Who postpones the weekend and why?
In Russia, the Labor Code of the Russian Federation is established, article 112. Non-working holidays 14 non-working holidays:
- January 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8 — New Year holidays;
- 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.
According to the law, if a holiday falls on a Saturday or Sunday, the day off from that day is transferred to the next working day. An exception is made for New Year and Christmas holidays. The government of the Russian Federation distributes weekends from these days at its discretion.
In addition, sometimes it can make some Saturdays work and at their expense lengthen the time of holiday rest. But in 2020 we managed to avoid such casualties.
Typically, rest days fill the awkward gaps between holidays and weekends. For example, if May 9 is Thursday, it is logical to make Friday May 10 a day off so that Russians can plan a trip to their dacha or an extraordinary vacation for four days.
Holidays
If you read the legislation, which holidays and weekends have already been approved in Russia in May 2020? Based on the Labor Code of the Russian Federation, working citizens will get two long days off this month. From 05/01/2020 to 05/05/2020 - 5 days. From 05/09/2020 to 05/11/2020 - 3 days.
As in previous years, deciding how many holidays there are in May 2020 falls within the powers of the government.

And on the 5th, Tuesday, everyone will rest for Sunday, January 5th.
These standards apply to those who continue to work - from home or at work. If an employee sits at home and does not work by order of the president, his rest will continue until the 11th, inclusive. After the 12th, the decision to resume the activities of employers is made by regional authorities, and it is worth relying on such regulatory documents.

Are there time restrictions on being hired to work on weekends?
Question
Is there a limit on the number of hours you can work on a weekend? two days off in a row? number of days per year?
Answer
Labor legislation does not establish restrictions on the number or frequency of attracting workers to work on weekends (including the number of attracting workers to work on weekends per year or any frequency).
Rationale
According to Art. 111 Labor Code of the Russian Federation
All employees are provided with days off (weekly uninterrupted rest). With a five-day work week, employees are given two days off per week, and with a six-day work week - one day off.
Work on weekends and non-working holidays is prohibited, except in cases provided for by the Labor Code of the Russian Federation.
As a general rule, work on weekends and non-working holidays is prohibited, except in cases provided for by the Labor Code of the Russian Federation ( Part 1 of Article 113 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation
).
This article establishes cases when it is permissible to engage an employee to work on weekends and non-working holidays without his consent ( Part 3 of Article 113 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation
), with the written consent of the employee (
Part 2 of Article 113 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation
), with the written consent of the employee and taking into account the opinion of the elected body of the primary trade union organization (if any) (
Part 5 of Article 113 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation
).
Involvement of employees to work on weekends and non-working holidays is carried out with their written consent if it is necessary to perform unforeseen work, on the urgent implementation of which the normal work of the organization as a whole or its individual structural divisions or an individual entrepreneur depends in the future.
Involving employees to work on weekends and non-working holidays without their consent is permitted in the following cases:
1) to prevent a catastrophe, industrial accident or eliminate the consequences of a catastrophe, industrial accident or natural disaster;
2) to prevent accidents, destruction or damage to the employer’s property, state or municipal property;
3) to perform work the need for which is due to the introduction of a state of emergency or martial law, as well as urgent work in emergency circumstances, that is, in the event of a disaster or threat of disaster (fires, floods, famine, earthquakes, epidemics or epizootics) and in other cases, threatening the life or normal living conditions of the entire population or part of it ( Article 113 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation
).
Article 153 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation
Guaranteed increased pay for work on weekends and holidays.
When establishing working hours for an employee and drawing up work schedules, the employer must comply with the provisions of Art. 110 Labor Code of the Russian Federation
on the minimum duration of weekly uninterrupted rest. At the same time, in our opinion, the employer has the right to involve the employee in work on weekends, despite the fact that he does not comply with the above requirements regarding the duration of weekly uninterrupted rest.
Labor legislation does not establish restrictions on the number or frequency of employees being hired to work on weekends.
Restrictions are provided for
in Part 6 of Art.
99 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation , according to which the duration of overtime work should not exceed 4 hours for each employee for two days in a row and 120 hours per year.
However, these restrictions on work on weekends and holidays do not apply ( Decision of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation dated May 21, 2010 N GKPI10-182
).
Thus, labor legislation does not establish restrictions on the number or frequency of attracting workers to work on weekends (including the number of attracting workers to work on weekends per year or any frequency).
