May holidays will give Russians a real small vacation. Residents of Russia will rest for four whole days - from April 29 to May 2.
On Saturday, April 28, Russians will have to go to work to earn rest on Monday, April 30. May 1 is an official non-working day, but on May 2, Russians will be able to rest due to the fact that January 7 fell on Sunday and the day off was postponed to May.
Thus, before the four-day weekend, Russians will have to work a six-day work week and only then enjoy their rest. But after a long weekend, you will need to go to work for just two days and then go to rest again.
Note that May 9 this year falls in the middle of the working week, Wednesday, so the residents of Russia will have only one day of rest on Victory Day - May 9.
How we rest on the May holidays in 2018, Russians? There will be some changes this year. In the sense that two blocks of days off will still be at the disposal of the workaholic. The law has not abolished them yet. One of them is "tied" to the date of May 1, the second - to May 9. Now let's look at everything in detail.
The May holidays of 2018 in Russia will allow all people who faithfully serve at work to have a rest for 8 + 3 days. It turns out that 1/3 of the month is the time for rest. 8 days are legal days off - Saturday and Sunday - and the other three days off are days 1, 2 and 9 May. Also in Russia will rest on April 29 and 30. At the same time, April 28, which falls on Saturday, will be made a working day.
- April 28 (Saturday) - working day (day off postponed to April 30);
- April 29 (Sunday) - day off, timed to coincide with the celebration of May 1;
- April 30 (Monday) - day off, timed to coincide with the celebration of May 1 (postponed from June 9);
- May 1 (Tuesday) - holiday - Day of Spring, Labor, International Workers' Solidarity. As soon as it is not called. In general, May Day. It fell on a Tuesday;
- May 2 (Wednesday) is a public holiday. At the suggestion of the Ministry of Labor to postpone the weekend from January 7, which falls on Sunday, May 2, we will be able to enjoy an additional day of rest;
- May 3.4 (Thursday and Friday) - working days;
- May 5.6 (Saturday and Sunday) - days off;
- May 7 (Monday) - a working day, probably one of the laziest Mondays of the year;
- May 8 (Tuesday) - a pre-holiday and, accordingly, a shortened working day;
- May 9 (Wednesday) - holiday - Victory Day. Everyone, it seems, knows him without exception. Everyone remembers the Glory and is proud of the Past. In general, this Big holiday dropped out on Wednesday.
The calendar for May 2018, as it should be for this month preceding the onset of summer, consists of 31 days. As mentioned earlier in the text, more than a third of this month, Russians will be walking. During this time, people can freely go about their personal affairs, and at the same time it is legal not to go to work. If, of course, it is possible.
It seems that the moment is understood that everything said in the article is relevant for state-owned enterprises and those companies that follow the principles established by the government of the country in relation to the observance of the norm of working days and days off within one calendar year.
How do we rest on the rest of the May holidays in 2018? As you can see, as always. The month will start with a day off. After that, according to the law, you will have to work 2 days - from May 3 to 4. Further, at the disposal of people registered at work, there will be two days off - Saturday and Sunday.
The next week will begin for Russians with a full working day. May 7 will have to work out the established rate of hours. At the same time, on May 8, in connection with tomorrow's holiday, all hard workers of Russia will be able to take advantage of the chance to get a shorter working day at their disposal. May 9 - Victory Day - legal day off. It fell on Wednesday. Thursday and Friday are full working days.
After that, no other days off except Saturday and Sunday are observed.
May holidays in 2018 are the last chance for Russians on the eve of summer to relax legally. After that, it remains only to wait for the onset of the vacation period or wait for any other chance to get, if, of course, there are prerequisites for this.
It is worth noting that in total there will be many holidays in May, however, as you already understood, there will be no days off in honor of them. Who will work if everyone is resting?
Here are some examples. Take Diver's Day. It will be on May 5th. True, this is already a day off. However, the transfer to a weekday is not expected. Or Radio Day. It will be celebrated on May 7th. And no, this is not a film that will be celebrating, I mean, an anniversary in honor of its release.
But the Day of Slavic Literature and Culture, a holiday that will "make" remember Saints Methodius and Cyril, celebrated on May 24, on Thursday, is not, according to officials, a reason to set aside a full day off for its celebration.
So it turns out that the holidays in May are 3 days, of those that lead to a legal weekend. In the same year, there are 17 such official holidays. In total, out of 365 days off as such, all hard workers have at their disposal Russian Federation will be 118.
According to the production calendar of Russia, in May 2018 there are 20 workers in the country (including 1 reduced one) and 11 days off and holidays.
Working hours:
- with a 40-hour working week - 159 hours (20 x 8 - 1, where 20 is the number of working days, 8 is the duration of the work shift, 1 is the number of shortened working days);
- at 36 hours - 143 hours (20 x 7.2 - 1);
- at 24 hours - 95 hours (20 x 4.8 - 1).
May holidays are the time for outdoor recreation. At this time of the year, warm weather is already setting in the street, flowers and trees are blooming.

May Day today is completely different from the one that was under the Soviet Union. In the land of the Soviets, grandiose demonstrations took place on this day as a sign of solidarity with working people around the world fighting for their rights. At present, the holiday has lost its political connotation and has become the Day of Spring and Labor. On this day, all those who contribute to the prosperity of our country are honored. These are ordinary workers, employees of various organizations and village workers. Everyone can rightfully refer himself to this category, which means May 1 is a holiday for all of us, without exception, it is not surprising that everyone is so waiting for it every year.
Second an official holiday in our country is - May 9. This will be the seventy-third anniversary of our victory over Nazi Germany. On this day, Russians will remember all those who defended our Motherland many years ago and to whom we owe 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 did 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 defending our peaceful life, as well as the latest military equipment, which has no equal in the world. The already well-known action "Immortal Regiment" will undoubtedly take place. And in the evening we will all witness a grand fireworks in honor of the victory of our country in the Great Patriotic War. Similar events will take place in all major cities of Russia, as well as in hero cities.
V last years Russians have a tradition to open the season of outdoor recreation on the May holidays. Indeed, in a large part of the territory of Russia, steady heat is already established, trees and flowers are blooming, and the whole air is literally filled with a magical aroma. It is no coincidence that most Russians rush to their favorite vacation spots:
- to the country house;
- to the village to visit relatives;
- for a picnic in the forest or to the nearest body of water.
Among the entertainment, the most popular is the cooking of field porridge or kebabs over a fire. For outdoor enthusiasts, the beach soccer or volleyball season opens. 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 to go to the southern seas these days. They use every free minute to enjoy the warm sun of exotic countries and splash in the warm emerald sea.
There are also those among our citizens who do not miss the moment to get acquainted with new historical monuments. It is no coincidence that tours to Europe are so popular on May holidays, where every city presents an open-air museum. No less popular in recent times our national historical sites began to be used as well. That is just a trip to the Golden Ring of Russia.

Working days in May 2018 alternate with holidays and weekends, as in other months of the year. However, May has more holidays, shortened pre-holidays and "weekend" transfers. We will tell you how these nuances influenced the number of May working days and working hours.
Working days in May 2018
To understand how many working days are in May-2018, to clarify the working hours in May-2018 and to deal with the nuances of transferring working days in May-2018, we will be helped by:
- Resolution "On the transfer of days off in 2018" dated October 14, 2017 No. 1250;
- calendar of working days in May 2018;
- Labor Code of the Russian Federation (Art. 112 "Non-working holidays").
To find out which days are working days in May 2018, let's look at the working calendar in May 2018 and clarify the schedule of working days in May 2018:
· On the 2nd working week in May 2018, 4 working days (May 7-8 and May 10-11), interrupted by the Victory Day (May 9). In this case, the pre-holiday working Tuesday (May 8) will be 1 hour shorter.
· On the 3rd and 4th week, all working days are unchanged (from Monday to Friday).
· The last week of work includes 4 working days in May (28-31) and a June working Friday.
Thus, the number of working days in May 2018 is 20.
Working hours in May 2018
In order to understand the norm of working hours in May 2018, let's figure out the technology for calculating this indicator. It is described in the Order approved. by order of the Ministry of Health and Social Development of Russia dated 13.08.2009 No. 588n, and consists of the following:
- the working time is calculated according to the schedule of a 5-day working week (RN) with two days off based on the duration of daily work (shift);
- the duration of the pre-holiday working day (PRD) is reduced by 1 hour.

The DRP indicator is determined as follows:
If PH = 40 hours. → PRD = 8 hours.
If RN< 40 час. → ПРД = РН/5 дн.
Example:
In LLC "StroyTransBalt" a shortened working week (36 hours) is provided for blacksmiths and accumulators. For them, the length of the working day is determined by the formula:
If PH = 36 hours. → PRD = 36 hours / 5 days = 7.2 hours.
And in PJSC "TurboLux" schoolchildren under the age of 16 work as couriers in summer. Their working day is set based on the length of the working week of 24 hours. For these workers, a working day cannot last more than 4.8 hours:
If PH = 24 hours. → PRD = 24 hours / 5 days = 4.8 hours.
The formula for calculating the norm of working hours (NRW) for a month:
NRV May = KRD x PRD - efficiency x 1 hour,
where NRV May is the norm of working hours in May;
КРД - the number of working days in May;
ПРД - the duration of the working day;
Efficiency - the number of pre-holiday days for which the DRP is reduced by 1 hour (in May it is 1 day ─ May 8).
We will tell you what days off are provided in May in connection with the holidays, as well as analyze how to arrange these non-working holidays.
From the article you will learn:
What are the days off in May 2018 with a five-day work week

The calendar shows the months, quarters and 2018 as a whole, as well as the number of working days and days off for a five-day work week with two days off.
According to the current procedure, the norm of working time for certain periods is calculated according to the estimated schedule of a five-day working week, when two days off (on Saturday and Sunday) are set, taking into account the duration of daily work (daily shift):
- at a 40-hour week - 8 hours;

On the eve of May 2018 holidays, like other holidays, reduced by one hour on the basis of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation. When calculating working hours, it is necessary to take into account and days. If a day off and a non-working holiday coincide, then in this case the day off is transferred to the next working day after the holiday.
Federal laws, as well as regulations of the Government of the Russian Federation, as an exception, may establish a special procedure for postponing holidays when they coincide with weekends. This follows from the provisions of parts and article 112 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation.

Russians are already accustomed to the fact that May holidays often have long weekends. But sometimes, each of them takes only a couple of days. Let's find out how we rest in May 2018, as well as how much time we can devote to celebrating Victory Day, Spring and Labor Day.
Our calendar features many holidays. At the same time, there are only two months of the year, when due to holidays one can count on long weekends. This is everyone's favorite new year holidays and May holidays. I must say that the May weekends are no less beloved by Russians. Indeed, it is during this period that many of our citizens open the holiday season outside the city. At the same time, everyone's favorite:
- Labour Day;
- Victory Day.
It is not surprising that we are all looking forward to new mini vacations, when you can not only take a break from everyday working days, but also do something useful. It is no secret that many Russians have a summer cottage. It is at the beginning of May that the main work begins there, laying the foundation for the future harvest.
Official weekend
To understand how we will rest in May, just look at the production calendar. It is the basis for the formation of the working schedule of most enterprises and organizations in Russia. From it you can find out how things are with the transfers and how many days off our citizens can expect.
To understand this issue in detail, you need to start in April. This month, the last weekend falls on:
- 04/28/18 - Saturday;
- 04/29/18 - Sunday.
This is followed by 04/30/18 - Monday, which should logically be a working day. The Ministry of Labor decided not to break weekends and holidays and therefore issued a decree according to which the above Monday - 04/30/18 is postponed to Saturday 04/28/18. In addition, 01/07/18 was postponed to Wednesday - 05/02/18. Thus, it turns out that the Russians will have four days off on the May holidays. If we talk about the general situation in May, then we get the following picture:
Public holidays
In the last month of spring, two wonderful holidays are celebrated that are loved by Russians. One of them is Spring and Labor Day. This holiday has been known since the times of the Soviet Union. It was then that it originated and was widely celebrated throughout the country. True, at that time it had a political connotation, since then it was customary to take part in the May Day demonstration and express solidarity with the working people of all countries. Indeed, in Soviet times, everyone, young and old, went to many thousands of demonstrations, where they expressed support for the working people of the whole world who fought for their rights.
Today this holiday is not at all like May Day of the past. Nowadays, people rejoice at the onset of spring, and the government provides everyone with the opportunity to take a break from workdays and enjoy the awakening nature. It is no coincidence that these days Russians are rushing en masse out of the city, into the forest, to various bodies of water. Taking the opportunity, they rest in natural conditions in order to soon return to their jobs inspired and full of energy to achieve new results.
There are people who these days go to their personal plots, summer cottages, to put them in order and do the first work to get the future harvest.
The second holiday, which is especially important for our citizens, is Victory Day. On this day, Russians honor those who fought for our independence during the Second World War. In all the settlements of our country, solemn events are held at which our citizens lay flowers and wreaths at the monuments of Soviet citizens who died on the fields of military battles. It is interesting that not only people of the older and middle generations take part in them, but also modern schoolchildren. This suggests that in our country, young people continue the traditions of their grandfathers. These days, solemn processions and meetings are also held, where veterans of the Great Patriotic War are honored. One of such events is the "Immortal Regiment" action. On it, the current inhabitants of our country show that they have not forgotten their heroes and, if necessary, are ready to continue their work.
