Recently, Mr. Hu Xijin issued some suggestions on the Spring Festival holiday arrangements in 2024, and he called on enterprises to respond to the country's call to take a holiday on Chinese New Year's Eve. This suggestion has been endorsed by **, and the relevant notice also clearly encourages all units to combine paid annual leave and other systems to arrange employees to rest on Chinese New Year's Eve. Mr. Hu Xijin said that this day will be arranged as an actual holiday, and they will spend an unprecedented nine-day Spring Festival holiday in history. He also mentioned the idea of deducting annual paid leave, and hoped that everyone would be more tolerant and understanding when allocating leave.
Mr. Hu Xijin shared his views in his advice on the Chinese New Year's Eve holiday. First, he pointed out that many people often don't fully enjoy their annual paid leave, so an extra day off on Chinese New Year's Eve isn't a bad thing. Secondly, for those organizations that are able to implement an annual paid leave system, he suggested that they should not be too concerned about the specific number of days of leave. Do employees receive reasonable compensation for their overtime work?So that everyone can take an extra day off during the Spring Festival, and do not have to carefully retrieve this day from the annual paid leave, such an arrangement reflects a kind of humanistic care. Finally, Mr. Hu Xijin stressed that although the Chinese New Year's Eve holiday has not yet been legally recognized as a holiday, the entire society should share the additional costs it brings.
Mr. Hu Xijin's suggestion has aroused extensive discussion in the current society. He hopes that by adjusting the Spring Festival holiday, people will have a longer rest time and enjoy a better life. Such an arrangement can not only meet people's needs for leisure, gatherings and family affection, but also help promote the prosperity and development of tourism, culture and entertainment industries. Taking Chinese New Year's Eve as an actual holiday and not deducting annual paid leave is a sign of respect for employees' rights and interests, reflecting society's concern for work-life balance.
Let's work together in the 2023 Post Sprint Race to respond to the call of the country with tolerance and understanding, so that next year's Spring Festival will be a lively and fulfilling holiday. Only with the joint efforts and cooperation of the whole society can such holiday arrangements become a precedent in the future and gradually fixed, so that everyone can enjoy more joy and relaxation during the Spring Festival.
