Nobody likes to work so much, How to relax! In 2019, the May holidays are big and long. How do we walk this year?
How we walk in May 2019 in Russia
As we all know, in May we celebrate two public holidays. This is the holiday of Spring and Labor and Victory Day. How do we rest in May in 2019? This year the holidays are very long with a total of 9 days. So from May 1 to May 5 - we walk for 5 days and celebrate the holiday of Spring and Labor, and Victory Day - 4 days from May 9 to 12. May is the last month of spring and should be warm enough, especially in the southern regions. Many go to nature to have a good time with family and friends. Before planning your vacation, check the production calendar, which can be found on the website of the Ministry of Labor of the Russian Federation. It is presented in the form of a table, where you can clearly see how many working days and days off. This year's May holidays are somewhat longer than in previous years. There are only 18 working days and one of them will be shortened. The short working date falls on May 8th. The increase in weekends in May was due to the postponement of weekends from January and February. The last holiday falls on the 12th and working days begin on Monday.
Labor veterans are usually honored on the first of May, and they are congratulated on the holiday. Events and concerts are held in cities. On Victory Day, military parades are held in cities, various army units, modern equipment are demonstrated, aviation is sure to take part in the events. Many people go out to honor the memory of our ancestors and to lay flowers at the eternal fire. The guests of honor are war veterans, for them it is not only a festive day, but also a day of bitterness for a colleague, relatives who died during the war. Every year there are fewer veterans. Parades do not lose their relevance. Recently, a movement called the "Immortal Regiment" has been topical. The number of participants in this action is growing every year, in 2018 there were 10.3 million people. Fireworks are an integral part of this holiday, thousands of small lights illuminate the sky in all cities of our country in honor of the Great Victory!
Shift work schedule
What about employees who work on shifts or irregular hours? According to the legislation of the Russian Federation, labor on holidays is calculated according to a double tariff plan. If your pay does not double, then you may be given time off that pays. The opportunity to earn a little extra money may please some employees.
A long vacation in the last month of spring is also not very successful for schoolchildren. Ahead are serious exams, final tests and it is better to devote this time to preparation.
