Traditionally, July is the hottest month when Russians make time for themselves to relax. Employees of enterprises and organizations apply for paid leave. Accountants cannot do without an appropriate calendar for calculating payment amounts. Let's figure out how we rest in July 2021 and what dates will be days off.

Working and weekend calendar

The calendar is used to regulate and track the working time of employees who have legalized labor relations in Russia. What it says:

• number of days in July;
• official working days;
• official weekend dates;
• working hours, depending on the established work schedule: at 40-, 36- and 24-hour weeks.

The calendar is compiled on the basis of state regulations, it takes into account the requirements of labor legislation.

All payments to employees of companies and organizations are calculated on the basis of this document. Days and hours are summed up for the specified period. With a production calendar at hand, accounting, HR, staff and managers can at any convenient time discuss how to move the holidays and weekends, draw up a work and rest schedule. For convenience, the document contains comments.

The calendar is based on a 5 day work week. But today many companies work 6 days a week with a balance of working hours. Obviously, the calendars for the 5- and 6-day workweek will be different.

How and why the holidays are postponed

Situations when an official holiday falls on a day off are provided for by Russian labor law. Every year, the government issues a decree according to which the Ministry of Labor is obliged to postpone holidays to a later date. This shift is being done so that citizens can make better use of weekends and non-working days. This is required by article 112 of the Labor Code.

The government has yet to agree on a schedule for the weekend reshuffle, but the Labor Department has already published a draft. According to this document, you can understand how we will rest in July 2021. Holidays are not foreseen this month, but you can see which days the weekend falls on in case of different options for organizing the work week.

Difference between 5- and 6-day workweeks

Ensuring the balance of working hours and the number of hours worked seems to be an indispensable condition for employers of all forms of ownership, without exception. Working and resting conditions are regulated by internal documents, but in accordance with the conditions of labor legislation.

The July 2021 calendar for workers and employers varies according to the number of working days per week. The employer can determine the work schedule at his own discretion. But the terms of the labor law should not be ignored.
