Weekends in December and public holidays. Weekend. Explanations on working hours

Our people love this spring month, as really warm days are coming and you can finally relax with the whole family in nature. I wonder what the weekend for the May holidays in 2018 will be like?

Production calendar

Getting acquainted with the calendar of 2018, you can see that the holidays: the first and ninth of May fall in the middle of the week:

  • 05/01/18 is Tuesday;
  • 05/09/18 - Wednesday.

In such a situation, it is hardly possible to count on a long weekend in May. So far, it is known that the Ministry of Labor proposed to postpone the day off 01/07/18 - Sunday to 05/02/18, and to make Saturday 04/28/18 a day off to make 04/30/18 - Monday a day off. Thus, the following picture can be obtained:

  • 04/29/18 - Sunday - day off:
  • 04/30/18 - Monday - day off;
  • 05/01/18 - official holiday;
  • 05/02/18 - day off due to the transfer of Sunday 01/07/18.

That is, you can get four continuous days off. In addition, there will be another official holiday - May 9th. There are no options here - we rest for one day, and 05/08/18, as expected, will be reduced by one hour.

Of course, this is not 7-8 continuous days off, as it used to be, but still not bad. If this is officially approved by the Government of the Russian Federation, we get:

Thus, the Russians in May 2018 will rest for a third of the month, and this is very good, given that the weather will be wonderful.

Main holidays of May

May Day today is completely different from the one that was under the Soviet Union. In the country of the Soviets on this day, grandiose demonstrations took place in solidarity with the working people of the whole world fighting for their rights. At present, the holiday has lost its political overtones and has become the Holiday of Spring and Labor. On this day, all those who contribute to the prosperity of our state are honored. These are ordinary workers, employees of various organizations and rural workers. Everyone can rightfully classify themselves in this category, which means that May 1 is a holiday for all of us, without exception, it is not surprising that everyone is waiting for it every year.

The second official holiday in our country is May 9th. This will be the seventy-third anniversary of our victory over Nazi Germany. On this day, the Russians will remember all those who defended our Motherland many years ago and to whom we are indebted for our peaceful sky. As before, official celebrations will take place in the capital of our Motherland - Moscow, as well as in all settlements of our vast Motherland. Indeed, in our country there is not a single family where someone would not suffer from this greatest grief of the last century. Everyone, young and old, will come to the monuments of Soviet soldiers and lay flowers.

The military parade on Red Square will be especially impressive. On it we will see those. who is now protecting our peaceful life, as well as the latest military equipment, which has no equal in the world. Without a doubt, the already well-known action "Immortal Regiment" will take place. And in the evening we will all witness a grandiose salute in honor of the victory of our country in the Great Patriotic War. Similar events will be held in all major cities of Russia, as well as in hero cities.

How do we rest other days

In recent years, Russians have developed a tradition to open the season of outdoor recreation on the May holidays. Indeed, in a large part of the territory of Russia, stable heat is already being established, trees and flowers are blooming, and all the air is literally filled with a magical aroma. It is no coincidence that most Russians rush to their favorite vacation spots:

  • to the cottage;
  • to the village to relatives;
  • on a picnic in the forest or to the nearest body of water.

Among the entertainments, the most popular are cooking field porridge or shish kebabs on a fire. Outdoor enthusiasts open the beach football or volleyball season. Tourists of all stripes arrange evening singing with a guitar. In general, all holidays are held under the slogan of communication with nature.

There are Russians who prefer these days to go to the southern seas. They use every free minute to enjoy the warm sun of exotic countries and splash in the warm emerald sea.

Among our citizens there are those who do not miss the moment to get acquainted with new historical monuments. It is no coincidence that tours to Europe are so popular during the May holidays, where each city presents an open-air museum. Our domestic historical sites have recently begun to enjoy no less popularity. What is worth only a trip along the Golden Ring of Russia.

The weekend schedule for the New Year holidays of 2018 is not very different from previous years. As usual, workers are given a whole week of vacation.
Project No. 1250 on the transfer of weekends and holidays in Russia has already been published:

10/14/17 Dmitry Medvedev approved

Calendar of weekends and holidays in January 2018

Anticipation of the holiday will help not to be sad in the first working week of the new year. The Old New Year is respected in many families and not only Russian ones. Moreover, in 2018 it is celebrated on the night from Saturday to Sunday, so the fact that this holiday is not a nationwide day off will not hurt to celebrate it well.
According to tradition, on a generous evening (this is what this holiday is called in Ukraine and Belarus), it is customary to cook porridge from whole grains of wheat, bake pancakes and pies, and cook pork dishes, as St. Basil the Great, whose memory is honored on January 14, was the patron saint of pig breeders. Gardeners this night shake off the snow from the apple branches. This ritual is said to ensure a good harvest.

Holidays in January 2018 are not limited to Christmas and New Year holidays, this month has enough interesting dates and memorable days, but none of them is a day off.

The moon makes its usual circle, regardless of weekends and weekdays, vacations and holidays. In January, she will be especially supportive of us on 4, 17 and 25.

What is the reason for the conflict between Mikhail Koklyaev and Alexander Emelianenko:

Relationship between Russian MMA fighter Alexander Emelianenko and weightlifter Mikhail Koklyaev heated up in March 2019, after "Misha" posted a video in which he commented on Alexander's conflict with another MMA fighter - Sergey Kharitonov.

Koklyaev joked about "stupid jocks and fighters", summarizing that "...Now it's not only jocks who are dumb."

In a response video, Emelianenko suggested that Mikhail “be more careful,” as he could soon come to visit him at the gym.

The exchange of courtesies continued on the fighters' Instagram accounts, where they made notches on the bench press, stuffed a heavy ball, and fired from a broom.

In the end, everything ended with an agreement to resolve the dispute with the help of fists.

That is, the cause of the conflict is a joke by Mikhail Koklyaev.

When will the fight between Mikhail Koklyaev and Alexander Emelianenko take place (date and time):

"The most anticipated fight of 2019" between Mikhail Koklyaev and Alexander Emelianenko will take place on Friday 29 November 2019.

The fight will take place in the VTB Arena Park ring, a small indoor arena that can accommodate up to 13,000 spectators during mixed martial arts.

According to what rules will the duel between A. Emelianenko and M. Koklyaev take place:

The duel will pass by the rules of boxing.

Prediction for the fight Koklyaev vs Emelianenko:

On November 29, 2019, we will receive an answer to the question of what is preferable - strength or speed.

Speed. Russian mixed martial arts fighter Alexander Emelianenko (younger brother of Fedor Emelianenko) has fought over a hundred fights in various martial arts. His manner of fighting is distinguished by courage, speed and entertainment. Now Alexander is in excellent physical shape, which means that in the upcoming fight he will be faster than ever.

Force. Eight-time champion of the Russian Federation in weightlifting, powerlifter Mikhail Koklyaev, "The Strongest Man of Russia" - is a multiple winner of international tournaments in power extreme sports. It is deservedly famous for its strength, courage and sports character. He claims that in order to knock out Emelianenko, he "needs only 1 hit."

If the fight between Koklyaev and Emelianenko is not a freak fight (staged, for the show), then Mikhail does not have much chance. Of course, there is a video where a strongman slaps 320 kilograms, and therefore, theoretically, he can knock out Alexander. However, Emelianenko is an experienced fighter who has been performing in mixed martial arts for a long time, and therefore is the undisputed favorite of the fight.

So, for example, it is allowed to involve an employee to work on a weekend / non-working holiday, if there is a need to perform unforeseen work, on the urgent implementation of which the further normal functioning of the organization depends.

In this case, the employee can be involved only with his written consent.

Note that sometimes engaging an employee on weekends/non-working holidays (including in January 2019) is possible without obtaining consent from him.

In this case, work on a weekend / non-working holiday is paid in a single amount, and the day of rest chosen by the employee is not paid (Article 153 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation).
