At the beginning of the last month of spring, there are two holidays at once. We will tell you how we rest on Spring and Labor Day and Great Victory Day, May 1 and 9, 2020, respectively. Weekends, with a short break, will be long due to the postponement proposed by the Ministry of Labor of Russia.

Great Victory Day

May 9, 2020 marks 75 years since this day was officially proclaimed the Day of the Great Victory of the Soviet people in the Great Patriotic War. The non-standard duration of the holiday is explained not by the number of years that have passed since the hoisting of the red flag of Victory over the Reichstag, but by a coincidence:

• leap year;
• falling out of public holidays on weekends;
• the legislation of the Russian Federation, which enshrines the right of every worker to compensation in the event of overlapping calendar and public holidays.

Every year, the Ministry of Labor and Social Development of the Russian Federation carefully studies the calendar for the next year and offers options for how we rest on national dates.

The transfer is fixed by the relevant government decree and becomes the basis for drawing up an official production calendar.

It is necessary to take into account the number of working hours, the convenience of a tripartite agreement between workers, employers and the state. And on May 9, 2020 for Russians, it will begin with a shortened pre-holiday Friday May 8 (according to the Labor Code, it is reduced by 1 hour, regardless of the usual duration of work).

The further schedule of how we rest consists of a three-day short vacation, because May 9 and 10 fell on the weekend. Hence the transfer of the official day off (holiday) from Saturday to Monday.

The answer to the question of how we rest on May 9, 2020 is as follows:

1. May 9 is the Great Victory Day, it should be so according to the Constitution, but it is superimposed on Saturday. This is the same official day off for those who work a five-day work week, so it is supposed to be compensated. The Ministry of Labor of the Russian Federation has fixed the postponement to Monday, May 11, an ordinary working day.
2. May 10 is not a day off, like the Victory Day preceding it, therefore it remains a Sunday day of rest.
3. May 11th, Monday, compensated rest day because it has been rescheduled from Saturday, May 9th.

In 2020, several such transfers were officially fixed, because the holidays in Russia fell mainly on weekends. Instead of the traditional New Year and Christmas decade, the residents of Russia had only eight days, but on May Day they were compensated.

For accountants and personnel officers, the answer to the question of how we rest for May means recalculating working hours, charging double pay for those who will work. This is done in order to ensure that reduced working hours and other everyday processes are recorded.

Summarize

1. In 2020, Russians are resting on Victory Day for 3 days.
2. There will be festive events on Saturday by May 9th.
3. Sunday, May 10th, a simple day off.
4. Monday, May 11 - transfer from Saturday and at the same time a public holiday.
