Analyzing the calendar for November 2024 to understand how all the holidays and weekends of the month are located, what important religious dates are present in the last month of autumn, and also what unofficial holidays will be celebrated during this period.
Day of National Unity
The main all-Russian holiday of November is National Unity Day, which in 2024 we will celebrate on Monday November 4th.
The holiday has been celebrated at the federal level since 2005 in honor of the liberation of Moscow in 1612. Also, the date is dedicated to the Day of the Kazan Icon of the Mother of God.
Due to the convenient location of the date, people will get 2 days off in a row - from Sunday 11/03/24 to Monday 11/04/24 inclusive. Saturday 02.11.24 will be working!
Thus, the second working week of the month will be incomplete - only 4 working days.
Production calendar
For more details on how we rest and work in November 2024, the production (labor) calendar will tell. According to the document, the month will be:
- 30 calendar days;
- 21 working days (there are no shortened days in November, as the holiday falls on Monday);
- 9 days off (8 days off and public holiday Monday 11/04/24).
Taking into account the additional day off, the production calendar sets the following working hours for November:
| Work Schedule | Working hours per month |
| 40 hour/week | 168.0 hours |
| 36 hour/week | 151.2 hours |
| 24 hours/week | 100.8 hours |
Please note that the data is based on a standard 5-day workweek.
Holidays of Tatarstan
In the production calendar of the Republic of Tatarstan in November 2024 there will be more days off than in other regions, as additional days of rest are given by holidays not only of federal, but also of regional significance.
In Tatarstan non-working will be:
| Holiday | Date | Day of the week |
| Day of National Unity (state holiday of the Russian Federation) | 04.11.24 | Monday |
| Constitution Day of Tatarstan (regional holiday of Tatarstan) | 06.11.24 | Wednesday |
The arrangement of dates in the November 2024 calendar is very interesting, because, in fact, there is only 1 working day between holidays - Tuesday 11/05/24, which is shortened, since it precedes a regional holiday.
It is likely that at the end of 2024 the transfer of the working day from Tuesday 11/05/24 to one of the next Saturdays will be approved:
- if Saturday 11/02/24 is working, then residents of the region will receive a 4-day rest period from Sunday 11/03/24 to Wednesday 11/06/24;
- if the transfer is carried out on Saturday 11/09/24, then there will be even more rest - 5 days in a row from Saturday 11/02/24 to Wednesday 11/06/24.
Which option (first or second) will be adopted, we will find out at the end of this year. But, since both transfers involve moving the working day within one month, as well as reducing it by 1 hour, the working time of the month will remain unchanged.
Student Calendar
For schoolchildren, the calendar for November 2024 promises long-awaited periods of autumn holidays.
Educational institutions operating in the 2024-2025 academic year according to the system of quarters and semesters will rest from Monday 10/28/24 to Sunday 11/03/24. Thanks to National Unity Day, the second quarter will start on Tuesday 11/05/24.
Schools that have adopted the trimester system as a basis will rest for the first time in October, and at the end of November they will provide students with a second period of autumn rest from Monday 11/18/24 to Sunday 11/24/24.
