Military personnel, as well as civilians, have the right to provide them with legal rest, sick leave, as well as the opportunity to receive additional leave. The terms of provision and the number of days are strictly regulated by the legislation of the Russian Federation. Additional leave for military personnel is set for a certain period, made in order to provide an opportunity to restore health, study and pass exams in educational institutions, as well as to solve various personal problems.
Justification for the provision of additional rest
Extra leave by the military is a separate type of holiday. The regulatory documents governing the provision of military personnel rest days that are not included in the main leave are the Decree of the President of the Russian Federation No. 1237 chap. 7., Federal Law No. 76 of 08/03/2018 and other documents.
In addition, optional protocols have been adopted in all regions and military units that establish the procedure for granting additional leave to military personnel. Most of the holidays are planned and included in a special schedule. There are also unforeseen weekends, which are issued on the spot due to the urgency of the situation.
Additional days to leave by military personnel (their conditions and duration) are caused by reasons and circumstances requiring their provision.
Study leave
Contract employees entering or receiving training at military departments and universities are entitled to study or vacation leave.
For officers preparing for admission to educational institutions on the basis of a issued order of the military leadership, additional days of rest from service are provided:
- for admitted to the exam - 30 days;
- for the defense of candidates - 10 days per item.
If tests are not required for admission, then additional leave is not provided to military personnel.
However, most often the military, especially those holding high posts, are studying in doctoral studies or in postgraduate study in absentia. In such cases, an extra day for vacation is provided to military personnel every week during the academic semester. In the last year of study, at the request of the employee, two additional days are possible.
In addition, the military laid a month to defend a candidate or dissertation. Candidates of a scientific degree can count on a longer period: doctors of science are given about 6 months, candidates of science - 3 months.

Additional holidays for contract servicemen can only be extended for a month. Thus, the total duration of a military absence due to illness cannot be more than four months, not including cases provided for by the legislation of the Russian Federation. With longer treatment, the question is raised about the suitability of the officer for further service.
Additional leave for military personnel for recreational or rehabilitation procedures is regulated by the commanding staff of the federal body authorized at the local level where military service is conducted.

Holidays for personal reasons

Leave for years of service
The main rest of employees is calculated depending on military experience. If you have more than 10 years of service, another 5 days are added to the main vacation, more than 15 years - 10 days. The law provides for additional leave for seniority of servicemen whose service life is 20 years. The military can use this right only once, during the last three years before the end of the service or in the year of dismissal. Weekends are one month (30 days).

On the basis of the Federal Law "On Veterans", employees performing their duties in the territory where hostilities take place also have the right to a weekend (in addition to the main period).

For military citizens who are participants in the liquidation of the disaster at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant, the period is 14 days for each year.
Extra leave for hardship in hazardous conditions

- for the performance of military duties in areas equated to the north - 10 days;
- for work in remote areas with an unfavorable natural background - 5 days.
Fulfillment of military duty at high risk is also encouraged on weekends - up to 15 days.
Often, the number of all available additional days is added up and added to the main vacation. However, a serviceman has every right to apply the weekend set for him separately or to use them even before the onset of the main rest.
The length of annual leave for military personnel has some limitations. The total number of days off per year should not exceed - 60 days or 2 months. Such requirements do not apply to certain types of holidays, the duration of which is regulated by the Federal Law of the Russian Federation.

In the event that additional time was not spent during the year, the transfer of vacation to the next year is allowed.
For servicemen awaiting dismissal, all accumulated days off are provided in full within a year until the moment of leaving the service. The prescribed days in some cases, at the request of the officer, are replaced by material compensation. The military, officially registered as candidates for deputies, may be released from service until the public announcement of the voting results.
