How do we relax on November 4, 2016, National Unity Day? How are we doing in November? Which days are non-working days in November? Such questions concern both employees and employers.

How we relax

November 4, 2016 is a holiday. It is called National Unity Day. This day is established by the Labor Code of the Russian Federation as a non-working day, namely, paragraph 8 of part one of Article 112 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation.

By virtue of Article 107 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation, non-working holidays are considered types of rest time, and the right to rest is guaranteed by part 5 of Article 37 of the Constitution of the Russian Federation. In this regard, the answer to the question of how to relax during the November holidays in 2016 is simple: no one should work on November 4, 5 and 6, 2016. That is, we do not work on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. You must go to work in November on Monday, November 7, 2016.

Shorter day in November

The Labor Code of the Russian Federation provides for a reduction in working hours on the eve of non-working holidays and weekends, as well as when working at night (Articles 95, 96 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation). Therefore, November 3, 2016 is a shortened working day. Working hours are reduced by 1 hour by law. On shortened days, the employee has the right to leave work earlier and not violate the internal labor regulations.

Recruitment

According to Article 113 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation, work on non-working holidays is prohibited. However, an employee can be involved in work without his consent in the following cases:

• to prevent (or eliminate the consequences of) an industrial accident, catastrophe, natural disaster;
• to prevent accidents, destruction or damage to property;
• to perform work the need for which is due to the introduction of a state of emergency or martial law, as well as in other cases that threaten the life or normal living conditions of the population.

Holidays in November 2016 in Russia, how are we relaxing this year? Many have already gotten used to the fact that before the long January holidays, there is a November respite in the work schedule, which is so important for restoring strength. If you look at the current holiday calendar, it becomes clear that there is only one official holiday, which should be a day off in Russia in November - the 4th.

Upon reflection, it can be logically assumed that it is worth waiting for a long weekend only if the holiday of the Day of Unity of the Peoples of Russia on November 4 falls on days close to the official weekend: Saturday or Sunday. Unfortunately, this did not happen in 2016; Unity Day falls exactly on Wednesday. Therefore, there will be only one official day off in the middle of the week and no postponements. Useful on holidays.

About the absence of transfers

Holidays in November 2016 in Russia, how are we relaxing? There will be no special features here. Regular weekends Saturday and Sunday remain in place. The only holiday day off in the middle of the week is November 4, the Day of Unity of the Peoples of Russia. The holiday is very important for our multinational country, but, unfortunately, it is not yet as popular as we would like.

IN modern history This holiday entered our country only ten years ago. In 2005, a decree was signed establishing an official holiday and day off on November 4 throughout the country. They called the holiday patriotic and important: National Unity Day.

Despite the fact that many people complain that Soviet holidays were simply redrawn in such an ugly way, this day has its own history, which extends much deeper than the years of the USSR in the territory modern Russia. It all started back in 1612. Then Minin and Pozharsky saved Moscow, not allowing the Polish lords to capture it. This happened just in November, and then this day was also timed to coincide with the Day of the Kazan Icon of the Mother of God.

Important! Sociological surveys show that today, unfortunately, not every citizen of our country even knows the correct name of this holiday: National Unity Day. What can we say about any traditions of celebrating November 4th. The government has been trying to change the situation for ten years and we urge you to note that for a multinational country such a holiday is important and necessary. You can do it for a holiday.

About the pre-holiday day

If we go back to how we relax and what it’s like in November 2016 in Russia, we only celebrate November 4th. This is Wednesday, which will be a public holiday in the middle of the work week. But it is important to note that November 3 has the status of a pre-holiday day. For working people this is something, yes.

On all pre-holiday days, according to labor legislation our country, the working day should be shortened by one hour. Not all employers remember this clause in the law, so you can remind them about it in advance. Just that, a worker can always refer to Article 95 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation.

It turns out that there is no need to talk about holidays in November of this year. Since the National Unity Day holiday falls on Wednesday, no amount of postponement will help it become the ancestor of a long weekend. But even one extra day off is already a holiday. Plus, it’s also important to remember that the January 2017 weekend is coming very soon.

Even if in November 2016 we only have an additional 1 day of rest - November 4 on National Unity Day, and the rest of the weekend follows the standard schedule of Saturdays and Sundays, in January 2016 citizens of the Russian Federation will have a rest of 10 days. Is this a reason for pride that among all the CIS countries, it is Russia that has the longest New Year holidays? Of course, because the better and more actively a person rests, the more actively he will work later. We wish you a bright holiday season!

November is the month that ends autumn. In addition to standard weekends (Saturdays and Sundays), it gives Russians who work a five-day week the opportunity to take a kind of mini-vacation - after all, this month, on November 4, we celebrate National Unity Day. The holiday of November 4 is still just “gaining momentum”; it is just over a decade old: we have been celebrating it since 2004. On this day, November 4, 400 years ago, Minin and Pozharsky, becoming the head of the people's militia, liberated Moscow from Polish invaders.

We have decided on National Unity Day. What else will November please us with? How long and how do we work and rest in November 2016?

Weekends and holidays in November 2016

In 2016, National Unity Day falls on Friday, and therefore we will rest for 3 whole days in a row - from Friday to Sunday. There will be no postponements, everything will go according to the calendar. Don't forget: on the eve of a long weekend, every person (except those who work on a rotational basis or in shifts) has the legal right to leave workplace a full hour earlier than usual. If the management of your company accidentally forgot about this fact, it is worth tactfully reminding them.

In addition to the “mini-vacations”, in November Russians will have 6 usual Saturdays and Sundays free from work. And there will be 21 working days. Those who didn’t have enough National Unity Day can arrange a number of additional holidays for themselves. On the weekends in November, you can rightfully celebrate some more dates.

Make sure that the day dedicated to children is memorable for them for a long time!

November 27 (this is the last Sunday in November) is a holiday that recently came to Russia. It is called Mother's Day. This Sunday, we must wholeheartedly congratulate and thank our mothers, who managed to raise their children in the difficult conditions of Russian reality. Go visit them and give them a gift beautiful bouquet, and let this Sunday become the best day of November for your family!

November is a short month (only 30 days), but there are plenty of holidays. And even though only November 4th is an official holiday, you can turn almost any Saturday or Sunday into yours family celebration. As you can see, there are plenty of dates “with a reason”!
