With the summer heatwave, are you looking forward to an extra "surprise" on your salary card? According to China News Network, 31 provinces have made it clear that when the temperature soars above 35°C, there may be a benefit called "high temperature allowance" added to your salary! However, is the money really as simple as you think? Today, let me take you through the three secrets behind the heat allowance!
Secret 1: How much is your heat allowance?
You may not know that although the national high temperature allowance standard is concentrated between 100 yuan and 300 yuan, the specific amount varies from place to place. For example, in a city in the south, due to the generally high summer temperatures, the high temperature allowance standard is relatively high, and even reaches the "ceiling" of 300 yuan per month. In some northern cities, the amount of heat allowance is relatively low due to the relatively short summers. This makes people wonder: why is the same hot weather so different?
Secret 2: How do you prove that you are "hot" enough?
The conditions for the payment of the high temperature allowance may seem simple, but it is not easy. First of all, you need to prove that your working environment is indeed up to the standard of the high temperature allowance. Usually, you need to provide valid evidence such as timesheets, weather forecasts, etc. In practice, however, this evidence is often difficult to collect. For example, some workers work outdoors and can't check the weather forecast at all times; Some employers may knowingly conceal or tamper with attendance records. All of this puts workers at a disadvantage in defending their rights.
Secret 3: What should I do if the high temperature allowance is "deducted"?
More worryingly, although the heat allowance is a legitimate interest of workers, some employers still choose to "deduct" or "delinquen". According to a report released by an authoritative organization, the number of labor dispute cases caused by high temperature allowance has been on the rise in recent years. This makes people sigh: Is the heat allowance really a "can send or not" benefit for employers?
If the employer is in arrears of allowances, the employee should first try to file a formal complaint with the labor union of the employer, so that the union can start a dialogue with the employer on behalf of the employee and fight for the rights and interests due to the employee. If the employer has not set up a trade union, employees can also report it by calling the citizen service hotline 12345 or the complaint hotline set up by the human resources and social security department 12333, so as to effectively protect the legitimate rights and interests of individuals from infringement.
Netizens are hotly discussed: Is the high temperature allowance a benefit or a "chicken rib"?
Netizens also expressed different opinions on the payment of the high temperature allowance. Some people believe that the heat allowance is a perk that workers deserve, as compensation for their hard work in the heat; But some people think that the high temperature allowance is too low, the conditions are too harsh, and even a little "chicken ribs". So, do you think the heat allowance is a benefit or a "chicken rib"?
The conditions of the high temperature allowance are very harsh, which makes the company unhappy, and the worst case is that the job is gone
The workers and peasants who really worked under the big sun did not?
It's infuriating! If you don't send it, you can't put the boss how!
The payment of high temperature allowance should be done with care and respect for workers, but there are many problems and controversies in practice. We look forward to the relevant authorities to strengthen supervision and law enforcement to ensure that the heat allowance truly benefits every worker.
