Production calendar for 2021 in Russia. Weekends and holidays in 2021

A production calendar is a convenient tool that an accountant needs to determine the number of days of work and rest, calculate working hours, and so on. With the help of a calendar, an accountant and personnel officer calculate salaries, sick leave, vacation pay, etc. An employee needs a calendar to plan vacations and determine days off.

Every year, the Government approves the schedule according to which citizens of the Russian Federation who work a five-day and six-day week will work and rest. In it, legislators decide which holidays that fall on weekends should be moved to other working days. This year the calendar is based on Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation dated October 10, 2020 No. 1468.

Work time

In accordance with Art. Art. 91, 92 of the Labor Code, in the Russian Federation a gradation of working time is established, namely 24, 35, 36 and 40 hours.

For the convenience of users, our PC 2021:

unifies this scale quarterly with appropriate differentiation;
divides the upper values of the working hours of the scale by the number of working days in the week, that is, calculates the daily rate for each value of the scale;
multiplies daily standard hours by the number of working days in a month to calculate the monthly standard for each of the scale values;
in order to establish the maximum working time values for one year for each value of the scale, it multiplies the daily standard hours by the number of working days in the year as a whole.

Of course, no production calendar can take into account all possible variations of indicators that may exist within the framework of specific employment contracts. That is, the indicators of working time in the PC are leveled at the level of the upper limits of standard hours provided for by the Labor Code of the Russian Federation.

This means that some adjustment will be required in the calculations if the terms of the employment contract do not fit into the framework of standard hours. For example, exceeding the limits provided for by the Labor Code and calculated in our PC-2021 should be spent as overtime hours worked.

Production calendar with a six-day work week

Guided by Article 100 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation, companies have the right to determine a work schedule for the team with one day off (six days). The only day of rest under this system is Sunday.

For a six-day week, as well as for a five-day week, exceeding the duration of total working time per week is unacceptable by more than 40 hours (Article 91 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation).

Holidays

There are two types of holidays - all-Russian, that is, federal and local.

Federal holidays are named in Art. 112 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation and their transfer or cancellation are unacceptable without the adoption of the corresponding federal regulatory act.

This production calendar for 2021 presents all-Russian holidays. As for regional PCs, they include both all-Russian and local holidays of national or religious significance.

Shortened days

In accordance with the Labor Code of the Russian Federation, working hours on the days preceding a holiday are subject to reduction.

In PC-2021, shortened pre-holiday days are marked with a sign (*), which allows the employer not to forget to let employees go early, and the accountant not to miss the reduction in working hours when calculating the actual time worked.

Official holidays in Russia

There are 8 public holidays in 2021, which will additionally add 14 days off for the working population. Holidays are approved by the Russian government and are presented in the table below.

Holidays in 2021	Name of the holiday	Days of rest
January 1-10	New Year's and Christmas	10
February 23	Defender of the Fatherland Day	1
March 6-8	International Women's Day	3
May 1-3	Labour Day	3
May 8-10	Victory Day (76th anniversary)	3
June 12-14	Russia Day	3
November 4	National Unity Day	1

Postponement of holidays in 2021

In cases where a holiday falls on a calendar day off, the day off may be transferred to a working day.

It should be understood that it is not the holiday that is postponed, but the day off on which the holiday falls.

So, in accordance with the provisions of Art. 112 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation, an ordinary day off that coincides with a holiday is transferred to the working day following the holiday.

Since the transfer of days off is permissible only on legal grounds, the opportunity to move it to the next working day arises only as a result of the issuance of the corresponding Government Resolution.

On October 16, 2020, Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation of October 10, 2020 No. 1648 “On the postponement of holidays in 2021”, signed by the Chairman of the Government of the Russian Federation M.V. Mishustin, came into force.

The transfers will be as follows:

From Saturday January 2 to Friday November 5
From Sunday January 3rd to Friday December 31st
From Saturday 20 February to Monday 22 February
From Saturday May 1st to Monday May 3rd
From Sunday 9 May to Monday 10 May
From Saturday 12 June to Monday 14 June
