Will the holidays on March 8 be postponed? How are working days postponed in connection with the celebration of International Women's Day?

The second week of March will be one of the shortest working weeks in 2018 - Russians will have a long weekend combined with International Women's Day. We will rest for four days in a row - from March 8 to 11.

Typically, according to the rules of the Russian production calendar, a holiday that coincides with a weekend (Saturday or Sunday) is transferred to the weekday following the weekend. But such a norm may not be convenient in every year, and then the State Duma approves special schedules. This is what happened with the 2018 work calendar.

Day off on January 6 (included in New Year holidays) fell on a Saturday and was moved to March 9 to “combine” with the weekend of March 8, which this year falls on Thursday.

There are only eight official public holidays, which are non-working days in Russia: these are New Year and Christmas Day, March 8, February 23, May 1, May 9, June 12 and November 4.

A very convenient calendar of holidays in 2018 with shifts with arrows:

Russian legislation provides options for postponing weekends in case any festive event falls on one of the official non-working days- Saturday or Sunday. By the way, Russian Federation refers to those few countries in the world that adhere to such a policy when drawing up the weekend calendar. Our country also belongs to the states where there is one of the largest percentages in the world in the ratio of non-working days to working days.

The material in our article will help you find out how Russia will rest on March 8, 2018.

Holidays and weekends on March 8, 2018

On this wonderful holiday, congratulations will be received by women all over the world, but thanks to the organization of working days and weekends, a special gift from the Government of our country has been prepared for Russian women - four whole holiday (non-working) days (see calendar below).

Because, in 2018, women's holiday falls on Thursday, then accordingly this day will be considered the first non-working day. The main festivities are scheduled for it and, most likely, the majority of congratulations will be on March 8th. The next day - Friday 9.03 also applies to non-working days, because thanks to postponing the weekend, which occurred on the January holidays, one of the days off (01/06) spilled over onto this date (03/09). The next two days refer to calendar weekends: 10.03 - Saturday and 11.03 - Sunday (see in 2018).

Weekend calendar for March 8, 2018

As we have already found out, in 2018 International Women's Day in Russia, holiday weekends are planned from 8.03 to 11.03. Well, to conclude all of the above, it should be mentioned that 7.03 will be a shortened working day (marked in yellow on the calendar), that is, all working citizens will go home an hour earlier.

History of the holiday

No matter how strange it may sound now, historically the March 8th holiday had a political background. It was on this date, many years ago, that a rally was organized, at which revolutionary women came out to defend their rights in society. Only after these actions did the authorities begin to listen to the opinions of the weaker sex. Women were allowed to receive a decent salary on an equal basis with men, choose “male” professions, study in higher educational institutions, and much more.

Congratulations on March 8, 2018

Of course, on this day, every woman, regardless of age, expects a sign of attention from her betrothed, friend, brother, father or just a colleague. And good things modern world allow us to congratulate every woman on her well-deserved holiday in a wide variety of forms.

Even in the event of a catastrophic lack of time or lack of funds, you can use more cunning means: a large number of congratulations can be found on the Internet, invented independently and sent in the form of a digital postcard. Even a regular phone call will be very pleasant, because this is a sign of attention!

It became known that in 2018, Russians, in addition to vacations and “regular” weekends, will have an intensive rest for another 28 days. Full vacation, and paid. This luxury was a consequence of the postponement of weekends due to holidays.

The Commission for the Regulation of Social and Labor Relations supported the draft resolution of the Russian government on the postponement of holidays in 2018. In this regard, Russians will have substantial New Year holidays, “long” holidays on February 23 and March 8, quite decent May holidays, and will also have the opportunity to relax in June and November.

How we relax for the New Year

New Year holidays 2017-2018 will be ten days - from Saturday, December 30, 2017, to Monday, January 8, 2018, inclusive. Thus, the last official working day will be Friday, December 29, and the first working day of the new 2018 will be Tuesday, January 9. Here, as doctors warn, the main thing is to correctly calculate your strength and not get carried away with strong drinks with fatty, high-calorie snacks.

Defender of the Fatherland Day February 23

On Defender of the Fatherland Day Russians will be able to rest for three days - from Friday, February 23, until Sunday, February 25, inclusive. This is convenient because you don’t have to go to work straight from the holiday table.

Women's Day March 8

Women will also be lucky in 2018, at least as far as their holiday is concerned. Traditionally popular in Russia International Women's Day we have to walk and relax for four whole days - from Thursday, March 8, to Sunday, March 11. This is very convenient, because, as after Defender of the Fatherland Day, you don’t have to “get up to the bench” immediately after the hectic celebration.

May beds

The start of the dacha season will also be successful for Russians - on May 1 Russians will be given four days off at once, and this is not counting the lonely May 9.

The May holidays will begin on Sunday, April 29 (Saturday, April 28, you will have to work) and will last four days - until May 2 inclusive.

On Russia Day, which is celebrated on June 12, you will also be able to relax longer - the small summer holidays for working Russians will last from Sunday, June 10, to Wednesday, June 12, inclusive. You will have to work for this on Saturday, June 9th.

Although November 7 It’s not a day off in Russia for a long time, but you can’t cancel the habit of celebrating in the middle of autumn, so we have a holiday National Unity Day, which is celebrated on November 4th. Due to the fact that next year November 4 falls on a Sunday, the Russians were compensated for this loss. Therefore, we will have a rest from Friday, November 3, to Monday, November 5, inclusive.

And there, as they say, the New Year is just around the corner, and, judging by the calendar, from December 29-30, 2018, Russia will again go on a ten-day New Year holiday.

Who is the laziest

Russia ranks first in the world in the number of non-working days. Russians annually receive 40 paid non-working days, consisting of 28 days of vacation and 12 days off due to public holidays.

Women's holiday has its own unique long history. Originating in the 19th century, it became one of the most beloved holidays of the entire people.
