Can't tell the difference between high temperature allowance and heatstroke prevention and cooling fee?
Many people will think that the high temperature allowance and the heatstroke prevention and cooling allowance are the same kind of benefits, and the two are different.
- For different groups of people: the high temperature allowance is for front-line workers working in indoor and outdoor high temperatures, and the heatstroke prevention and cooling fee is for all employees working in high temperature periods;
- The payment method is different: the high temperature allowance can only be paid in cash, and the heatstroke prevention and cooling fee can be paid in cash or goods can be distributed;
- The attribution type is different: the high temperature allowance is a part of the employee's salary, and the heatstroke prevention and cooling fee is a welfare and is not included in the total salary.
03
Is there a summer heat allowance for night shifts?
If there is no high temperature day in June, can the high temperature allowance not be paid?
The conditions for the payment of the high temperature allowance depend only on:
- Whether the working environment is open
- Whether the working environment temperature exceeds 33°C
It does not depend on whether the working hours are day or night, and whether there is hot weather in the month. As long as the conditions for the payment of the high temperature allowance are met, the enterprise should pay the high temperature allowance to the employee.

What should I do if the unit does not pay high temperature allowance?
High temperature allowance is a part of labor remuneration (wages), and the payment of high temperature allowance is the legal obligation of the employer, not a "welfare" that can be paid or not. If the payment is not made in full, it shall be deemed to be in arrears or deducted wages
