Трудовой кодекс РФ (Статья 112)

Нерабочие праздничные дни в Российской Федерации

Перечень нерабочих праздничных дней в России установлен статьей 112 Трудового кодекса Российской Федерации (ТК РФ). Порядок переноса выходных дней ежегодно утверждается отдельным Постановлением Правительства РФ для оптимизации производственного календаря и создания длинных каникул.

Правило переноса выходных

Часть 2 Статьи 112 ТК РФ

При совпадении выходного и нерабочего праздничного дней выходной день переносится на следующий после праздничного рабочий день, либо решением Правительства РФ перераспределяется на другие месяцы (например, дни январских каникул присоединяются к майским праздникам).

Оплата труда

Двойная оплата (Статья 153 ТК РФ)

Работа в нерабочий праздничный день оплачивается не менее чем в двойном размере (по двойным сдельным расценкам или двойной часовой/дневной ставке). По желанию работника ему может быть предоставлен другой день отдыха (отгул).

Финансовая система

Банк России & Московская Биржа

Банк России приостанавливает работу системы банковских электронных срочных платежей (БЭСП) в праздничные дни. Московская Биржа (MOEX) публикует отдельный регламент торгов, открывая валютный и фондовый рынки в специально назначенные рабочие субботы и праздничные окна. Системы СБП работают круглосуточно.

Новогодние каникулы в России

Период с 1 по 8 января (включая Рождество Христово 7 января) образует единые общенациональные Новогодние каникулы, являясь самым продолжительным нерабочим периодом в производственном календаре РФ.
