One of the main questions of concern to citizens of the Russian Federation: will December 31, 2022 be a day off in Russia or should you tune in to a work schedule. For details, refer to the manufacturing calendar and read government statements.

Will there be a day off on December 31 in 2022

In 2022, December 31 will be a day off. However, not everyone can count on it. This day falls on Saturday, and according to the law, the day off is only allowed for five days. People working in a different regime may not count on the early start of the holidays.

Citizens who work 6 days a week, 2/2, 3/1, etc., can get a day off, but only if the employer makes such a decision.

How long will the New Year holidays last with a five-day period

In total, for the New Year holidays, workers will have 9 days off 5 days a week - 1 in December 2022 and 8 in January 2023. They will fall on the following days:

• 31th of December;
• January 1-8.

From January 9, 2023, people will start working again if they are employed for a 5-day work week. At the request of the employer, the number of holidays can be increased. Reduction of New Year's leave is not stipulated under any conditions. By law, this will be considered a violation against the employee.

What is the schedule for 6-day workers on New Year's holidays 2022-2023?

With a six-day period, you should not count on a day off on December 31, 2022. This day will fall on Saturday, and it is working for all 6 diaries. Only those people who work on Saturday in shifts will have a day off. In some cases, time off can be provided by the employer's decision, if the company is not engaged in the production of products or the provision of services, a failure in the system of which can disrupt the usual life of people (for example, housing and communal services companies).

In 2022-2023, people working on a 6-day work schedule will rest from January 1 to January 8 inclusive.

Ways to increase the period of the New Year holidays

There are several options for extending the New Year holidays. Any employed citizen of the Russian Federation can use them. Options for increasing holidays include:

• substitution with another employee - if he does not go anywhere for the New Year holidays, you can ask to change shifts;
• take a few days of vacation at your own expense - for this you need to agree in advance with the management of the desire to get a day off on the selected dates;
• get the annual leave for the New Year holidays (despite the fact that this type of leave is prescribed to an officially employed citizen by law, it can be obtained only after agreement with the employer).

Day off for the New Year holidays is not always possible. In some cases, management denies leave for this period, since many employees ask for it.

It is almost impossible to get a vacation at the end of December. At this time, reports are submitted, the results of the worked year are summed up. Employers are more willing to give vacations in January.

Outcomes

In 2022, December 31 falls on Saturday. For people working on a 5-day day, this will be an official day off. With a six-day period, it will be necessary to work out this day, despite the upcoming New Year. In Russia, December 31 is not a public holiday, so the law does not provide for an official day off on this day. At the request of the employee, you can take time off at your own expense or take advantage of the officially prescribed vacation, but first coordinate this with the management.
