How ежегодный отпуск in Russia is calculated
Article 115: *"Ежегодный основной оплачиваемый отпуск предоставляется работникам продолжительностью 28 календарных дней."* The unit is **calendar** days, so Saturdays and Sundays inside the leave count toward it: 28 calendar days is **20 working days** on a five-day week and 24 on a six-day one.
**Since 2024, working people with disabilities get at least 30 calendar days** — a part added to article 115 by Federal Law 268-ФЗ of 8 August 2024. Non-working public holidays that fall inside the leave are not counted and extend it (art. 120).
Many groups get more by statute — longer basic leave for minors and teachers, additional leave for harmful conditions, irregular hours and the Far North (art. 116) — none of which is modelled here. The right to leave in the first year arises after six months with the employer (art. 122).
