December is the month before the New Year. Let's figure out how we officially rest in accordance with the production calendar, how many days off in 2020 there are in Russia.

How many days will you need to work in December 2020

Before the onset of the New Year, it is necessary to solve all the problems of the outgoing one, for example, submit reports. If you look at the calendar, you can see that by the end of 2020 you will have to work for exactly 23 days.

Those who work 8 hours a day (that is, 40 hours a week) will have to work 183 hours. For less busy people - with a schedule of 36 working hours weekly, this number is less and is 164.6 hours. And those who work only a day a week (24 hours) will spend about 109.4 hours at their workplace.

The very same New Year's Eve - December 31 - is declared a pre-holiday, that is, a short day. On this day, all employed citizens go home one hour earlier than usual.

Number of non-working days in the calendar for December

Basic knowledge of arithmetic makes it possible to calculate how many days workers will spend at home. So, in December 2020, you can officially not work for 8 days, namely, you will not have to go to work: on December 5, 6, 12, 13, 19, 20, 26 and 27.

Holidays December 2020

December is not rich for public holidays. This month is just a harbinger of a long weekend. But there are still unofficial holidays. For example, December 12 is a day that until 2005 was an official holiday, Constitution Day.

But amendments made in 2004 removed this day from the list of holidays. However, in 2020, December 12 falls on Saturday, and therefore everyone who works 5 days a week will rest, despite the cancellation of Constitution Day.

Weekends for those who work six days a week

How do we officially relax with this work schedule? The number of days off in December 2020 in Russia with a six-day period is significantly reduced. For those working five days, there will be 8 weekly days off, and those working a day longer will spend half the time at home. But on December 31, "six-day workers" will leave the workplace an hour earlier. There is no difference in this.

Established standards for working hours

All working people are aware of the existence of the production calendar. It helps determine how much time they will have to spend at work. Weekends and holidays are marked on the calendar. Working hours are also allocated.

Sometimes the last days of December are days off: 28, 29, 30 and 31. In 2020, these dates correspond to the days of the week: Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday. The new year 2021 starts on Friday.

Some organizations traditionally make these days a weekend. This move is quite logically justified by the pre-holiday preparations. However, the New Year holidays in this case become shorter.

Employees of these companies go to work earlier than others. Although everything is individual here. There are enterprises where employees rest for several days at the end of December, and all due days in January.

December 2020 minor holidays

In addition to the main public holiday, New Year, there are other celebrations related to religion or professional activity. It is known that corporate parties on the occasion of the day of a specialist in a particular field in Russia are celebrated with no less scope than the New Year itself.

There are no official holidays this month at all, but some days are still out of the ordinary. For example, December 1 is World AIDS Day, and December 9 is Heroes of the Fatherland Day. The history of this holiday dates back to the 18th century.

Another holiday at the beginning of December (2.12) is the day of the cashier, on December 3 the professional holiday is celebrated by the lawyers of Russia, and at 18.12 - by the registry office employees. Military personnel also have holidays. For the military missile forces, the professional holiday is December 17.

As for religious dates, on December 6, Christians celebrate the day of memory of Alexander Nevsky. The life of this saint is inextricably linked with the history of Russia, therefore the ROC considers this day the Day of the Defender of the Fatherland. As for the Catholic Church, for them December is the month of the birth of Christ. So, on December 25, Catholics celebrate Christmas.

If a vacation falls in December 2020, then when registering it, you should be guided by how we officially relax. Obviously, the best time to go on vacation is from the middle of the month. In this case, the total worker in Russia will be able to rest for almost a whole month. However, not everyone likes to be at home for so long, and therefore the choice of vacation dates, taking into account the weekend, is everyone's personal business.

Summarize

1. The days when December 2020 is an official weekend are reflected in the production calendar.
2. December includes a number of non-weekend professional holidays.
3. Regardless of the circumstances, December 31 is declared a short working day.
