The new version of the Labor Law in 2024 was officially released not long ago, marking the comprehensive improvement and refinement of the protection of workers' rights and interests. This latest version of the law introduces a series of key changes that have played a positive role in strengthening the protection of workers. Among them, the provisions on compensation are more specific and clear. According to the new regulations, verbal dismissal has been included in the scope of dismissal, and employers must pay N+1 compensation, which will provide a strong guarantee for the protection of employees' rights and interests.
Another important change is the provision of overtime pay. The new law stipulates that the working hours shall not exceed 8 hours per day, and overtime shall be paid for the excess part. For the first time, this version clearly stipulates that clocking in and out can be used as a legal basis, providing a practical basis for the protection of workers' rights and interests. At the same time, the company is not allowed to unilaterally adjust the employee's position and reduce the salary, and must obtain the employee's consent and pay N+1 compensation. Finally, the Labor Law also clarifies the provisions on the probationary period, stipulating that three days' notice must be given when terminating an employment contract during the probationary period, and stipulates that the corresponding compensation standard is n+1.
These changes provide a solid legal foundation for the protection of workers' rights and interests, and help safeguard the legitimate interests of workers. The promulgation of the new Labor Law indicates that the society attaches great importance to the protection of workers' rights and interests, and also creates a more favorable environment for social fairness and justice.
