At the same time, the standard working time for a 40-hour work week will be almost 2,000 hours, for a 36-hour week — almost 1,800 hours, and for a 24-hour week — about 1,200 hours.

- The Day of National Unity is a state holiday in Russia on November 4.
- The holiday falls on a Wednesday in 2026.
- A holiday on November 4 will create a shortened workweek in early November.
- The holiday will not result in consecutive days off.
- The workweek will be shortened only on November 3, which will be a reduced workday.
- The standard workweek in Russia is 40 hours, and the monthly work norm is based on this.
