In the Spring Festival holiday arrangement in 2024, February 10 to 17 is the Spring Festival holiday, a total of 8 days, and February 9 (Chinese New Year's Eve) is not set as a statutory holiday. Although there is no nominal holiday on Chinese New Year's Eve, ** all units and institutions are encouraged to make flexible arrangements according to the actual situation, so as to create conditions for the people to have an extra day of vacation. The compensatory leave system aims to avoid the fragmentation of holidays, and the compensatory leave arrangement in 2024 shows humanization and flexibility.
In addition, for the first time, it is proposed to encourage the implementation of holiday arrangements in combination with paid annual leave and other systems, and advocate that enterprises and institutions should take holidays as much as possible under the premise of ensuring basic operation. Such arrangements are aimed at more fully guaranteeing workers' right to rest and providing longer and more flexible leave arrangements.
While the law provides for additional wage compensation for overtime work on statutory holidays, for some low-income groups, the overtime pay may not be enough to compensate for the other opportunity costs they lose due to overtime, such as time with family or opportunities to take a break to recharge.
Migrant workers who are still working in their Chinese New Year's Eve face many pressures and challenges. This requires not only self-adjustment and efforts at the individual level, but also the attention and support of all sectors of society, including the reasonable arrangement of enterprises, the improvement of policies, and the construction of community support networks. Only in this way can we better understand and help those migrant workers who still stick to their jobs during the Spring Festival.
Salute to the migrant workers who are still sticking to their posts in those years!
