The production calendar gives a clear picture of how the Russian people will work and rest. So, having familiarized yourself with it, we get the following picture:

According to the legislation of the Russian Federation, 06/12/18 is an official non-working day, in connection with the celebration of the Day of Russia. This date falls on a Tuesday this year. In order not to break the weekend, the Government decided to move Saturday 06/09/18 to Monday 06/11/18. Thus, on Saturday, the Russians will have to go to work, then to rest continuously for three days:

• 06/10/18 - Sunday;
• 06/11/18 - Monday;
• 06/12/18 - Tuesday.

It is worth noting that on Saturday you will have to work an hour less, since this day will be pre-holiday.

It should be noted that Russians work in different industries in different ways and therefore the number of working hours will be different:

• If your working week is 40 hours, then in June you will be on the job 159 hours. This figure is obtained as follows: multiply the number of working days (20) by the length of the working day (8) and subtract the number of part-time working days - (20 x 8 - 1);
• If you have a 36 hour work week, then you will have to be at work for 143 hours. Such a figure is calculated similarly to the previous case: (20 x 7.2 - 1);
• With a 24 hour work week, you will need to be at work 95 hours. This number is obtained after the following calculations: (20 x 4.8 - 1).
