In Ukraine, today is a day off. In accordance with Article 67 of the Labor Code, if a holiday or non-working day coincides with a Saturday or Sunday, the day off is postponed the day after the holiday or non-working day.

Actually, what I want to say about this. You can, of course, resent the soviet tradition of transferring the weekend to a working day - as a historical factor of the general drunkenness adopted in the KZOT and written back in the time of Khrushchev. But in fact, with the existing productivity of labor in the national average, the abolition of a few days off does not at all affect the state of the economy in the state. Developed countries increase productivity through technology and labor automation, which allows them to reduce the working day, bringing the working week to 35 hours. In Ukraine, employers, in order to increase productivity, instead of introducing new technologies, hire more workers. This is due to extremely low labor productivity - in order for our compatriot to produce as many goods and services as for example the German, he needs to work not 40 hours a week, as now, but 200.

Therefore, taking into account the speed of development of world technologies and active replacement of people by robots, it will soon be cheaper not to work at all, but to receive a guaranteed minimum income from the IMF trench, engaging in wreaths for days on end, singing songs, studying combat hopak and collecting tree bark for a festive campfire in To repel the Dnieper mermaids.
