020? On May Day, the long weekend will last five days. May 1 is a Friday, preceded by four and followed by three working days. The day before the holiday, April 30, will be a shortened working day.

May 9th Victory Day falls on a Saturday this year. It is preceded by a shortened working day, Friday 8 May. The Victory Day is followed by Sunday May 10, and Monday May 11 will be a day off for those who work on a five-day schedule by moving the day off from the holiday Saturday May 9.

How exactly will they relax on the May holidays of 2020 in schools? It turns out that in schools where six-day study weeks are established, students will rest on May 1, then on Sunday, May 3, then on Tuesday, May 5, and after that, Saturday and Sunday, May 9 and 10, if the administration does not establish additional weekend.

If the school works on a five-day week, then the weekend for students will last five days from May 1 to 5, and then another three days from May 9 to 11.

How they study in schools for the May holidays in 2020

Before the May Day weekend, students are waiting for four school days from April 27 to 30. After the May Day weekend, the guys will have three more school days from May 6 to 8 for a five-day week or five school days, interspersed with weekends for a six-day week (May 2, 4 and from May 6 to 8).

Then, after the Victory Day weekend, schoolchildren will have 4 (or 5 for a six-day) school day until the end of the week.

Now you know how many days schoolchildren will have a rest for the May holidays of 2020, and you can plan how to spend this time.

How will the May holidays of 2020 be celebrated in schools?

In May we celebrate May Day (Spring and Labor Day) and Victory Day. These days, many festive events are held in schools: solemn assembly, class hours, theatrical performances, amateur concerts, various exhibitions, competitions, trips to nature, etc.

The Russian calendar is very rich in various festive events, but there are only a couple of months that are among the richest for holidays - this is January and, of course, May.

After the holiday, many Russians are waiting for the start of the May holidays, because they are the ones who open everyone's favorite natural season of May Days and trips out of town. In addition, in May, not one holiday is celebrated, but two whole holidays that the Russian people like so much and that they are proud of - the Holiday of Spring and Labor and Victory Day. From the current article, you will learn how weekends will be planned for the May holidays of 2018 in Russia and what will be the postponement of the weekend in may which will help you organize your vacation correctly and rationally.

Weekend calendar for may holidays 2018

To summarize: in May 2018, in Russia, the following May holidays await us: from April 29 to May 2 inclusive (4 days) and May 9. This is not as small as it might seem. Well, those lucky ones who manage to take a few more vacation days for this period can get a real full-fledged vacation, in which it would be great to go somewhere on a trip, to nature or to visit friends or acquaintances.

Briefly about the May holidays

Spring and Labour Day
Ever since Soviet times, May has become a symbol of the onset of not only a particularly warm and joyful time of the year, but also a new labor period. No wonder the first holiday that opens this month is called the Holiday of Spring and Labor. Earlier on this day (May 1), they went to demonstrations, which showed their attitude to work and honest work. In addition, it was on these days that the first trips to nature were carried out, which were called Mayovki.

Victory Day
This holiday is special in our country. He combines not only the joy of victory in the Great Patriotic War, but also pride in the nation, patriotism and faith in a bright future, due to the power and inviolability of his native state. Victory Day is celebrated in Russia every year with special awe and love.

Holidays and days off in May 2019 in Russia are approved in the amount of 13 days. Among them are 2 public holidays. This is the "Feast of Spring and Labor" (May 1) and "Victory Day" (May 9).

How we relax in May, taking into account holidays and weekends

May Day five days

Weekends in May 2019 will start from the mark "May 1, Wednesday" and will last for five whole days - until Monday, May 6. Such generosity is explained by the transfer of holidays from other months of the year. This practice has been used in our country for more than a year to form a more convenient production calendar.

Let's analyze the structure of the non-working May Day five-day period:

• May 2, 3, Thursday-Friday - transfer of days off from January 5 and 6 (when the New Year holidays were layered on the already non-working days of the week Saturday and Sunday);
• May 4.5, Saturday-Sunday - traditional days off.

Note that this is only true for those employees who work on a five-day work week - from Monday to Friday with two subsequent days of rest weekly.

For six-day workers - people with an official working Saturday, the answer to the question of how we relax on the May holidays in 2019 is not so optimistic. Such employees get a whole “fence” of working and non-working days in early May:

• May 1, Wednesday – public holiday;
• May 3, Friday - postponement of the day off from January 6;
• May 5, Sunday is a traditional day off.

Thursday and Saturday in this case are working days. Six-day workers in early May work like this: day off-working day-off-working day off. Then a new work week begins.

Winning repetition

The second period of the May holidays this year will be a little less than the first - four days from May 9 to 12. Their structure is similar:

• May 10, Friday - postponement of the day off from February 23;
• May 11, 12, Saturday-Sunday - traditional days off.

Let's make an amendment again - this data is relevant for those who work on a five-day week. The official six-day work week makes the following adjustments:

• May 9, Thursday – public holiday;
• May 12, Sunday is a traditional day off.

Friday and Saturday May 10-11 in this case will have to work. The transfer of the day from February 23 is not relevant, since it falls on Saturday - a working day. The only bonus for such employees is that in February they had one non-working day (February 23) more than usual. While the five-day workers had the usual number of days off in the second month of winter.

Hourly bonuses

No matter how many working days your week is according to your employment contract, everyone is covered by the standard of a reduced working day preceding a public holiday. And this means that you can safely subtract 60 minutes from your working time on April 30 and May 8. At this hour, you can legally leave work and start preparing for the weekend or collecting things for a trip. Some will go on vacation that evening.

Having figured out in advance how we rest in May in 2019, you can plan the May holidays to your taste.

It's no secret that most employees 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 are declared official days off and which Government of the Russian Federation approved the transfer of rest days.

Long awaited days

Usually, the New Year holidays and weekends fly by quite quickly, which allow millions of employees to have a great rest. In addition, the combination of weekends and holidays contributes to spending time with family and loved ones. In addition, even the minimum number of consecutive days of rest does not exclude unforgettable travel and atmosphere.

Such a wise state decision, as the transfer of days off and the creation of a good rest for the population, taking into account the holidays, is repeated more than once during each year. So, a well-thought-out schedule of falling working days allows you to create additional rest for almost everyone for certain periods of the year.

This year's celebration will not be an exception:

• World Labor Day - May 1;
• Day of the Great Victory - May 9.

Victory Day still makes people understand and remember at what price it was received by the older generations of their kind, country.

At the same time, on May 1, many people go to the country, 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 rest on the official weekend during the May holidays in 2018.

Weekend calendar in May 2018

For 2018, there is a production calendar, which takes into account all official working days, weekends and holidays. Its basis was the Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation of October 14, 2017 No. 1250, which defines the postponement of days off.

May 1 - Labor Day and Spring

This holiday almost always allows you to be outside the city and spend more time with friends and relatives. Many Russians go to summer cottages to prepare them for planting the next crop and spending the summer in general. And for many, this is an opportunity to simply be in nature, which already pleases with its warmth and notes of summer.

It is worth noting that today about 142 countries of the world celebrate this holiday in order to emphasize the importance of every working 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 now, Russia and the whole world have been celebrating the events of the end of World War II, where a serious threat to all mankind was defeated - Nazi Germany and other countries bearing its ideology were destroyed. On this day, military parades and bright processions of military equipment are held, emphasizing the importance of maintaining peace and stability throughout the planet.

Russian people are very fond of relaxing, as they also work a lot. We want to please you with the fact that in May from the first to the twelfth, only three days from the sixth to the eighth of May will be working days. Agree that this is great news?

Vostretsov recommended that employers who hope to persuade their employees to work on holidays pay double the wages of such workers.
