The 2020 statutory holiday adjustment plan has been announced, which is quite different from previous years.
New Year's Day, January 1 is a Wednesday, a single day off. Instead of using other weekends as in previous years, I forced a three-day long holiday.
Spring Festival, January 24 to January 30, 7 days long holiday is normal. Still Chinese New Year's Eve on vacation, the seventh grade of work. However, people who hope that the first day of the holiday is a little disappointed.
Qingming, April 4 to April 6, Saturday to Monday, very normal three days of small long holiday.
Dragon Boat Festival, June 25 to June 27, Thursday to Saturday, Sunday work.
The National Day and mid-autumn festival have met again, and it is an 8-day long holiday from October 1 to 8, which is merged together.
The most special thing is actually May Day, which is closed for 5 days from May 1 to 5, and is adjusted to normal work on Sunday, April 26 and Saturday, May 9. However, the pressure on everyone is not very large, April 26 to April 30 is 5 days of work, May 6 to May 9 is 4 days of work. For everyone, taking 5 days of annual leave can even take 11 consecutive days off.
It seems that there is a trend to resume the Labor Day holiday. Many young people may not understand the past May Day holiday, which is actually a 7-day holiday.
On December 14, 2007, the State Council of the People's Republic of China revised for the second time the Measures for the Holidays of National New Year's Festivals and Anniversaries, adding three new statutory holidays of the Dragon Boat Festival, the Mid-Autumn Festival and the Qingming Festival, highlighting the characteristics of our traditional Chinese culture. However, in order to ensure the stable period of the holiday, the three-day statutory holiday on May Day was adjusted to one day. In this way, the actual statutory holiday has only increased from 10 days to 11 days, an increase of one day.
Cai Jiming, a professor at Tsinghua University, said that he had suggested canceling the May 17 long holiday. Because many people don't like to change, plus the May Day holiday is a rare opportunity for people to rest and travel. Therefore, he has also been criticized by netizens for a long time. In fact, this matter belongs to the controversy of public opinion and reason, and the mother-in-law is justified. But overall, everyone's statutory holidays are still more, although travel may not feel that three days is just very convenient.
However, many people have overlooked another major measure of the state to change the holiday, that is, the "Regulations on Paid Annual Leave for Employees" was also implemented from January 1, 2008.
According to the Regulations on Paid Annual Leave for Employees, employees who have worked for more than one year can enjoy paid annual leave, which can be enjoyed for 5 days, 10 days and 15 days according to the number of years of work. As we said earlier, if you take 5 days of paid annual leave, the May Day holiday can become 11 days, which is far more enjoyable than the past 7 days.
Therefore, after adjusting the small long vacation, coupled with paid annual leave, everyone will benefit. People's vacations are more free and should be welcomed by more people.
However, I also understand the reasons for some people's objections. That is, many companies have not implemented paid annual leave, and after the original 7-day long holiday has been dispersed, in fact, the opportunity for employees to go out to play is much less. Therefore, some people will also have opinions.
However, can enterprises not implement paid annual leave? Of course not. The Regulations on Paid Annual Leave for Employees make it clear that the administrative department of labor security may investigate and punish the employer's failure to implement paid annual leave. Employees may defend their rights with the labor inspection department through complaints, reports, etc.
On the issue of paid annual leave, it is not a matter of taking time off if you want to. Enterprises shall, in the case of soliciting the opinions of employees, make their own arrangements according to the production and operation situation, that is to say, the enterprise occupies the dominant power. If the enterprise does not arrange for the employee to take paid annual leave, it may not arrange paid annual leave with the consent of the employee, but shall pay the annual leave wage remuneration according to 300% of the employee's daily wage standard.
Therefore, on the whole, society is constantly improving, and the adjustment of the May Day holiday time is also the state's reply to everyone's call for the resumption of the May Day holiday. It is difficult to restore the May 17 long holiday, but the future paid annual leave regulations will certainly be more and more implemented, so that everyone's free rest time will be more and more. When people come into contact with a thing, it is always popularized, such as our social insurance, which has been implemented for more than 20 years, and the pension insurance participation rate is only about 40%. With the progress of society, the future will certainly be better.
