China's "two-day holiday" system turned out to be almost 30 years old
In China,"Saturdays and Sundays"The system has been around for almost 30 years. In 1995, China officially implemented a five-day work week, marking the beginning of the two-day holiday system. However, despite the fact that the law stipulates weekends, in practice, there are not many migrant workers who can actually enjoy the weekends. Especially in private enterprises, the implementation of the two-day holiday system faces many challenges.
On the one hand, China's labor law does stipulate that workers should not work more than 40 hours per week and no more than 8 hours per day, and should have at least one day off. But in practice,"996"The workweek (i.e., a 9-hour workday, 6 days a week) is popular in many tech companies, and some are even more restrictive.
On the other hand, for many part-time workers, especially those working in high-pressure and competitive industries, overtime has become the norm. They may not be able to enjoy a full weekend due to the demands of their work. Some employees even choose to work overtime in order to accumulate compensatory time.
In addition, although the relevant authorities have begun to explore such as "25-day short vacation" and other new leave systems to improve employees' rest time and quality of life, but the implementation of these measures still faces many challenges.
In general, although the two-day system has been legally stipulated in China, there are still many problems in its actual implementation. For many migrant workers, weekends seem more of an expectation than a reality. With the development of society and the improvement of public awareness, how to better implement the two-day rest system and protect the rest rights of migrant workers is a question worth pondering.
