How we will rest during the New Year holidays is marked in the calendar published by the Ministry of Labor. The holidays will last only seven days, but the first month will include several more significant dates:

  • 01. — traditionally celebrated Old New Year;

How will they cope with the weekend?

 

The Ministry of Labor regularly approves the working calendar. Non-working days are often transferred to other months.

The New Year holiday in Russia will last 10 days, and in connection with this, in 2025 there will be 3 days off, moved from January to May - the 2nd, 3rd and 10th.

The plan will be approved in December 2023. Additional days off are created because January 6 and 7 are Saturday and Sunday, which are already non-working days at many enterprises. Instead, people will be able to rest on Thursday and Friday, May 2 and 3, respectively. After the New Year's holiday, people will return to work, and children to school - on January 8. It should be a day off, but this non-working day will be compensated on May 10, 2025.

Thanks to this plan, the May holiday will last 5 days from May 1 to 5, and the second non-working period will increase to 4 days - from May 9 to 12.

Thus, in May there will be the same number of days off as in the first month.

Working hours standards

The first month will have 18 working days and 13 non-working days, including a holiday for the New Year holidays in honor of the arrival of 2025. There will be 366 days in the year, as it is a leap year. People will work 248 days and rest 118 days on Saturdays, Sundays and special dates.
