The very first spring holiday - International Women's Day, is especially loved in Russia. In anticipation of receiving gifts for women and pre-holiday troubles for men, the question becomes relevant - how we rest on March 8 in 2019 and whether an additional day off will be allocated.

Weekend not only for women

Despite the pronounced gender coloring of the holiday itself, it is a non-working day for both halves of humanity.

Moreover, the official weekend in honor of the women's holiday will last three days in a row in 2019:

• March 8, Friday - a public holiday;
• March 9, Saturday - an official day off (non-working day);
• March 10, Sunday - an official day off (non-working day).

But when answering the question of how we rest on March 8 in 2019 in Russia, it is worth considering the specifics of the working week established by your employment contract.

So, if you work for five days - go to work weekly from Monday to Friday and have a standard rest on Saturdays and Sundays - the above scheme is relevant for you. But there are also employees who devote to work six days a week with one day off on Sundays.

For such categories of workers, Saturday will still remain a working day. But in the first second working week of March, there will be two days off instead of one:

• March 8, Friday - a public holiday;
• March 10, Sunday - an official day off (non-working day).

At the same time, absolutely all employees are subject to a reduction in the working day preceding a public holiday. This means that on March 7, both five-day and six-day workers legally leave work exactly one hour earlier than usual. This norm is enshrined in legislative acts regulating labor in the Russian Federation. And no matter how many working hours are according to the plan in your month, in March there will be one fewer.

Union weekend

However, the day off on March 8 is found not only in Russia, but also on the territory of many countries that were previously union republics and part of the USSR.

For example, let's answer the question about the weekend of March 8 in 2019 in Kazakhstan. There have been no changes in the production calendar in this country. Kazakhstanis will rest on International Women's Day in the same way as the Russians.

Citizens of both countries, after a three- or two-day rest (depending on the length of the official working week at the enterprise), will go on a full-time five- or six-day work, then spend a standard weekend (Saturday-Sunday or only Sunday).

But after the rest, the work paths will diverge a little: the Russians will enter their usual working rhythm until May 1, and Kazakhstanis, after three days of work (from March 18 to March 20), will go on vacation in honor of Nauryz Meiramy, which is an exceptional public holiday in Kazakhstan.

Note that International Women's Day is also an official day off in Belarus and some other countries.

Nice ideas

Having figured out the question of how we rest on March 8 in 2019, and having studied the production calendar, you can safely plan the weekend.

How to spend the weekend with your loved ones is up to you. Whether it is a weekend trip to Paris or a quiet family dinner by candlelight, a trip to visit your grandmother or a family outing to the water park, skiing in a big company or gatherings in a spa with a purely female team - the holiday will always succeed.

The main thing is not to spoil anyone's mood with your inattention. Therefore, in addition to gifts for the main people, it is worth stocking up in advance with universal souvenirs in order to be able to please when you meet those you have accidentally forgotten.

This process needs to be given enough time so that surprises are pleasant and not costly.

Having studied the changes in the production calendar, which are insignificant for March 8 in 2019 and do not conceal complex transfers, you can start planning gifts. The lead time of this process will allow you not only to be more original, but also to significantly save money - after all, by the holiday the prices for "women's" goods will steadily go up.
