Calculation
What a day off means under the law
The Labour Code has no word «отгул» (day off). It usually means one of four options, and the wording of the request depends on which one:
Unpaid — leave without pay (Art. 128 of the Labour Code of the Russian Federation, TK RF).
For working on a day off — a day of rest instead of double pay (Art. 153 TK RF). The work on the day off is then paid at the single rate.
From annual leave — part of your annual paid leave, taken as one or several days.
Donor day — a paid day of rest after giving blood (Art. 186 TK RF).
How to arrange it
The request is addressed to the head of the organisation in advance and agreed with your line manager. The employer then issues an order. Do not take the day without approval: your absence could be treated as truancy (unauthorised absence).

Frequently asked questions
Can I take a day off without my manager's consent?
No, except where the employer is obliged to grant unpaid leave under Art. 128 TK RF. Leaving without permission is a breach of discipline.
When should I use a day of rest earned by working on a day off?
The law sets no time limit, but it is better to agree a date soon and state in the request which day off it is being given for.
