In October, Russians will be switching to a new work schedule: from now on, Saturday will be a working day
In November 2024, Russians will enjoy a pleasant balance between work and rest. The calendar for the coming month includes 21 working days and 9 holidays, which creates optimal conditions for maintaining productivity and preventing overwork. Of particular note are two long weekends on November 3 and 4, dedicated to National Unity Day. This is a great opportunity to relax, travel, or spend time with loved ones. On Saturday, November 2, there will be a shortened working day, which will ensure a smooth transition to the long-awaited rest.
According to the creators of the calendar, such a distribution of working and non-working days will help optimize work processes and increase labor productivity. Alternating stressful periods with proper rest allows workers to restore physical and mental strength, which, in turn, has a positive effect on labor productivity.
But it is worth remembering about local peculiarities. Laws of individual subjects of the Russian Federation may provide for additional days off or holidays that differ from the usual federal calendar. For example, in North Ossetia, the Uastyrdzhi holiday is celebrated on November 20, which makes this day an additional holiday for residents of the republic. Similar situations can be found in other regions where local or traditional holidays are celebrated. Therefore, before planning a holiday or an important event, it is necessary to clarify the schedule of local holidays by referring to official sources of information, such as local government websites or local media.
You should also take into account any changes that may occur to your calendar. Work and rest schedules may be adjusted depending on various circumstances, including vacation rescheduling or federal decisions. Therefore, we recommend that you regularly check the holiday calendar information on the official website to stay up-to-date with changes.
Proper planning of work time and breaks based on an up-to-date calendar is the key to high productivity and well-being. The long weekend at the beginning of November provides an excellent opportunity to plan a variety of leisure activities – from quiet time with family to active sightseeing, visiting cultural events and relaxing in nature. The ability to plan your work in advance will help you use this time effectively and get the most out of it, while getting enough rest. When planning a trip or active recreation, do not forget to follow safety precautions.
