How days off and leave are counted
Russia

- The government can swap working days and days off by decree.
- The working day before a holiday is 1 h shorter.
- Annual leave is at least 28 calendar days. Holidays are not counted and extend it; transferred days off are charged.
- Days off from New Year holidays that fall on a weekend are moved by decree to any date, even to the end of the year.
