Production calendar for 2021 with holidays and days off

General information about the production calendar

There are a total of 365 calendar days in 2021. However, there are quite a few holidays in Russia. They also include weekends (with a six-day work week - Sunday). How not to get confused and correctly distribute working time norms during the “six-day work week”? Moreover, if we are talking about accounting, then working days, holidays and weekends must be taken into account when calculating vacation pay, travel allowances and when preparing reports. For this purpose, the production calendar for 2021 is being formed with a six-day working week.

Production calendar: what is it for?

The concept of “production calendar” is inextricably linked with working time. After all, the production calendar marks all working and non-working days (weekends and holidays). Based on the production calendar, employers (organizations and individual entrepreneurs) can organize the working hours of their employees in 2021.

The production calendar contains both general quarterly information about the number of working days and days off, as well as information for each month. Such information allows you to calculate wages, pay sick leave, calculate vacation or draw up a work schedule. Employees, in turn, can choose the most favorable period for vacation. In other words, the production calendar for 2021 is a universal document that can become the basis for the rational distribution of working time and when maintaining a time sheet in the next year.

Such a concept as “production calendar” is not disclosed in the legislation of the Russian Federation. Therefore, “popularly” it is called differently. So, for example, there are such variations:

• calendar of working days;
• time calendar;
• labor calendar;
• work calendar;
• working time calendar;
• working hours calendar;
• annual working time calendar;

What does the Labor Code of the Russian Federation say about non-working days?

Non-working holidays in the Russian Federation are:

• January 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 8 – New Year;
• January 7 – Christmas;
• February 23 – Defender of the Fatherland Day;
• March 8 – International Women's Day;
• May 1 – Spring and Labor Day;
• May 9 – Victory Day;
• June 12 – Russia Day;
• November 4 is National Unity Day.

This list of non-working holidays is fixed and does not change from year to year. It is enshrined in Article 112 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation.

Holidays non-working days

It is noteworthy that holidays most influence the everyday life of Russians. To optimize work and rest time, officials annually postpone weekends and working days, based on the list of holidays and non-working days from Article 112 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation:

• New Year holidays - from January 1 to January 8;
• Defender of the Fatherland Day - February 23;
• International Women's Day - March 8;
• Labor Day - May 1;
• Victory Day - May 9;
• Russia Day - June 12;
• National Unity Day - November 4.

These non-working days are repeated annually, along with Saturdays and Sundays. However, officials can arrange a “long weekend” through postponements.

For example, they make Saturday a working day, and Monday a day of rest, or “throw away” unused ones, thanks to the legal postponement of the dates of the New Year holidays. What it is? This is an opportunity directly prescribed in the Labor Code of the Russian Federation.

What transfers to 2021 do not apply to the six-day period?

Article 112 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation provides that the transfer of days off is carried out for the purpose of rational planning of working time in organizations and taking into account the interests of various categories of citizens of the Russian Federation in creating conditions for proper rest. For these purposes, Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation of October 14, 2021 No. 1250 “On the transfer of weekends in 2021” provides for the following shift of weekends:

Thus, the following weekends have been postponed to 2021:

• Saturday 6 January to Friday 9 March;
• Sunday 7 January to Wednesday 2 May.
• Also, to optimize rest time, weekends have been swapped with working days (Saturdays will be working days, and Mondays will be days off):
• Saturday 28 April to Monday 30 April;
• Saturday 9 June to Monday 11 June;
• Saturday 29 December to Monday 31 December.

One holiday - May 9, 2021, in honor of Victory Day, will have a rest during the week.

In a six-day work week, Saturdays are not days off, which means that these transfers are not provided for a six-day work week.

For those working on a six-day week, March 9, April 30, June 11 and December 31, 2021 will remain working days, since the transfer of weekends to these dates is planned from Saturdays that coincide with non-working holidays, and for the “six-day week” Saturday is not a day off.

“New Year holidays” for those working on a “six-day week” will last from January 1 to January 8, 2021.

Due to the postponement of January 7 to May 2, workers with a six-day working week in 2021 will have two consecutive days off for the May holidays - May 1-2.

Shortened working days with a reduction in working hours by one hour in 2021 for six-day workers will be February 22, March 7, April 30, May 8, June 11, November 3, December 31.

How holidays are rescheduled in 2021

Article 112 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation establishes that the transfer of days off is carried out for the purpose of rational planning of working time in organizations and taking into account the interests of various categories of citizens of the Russian Federation in creating conditions for proper rest. For these purposes, Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation of October 14, 2021 No. 1250 “On the transfer of weekends in 2021” provides for the following shift of weekends:

Also see Calendar 2021.

As you can see, the weekends of January 6 and 7 (Saturday and Sunday) 2018, coinciding with non-working holidays, have been moved to March 9 and May 2, respectively. Rest days from Saturday 28 April, Saturday 9 June and Saturday 29 December have been moved to Monday 30 April, Monday 11 June and Monday 31 December respectively. Taking into account such postponements, the 2021 calendar includes six long weekends and holidays:

• from December 30, 2021 to January 8, 2021 inclusive (10 days of New Year holidays);
• from February 23 to 25 (3 days on Defender of the Fatherland Day);
• from March 8 to 11 (4 days - International Women's Day);
• from April 29 to May 2 (4 days – Spring and Labor Festival);
• from June 10 to 12 (3 days – Russia Day);
• from November 3 to 5 (3 days - National Unity Day).

One holiday - May 9, 2021, in honor of Victory Day, will have a rest during the week.

There will be three working Saturdays in 2021 - April 28, June 9 and December 29.

Production calendar for 2021 with a six-day week

Here is the production calendar for 2021 with a six-day working week:

Below we present a quarterly production calendar for a six-day work week (with weekends and holidays). Taking into account all the transfers, the production calendar for a six-day working week will look like this (pre-holiday days, when the working day is reduced by 1 hour, are marked with an asterisk*):

Working time standards for 2021 in the production calendar

So, all norms for the number of weekends and working days, as well as the number of working hours for 40-, 36-, 24-hour work weeks can be combined into one visual table:

Clarifications on working time standards

Art. Art. 91 and 92 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation standardize the working hours for certain categories of workers:

• generally accepted - 40-hour work week;
• for company employees under 16 years old – up to 24 hours/week;
• from 16 to 18 years – up to 35 hours/week;
• for disabled people of 1st and 2nd degree – up to 35 hours/week;
• for workers in hazardous and heavy industries – up to 36 hours/week.

There are also special regimes for students and part-time workers. According to the Labor Code of the Russian Federation and Order of the Ministry of Health and Social Development No. 588n dated August 13, 2009, any company by collective agreement can establish a different working time, which cannot exceed the maximum established by the Labor Code.

Important!

• In organizations with summarized time recording for periods equal to a month or a year or another period of time, their daily, weekly and monthly norms are calculated based on the work period norms established in the Labor Code of the Russian Federation.
• When accounting for overtime in aggregate, work on holidays and weekends included in this period will not be recognized. This is considered to be overtime processing.
• So, if the period is the 3rd quarter of 2021, then the norm will be 520 hours. This means that overtime is recognized as time worked from 521 hours.
• It is worth noting that there will be no violation of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation in this case, since payment for work on holidays/weekends will have to be made in double amount.

But in any case, the daily rate is calculated from the standard assumption about the length of the week - 5/2. Even if the organization is on a 6-day schedule. The norm is calculated by dividing the weekly time by 5:

• 40 hours / 5 = 8 hours
• 36h. / 5 = 7.2 hours.
• 24 hours / 5 = 4.8 hours
• And so on.

The standard version of the production calendar takes into account all working time standards provided for by the Labor Code of the Russian Federation. The accountant can only find out the category of the employee in order to calculate his salary.

The monthly norm (MN) is calculated based on the daily norm (DN):

DN* number of working days in a month = MN,

if a reduction in working hours is expected in a month due to a subsequent holiday, then the number of hours of reduction is subtracted from the MT.

For example, the monthly working hours in November 2021 with a 5-day (40-hour) week:

(40 hours / 5)* 21 = 8*21 = 168 hours.

The annual working hours are calculated using the formula:

DN* number of working days in a year – “decreasing” hours.

Standard working hours for a six-day week

In accordance with Article 100 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation, a number of organizations and enterprises establish a six-day working week with one day off for their employees. The general day off is Sunday (Article 111 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation).

The normal working hours for a six-day working week, as well as for a five-day one, cannot exceed 40 hours per week (Article 91 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation).

For a six-day working week in accordance with the Procedure, approved. By Order of the Ministry of Health and Social Development of Russia dated August 13, 2009 N 588n, the standard working time is also calculated according to the calculated schedule of a five-day work week with two days off on Saturday and Sunday, based on the duration of daily work (shift).

In accordance with Part 1 of Article 95 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation, the duration of the working day or shift immediately preceding a non-working holiday is reduced by one hour. With a 6-day working week on the eve of the weekend, the duration of work cannot exceed 5 hours (part three of Article 95 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation).

The standard working time calculated in the specified order applies to all work and rest regimes.

By whom and how are working hours set?

The standard of time intended for employment is a parameter that is established at the legislative level, and also applies to all labor regimes of citizens (Order of the Ministry of Health and Social Development of the Russian Federation No. 588n dated August 13, 2009).

The time frame of the workday is fixed based on the official standard working hours - the first 5 days of the week with 2 days off on Saturday and Sunday, as well as the duration of the employee’s shift itself.

In the generally accepted format (40-hour work week), 8 work hours is the standard duration of one day. Shortened options - 36- and 24-hour workweeks, assume a workday of 7.2 and 4.8 hours per day, respectively.

It is also important to note that the directives of Article 95 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation indicate a reduction in the working day by 1 hour on the eve of an official holiday.

How to relax in November 2021 with a six-day work week

Most of the holidays in 2021, which are non-working days, are already behind us. The New Year holidays, the holidays of March 8 and February 23 have flown by, Victory Day is celebrated on May 9 and Russia Day on June 12. There is only 1 holiday left ahead, which falls in November. And this is a great chance to take yourself a mini-vacation in the middle of the November slush.

In November 2021, in addition to the usual weekends at the end of the week for Russians, there will be another non-working day, namely November 4. This date in Russia marks National Unity Day, which replaced the holiday in honor of the October Revolution of 1917.

Since the holiday falls on a Sunday this year, the day off is moved to Monday, November 5th.

Thus, with a six-day working week, workers will rest for 2 days - November 4 and 5; Saturday, November 3 will be working, but working hours will be reduced by an hour.

And here is the production calendar of the Republic of Bashkortostan for 2021

In the first quarter of 2021, three long weekends await us: New Year holidays (that’s it), 3 days for Defenders of the Fatherland Day (we are waiting, preparing gifts) and 4 days for International Women’s Day (what will we give our women?).

Cool? Yes. And it turned out this way because of postponements: one day from the New Year holidays, which falls on Saturday (January 6), was postponed to March 9. The Christmas holiday, which also falls on a bank holiday, has been moved to 2 May.

And now the pictures!

The second quarter will also delight the residents of Bashkiria with three long weekends: 4 days for the May Day holidays, 3 days for Russia Day and 3 days for Uraza Bayram (these are the advantages of living in Bashkiria - national holidays).

At the same time, 2 Saturdays in this quarter will be working days: the day off from Saturday, April 28 is moved to April 30, and from June 9 - to Monday, June 11.

But the third quarter will pass practically without holidays: there will be only one day of rest for Kurban Bayram. There is no need to be sad, because residents of other parts of Russia (except for some) will not have too much rest at all (only on weekends).

The fourth quarter will give three days off for National Unity Day (November 3–5) and one day off for the Day of the Republic of Bashkortostan (October 11).

And the day off from Saturday, December 29, has been moved to December 31, which is also good, at least you won’t have to work on the last day of 2018.
