Recently, the harm of overtime to employees has attracted widespread attention from the society. A young girl dies suddenly on her way home from overtime, and a probationary college student loses her job because she is unwilling to work overtime. These events have touched people's thinking about the overtime culture.

It's understandable that normal business development and market competition require overtime. When companies are faced with temporary order increases, seasonal changes in business, or urgent customer needs, overtime can indeed solve the urgent needs of the company and increase the income of workers accordingly. However, weResolutely oppose uncontrolled and abnormal overtime

First of all, any extraordinary overtime that breaks the bottom line of laws and regulations is unacceptable. The labor law has clear regulations on employees working overtime, which must be strictly followed by any unit, and there is no room for bargaining. The so-called "996", "5+2", and "white + black" work systems have crossed the boundaries of the law. No matter how tempting these overtime hours are packaged, such as:"Blessing theory", "pursuit theory" or "struggle spirit" should be condemned and stopped by the regulators

Second, we oppose the human resource management mindset that normalizes, perpetuates and benefits overtime. This kind of thinking has led to companies that have been chronically underhired to require employees to work excessive overtime in order to reduce employment costs, and even appear".One person is used by two people". This practice of alleviating the long-term mismatch between labor and business volume growth through extraordinary overtime is undoubtedly harmful to workers.

In addition, we oppose all overtime practices that force workers to work overtime of their will, especially those that create the appearance of "voluntary" overtime. Enterprises need employees to work overtime, and this should not be solved by simply paying overtime pay, but should be negotiated with labor unions and workers.

For businesses, time is money;For workers, time is a life at their disposal and an unrepeatable life. Forcing or covertly forcing workers to work overtime effectively deprives them of their right to free control over their lives.

Finally, we will resolutely oppose all excessive overtime that endangers or may endanger the physical and mental health of employees. Although overtime can increase income, create corporate vitality and economic benefits, excessive overtime that endangers health will not only subvert the value of labor and distort the meaning of work, but also lead workers and their families to the opposite of their dreams!Safe and healthy work is efficient work.

As we enter a new era of high-quality development and high-quality life, we should rely on "fuller and higher-quality employment" to create a better future. Let's work together to create a fairer, more reasonable and more efficient working environment!
