The lawyer explained when it is more advantageous to take a vacation in 2026.
This winter, Russians can expect long New Year holidays from December 31 to January 11 inclusive. Additional days off in 2026 are also expected in February (February 21-23), March (March 7-9), May (May 1-3 and 9-11), June (June 12-14), and November (November 4). The longest rest periods fall in January and May. According to lawyer Alexander Yuzhalin, it is inadvisable to take leave during these months.
The expert explains that if an employee earns a salary, their monthly pay remains unchanged, but the number of working days does not. Therefore, the cost of one working day in January or May is higher than in other months. Vacation pay is calculated based on the average annual salary. This means that vacation in January and May will be paid less than regular workdays.
The most advantageous month for taking a vacation is July. April, September, October, and December also show good figures. For those wishing to extend their days off, it is possible to take leave immediately after holidays, but one should remember the potential financial loss.
