According to a long-standing tradition, January begins with long New Year's holidays and 2019 will be no exception. Every year, the Russian Ministry of Labor develops a resolution indicating weekdays and holidays. Typically, the document is approved in the fall of the current year for the next, so the exact dates for 2019 are already known.

IN next year several at once holidays coincide with the weekend. In order to comply with the norm of Article 110 of the Labor Code that there must be at least 42 hours of continuous rest between two working weeks, and to allow Russians to have a good rest, the government adopted a resolution “On the transfer of days off in 2019.”

HOW MANY DAYS DO WE REST IN JANUARY 2019 - WEEKENDS AND HOLIDAYS FOR THE NEW YEAR

For most Russians, the weekend in honor of the New Year 2019 will begin in advance - on Sunday, December 30, 2018. Thanks to the transfer, Saturday December 29, 2018 will be a working day (that is, “five-day workers” will have a six-day work week), and Monday December 31, 2018 will become a day off.

How will we relax for the New Year:

• December 30, 2018 - Sunday off.
• December 31, 2018 - Monday, day off moved from Saturday 12/29/2018
• January 1, 2019 - Tuesday, 1st day of the New Year holidays.
• January 2, 2019 - Wednesday, 2nd day of the New Year holidays.
• January 3, 2019 - Thursday, 3rd day of the New Year holidays.
• January 4, 2019 - Friday, 4th day of the New Year holidays.
• January 5, 2019 - Saturday, 5th day of the New Year holidays.
• January 6, 2019 - Sunday, 6th day of the New Year holidays.
• January 7, 2019 - Monday, Christmas.
• January 8, 2019 - Tuesday, 7th day of the New Year holidays.

Thus, in total, the New Year 2019 weekend in Russia will last 10 days: from December 30, 2018 to January 8, 2019.

Of course, the situation in 2018 was more convenient due to the fact that holidays fell on weekends and were postponed. But, nevertheless, 9 days of vacation is also a very good period. For it you will have time to prepare for the New Year, celebrate it and have a good walk and even go somewhere

NEW YEAR 2018 - WHERE TO GO AND HOW TO RELAX IN RUSSIA AND ABROAD

There is only a month and a half until the New Year. And almost everyone who decided to spend it not at home watching TV, but traveling, has already decided on their plans. Although not all, of course.

Russian tourists are quite conservative and most often choose beach destinations for the New Year. This is due to our climate - everyone wants to warm up, according to the tour operator Tez Tour. As a rule, many people want to fly away just before the New Year for 7 days/6 nights.

“For the first time, Egypt will be on the list of popular destinations with a flight via Cairo. The UAE, Thailand, Dominican Republic, and Cuba will also remain in the New Year's top list. In the “flight no more than 4 hours” segment, Türkiye, Cyprus, and Israel will win. Tourists are also interested in Tenerife - it is an all-season destination,” says PR director of tour operator Tez Tour Larisa Akhanova.

According to her, the UAE is an ideal resort for all occasions and budgets: there are many amusement parks, comfortable temperatures and the sea. For example, 7 days/6 nights in the emirate of Sharjah will cost 74,901 rubles for two. This is a 3-star hotel with a departure on December 26, but such tours sell out quickly.

The second large block of tourists will go to ski resorts. Another part will prefer excursion holidays, both within the country and abroad. The average bill starts from 40 – 45 thousand rubles. This is higher than for summer destinations, due to the large aviation component, Tez Tour explains.

“In general, Muscovites and residents of the Moscow region prefer to bask in the sun, while in winter they are more active in terms of excursions and entertainment,” notes Akhanova.

Turkey and Cyprus are popular among TUI tourists for the New Year, where they have a warm, comfortable climate even in the winter season. Cyprus attracts with a wide variety of activities, including excursions and gastrotourism.

In ANEX Tour, among the popular destinations for celebrating the New Year, in addition to Thailand, the UAE, the Dominican Republic and Turkey, Vietnam and India are also highlighted. The popularity of these countries is associated with transport accessibility, including charter, good New Year's programs and, of course, a visa-free or simplified visa regime.

For those who haven’t bothered with purchasing a tour in advance, there’s no need to wait for last-minute deals for New Year’s trips - it’s better to quickly choose from what’s left.

“By delaying the purchase of a tour in the hope of finding a last minute deal, you may end up without a trip at all, since hotel rooms for the New Year holidays begin to be booked six months in advance. As a rule, by December, many hotels are already on the “stop”, avoiding overbooking,” explains TUI Russia.

Tour operators during the New Year period do not put on extra boards, do not enter into excessive contracts with hotels, so you should not wait until the last minute for last-minute offers, there may not be any at all, or the most uninteresting options will remain, notes a representative of Tez Tour.

Tour lovers should go to Eastern Europe.

“The Baltic, Hungary, and the Czech Republic turn into Christmas and New Year's tale, and spending within the country is small,” advises Akhanova.

Another economical option for traveling for the New Year holidays is short tours around Russia, tour operators are sure.

In addition to the popular resorts of Krasnaya Polyana, with good transport accessibility and resort infrastructure, there is a high demand for short trips on New Year's dates to the Moscow region, St. Petersburg, the Republic of Tatarstan and Veliky Ustyug, ANEX Tour said.

According to the PR manager of the national tour operator Alean, Andrei Ryabov, Russians have tried out domestic resorts.

“Changes in the ruble exchange rate reduce the attractiveness of foreign resorts. On the other hand, domestic tourism is actively developing in our country. And not only in quantitative, but also in qualitative terms. For example, Tatarstan has seriously invested in tourism infrastructure, which was confirmed by the recent World Cup. Veliky Ustyug started well, St. Petersburg is always interesting for tourists,” says the expert.

Thus, among the most popular New Year's tours in Russia: Kazan - 12,580 rubles per person for 4 days, Karelia - 19,924 rubles per person for 4 days, Veliky Ustyug - from 18,750 rubles per person for 4 days and St. Petersburg - from 1,417 rubles per person per day.

New Year holidays last until the 8th inclusive. Moreover, of the holiday days, the 7th is an independent holiday - Christmas. It turns out that I have to go to work on the 9th. The weekend sequence consists of:

• vacation part (1-6 and 8);
• Christmas (7).

Please note that dates that fall on standard weekends are postponed. Thus, the transfer from the 5th will be carried out to May 2 (Thursday), and from the 6th to May 3.

Work plan for January

A short working month can be extended through part-time work. For example, if you are offered to work on weekends, you will have to rest less. But you will be able to earn more.

Article 153 of the Labor Code Russian Federation obliges the employer to pay “double tariff”. A collective or employment agreement may sometimes provide for even more favorable working conditions on holidays. Some workers choose time off instead of increased pay.

Features of the work mode of individual specialists

What January do we go back to work? For employees of medical institutions, the answer to this question is: according to the duty schedule, which is approved by management and communicated to the staff. For ordinary citizens, this means that it is possible to receive medical care in the period from 1 to 8. However, there is no uniform standard for the scope of medical services. Thus, in Moscow, clinics will be open from 9 am to 6 pm; it is possible to call a doctor at home, including January 1. In other cities, 1 is a day off in clinics, but you can call a doctor at home. In Tver, for example, doctors in clinics rest on January 1 and 2.

It's clear that ambulance works in normal mode, although in fact it is in enhanced mode. After all, any holiday is a period of increased trauma. Some suffer due to excess drinking, others - due to the fault of the first category of citizens.

An emergency situation also awaits police and rescue workers. Office workers rest until the 8th inclusive, but patrols are intensifying. This is due big amount mass events. So, to ensure fire safety More than a thousand people will be involved in Moscow alone.

Road patrol squads are being tightened everywhere. Their crews will concentrate in places where public events are held. Their other “mission” these days is to help people on trails outside of cities. Of course, given such tasks, employees of the law enforcement system will not rest during the New Year holidays.

Shift workers in any industry work according to previously approved schedules. The New Year holidays will only affect their salary: double pay when going out on a holiday.

From what January to work in 2019 for service sector employees

Workers in the service sector deserve special attention. Their work is aimed at meeting the needs of customers who need washing, haircuts, repairs, delivery, consultations and much more, not only on weekdays, but also on vacation. Therefore, work there is usually shift work, which means there will be no long weekends. For example, grocery stores are recommended to close on December 31 no earlier than 20.00, and in early January to open at the time set by the store management. All New Year's holidays they work as usual. The operating hours of shopping and entertainment centers are worked out annually by the city administration in coordination with the management of the centers. As a rule, they all start working from the middle of the day on January 2 or on the morning of January 3 and then work as usual.

The exception is municipal and state institutions, where employees will leave on January 9. Rosreestr, departments of guardianship, privatization and land relations, passport office and other similar structures will resume reception after the end of the holidays.

To the delight of many people in our country, the first working day in January 2018 will be January 9th. In other words, the duration of the New Year holidays that await us is 9 days of the calendar: starting from December 31 and ending on January 8.

The Russian government decree, in addition, approved in advance the postponement of celebrations and days off in 2018. The sequence is as follows: January 1 will be moved to February 24, and January 7 to May 7. These days will also be considered days off due to the transfer of legally guaranteed days off from holidays.

This schedule is quite convenient because it will allow you to organize the work process effectively during the period New Year's celebrations, and also gives enough time for breaks and rest. Already today, people of our country can plan their holidays for the New Year, focusing on the specified holiday term. Thanks to its duration, you can visit not only acquaintances and friends, but also take long trips and travel to luxurious places.

Features of the January work schedule

Despite the fact that the January holidays were guaranteed by law and will last from January 1 to January 8, for some employees the workweek schedule with rotating days off will be different. For them, January will begin its work on a different date. Labor legislation Russia allows the possibility of such a schedule, provided that it is mutually agreed upon and the employee has been informed of the possibility of additional payment for work on weekends.

Among other things, the employee has the right to demand additional hours of rest if he works on weekends and holidays. Such a decision must be discussed and agreed upon with the administration of the enterprise.

How to properly organize your vacation

Many Russians are looking forward to the winter holidays to celebrate Christmas and New Year with family and friends. We also want to take a break from everyday activities, relax and have the opportunity to have a good time. It’s not for nothing that there is a saying that after some rest you need additional rest. Is the long-awaited period of doing nothing really so beneficial for the people of Russia? Sociology and medicine provide mixed data.

On the one hand, a person needs quality rest in order to restore and activate the body’s creative resources, as well as to receive new positive emotions and provide a kind of energy recharge. But the other side of the moon suggests that rest from December 31 to January 8 can also have negative consequences.

Gastroenterologists, nutritionists and psychologists warn that the human body requires a period of adaptation when transitioning from a daily exercise regime to a long-term passive state, often accompanied by overeating and abuse alcoholic drinks. So, when you are enjoying the festive atmosphere, do not forget to spend more time on active recreation, follow a healthy diet and do not forget that the celebrations will end, but you need to return to work stronger and healthier.

Other special days 2018

Another wonderful holiday The one everyone is waiting for is Easter. This day begins with a greeting. On Easter Sunday, it is customary to greet each other in a special way: one says - Christ has risen. The second one answers him: He is truly risen. These solemn actions are popularly called Christening.

Also on Easter, crimson bells ring across the country. It is with bells that most people associate memories of the first spring holiday. Church laws say that bells are only allowed to ring during services - believers are called to the service with a loud melodic sound. But in Easter week The bells ring at any time - in honor of the great celebration. In Rus', many years ago, a tradition developed to open bell towers, giving access to the bells to everyone who wants to. So in our time, it is also allowed to climb up and ring in honor of the bright holiday.

Grandparents Day

In 2015, another date of celebration was marked on the calendar in our country - October 28. Since then, all Russians have celebrated new holiday. It is dedicated to our beloved relatives and is filled with warmth and smiles. Of all the modern celebrations, Grandparents' Day should be called the youngest. He was born only in 2009. But, in a short period of time, it managed to gain popularity. The birthplace of the celebration is Holland. Initially, the idea of ​​the celebration appealed to Europe, and then to America. Today the holiday has reached our doors.

It is worth saying that the holiday does not have a single date. It is celebrated in spring, summer and autumn in different countries. For example, in Canada, grandparents are congratulated on the first Sunday in September. Everyone gathers in a family circle, some come to visit with gifts and congratulations. If the weather permits, Canadians prefer to go out into nature and have picnics.

The Russian government has approved the calendar of holidays for 2018. The New Year holidays will last ten days. Russians will be able to afford the long-awaited vacation.

Winter holidays will run from December 30 to January 8. According to many Russians, this is great news. It will be possible to carry out the planned rest and limit yourself from work. However, some believe that this idea is somewhat wrong. Holidays that are too long can have a detrimental effect on the working ability of Russians.
