Next year's college entrance examination coincides with the Dragon Boat Festival holiday. A spokesman for the Ministry of Education said that it is good and bad for candidates to hold the college entrance examination during the holidays. In some holiday arrangements issued by the General Office of the State Council, next year's college entrance examination time (June 7th and 8th) coincides with the three-day holiday of Dragon Boat Festival. Considering the proposal that some people have called for the college entrance examination to be held on weekends in recent years, will this coincidence bring more convenience to candidates and parents of the college entrance examination next year? Will the college entrance examination time be adjusted in the future? Yesterday, a spokesman for the Ministry of Education said that the college entrance examination held during holidays has advantages and disadvantages for candidates, and the college entrance examination plan, including the college entrance examination time, will be adjusted on the basis of scientific and prudent argumentation, in line with the interests of the vast majority of candidates. A spokesman for the Ministry of Education analyzed that the college entrance examination was held during the Dragon Boat Festival holiday. In terms of traffic, it is convenient for parents to have more time to serve candidates. However, judging from the comprehensive factors such as candidates' psychology, holidays are easy to make people feel relaxed or relaxed, and there are also factors that are not conducive to preparing for the exam. In addition, the college entrance examination involves many departments and links, and the examination is only one of them, and many factors such as marking papers and admission should be fully considered. Enterprises are under great pressure, and employees are encouraged to take vacations in advance to summarize and coordinate vacation plans without affecting production. (Reporter Jiang) With the introduction of statutory holidays and paid annual leave, the state's economic compensation for enterprises not to give employees annual leave has suddenly increased. Can this really protect employees' right to rest? Will it increase the cost of the enterprise? In this regard, some companies said that the paid annual leave has been implemented before, and the new policy has little impact on enterprises; However, some enterprises have indicated that they have begun to make annual leave plans for employees to ensure a win-win situation for both enterprises and employees. "It will definitely have a certain impact." Sun Hui, human resources manager of Zhujiang Power Plant, told the reporter that the company has more than 800 employees, including more than 700 grass-roots personnel and production workers. "But we very much welcome this vacation system. In order to ensure that all employees of the company can take vacations next year, and at the same time ensure that the company will not increase costs because of employees' vacations, we have now begun to make vacation plans for next year. " Sun Hui said, "Now we have to ask for the opinions of employees. Each employee will make their own vacation plan, and the personnel department will summarize and mediate. For example, the general administrative staff may like to rest in July and August when the children are on summer vacation, while for the production department, July and August are the peak hours of electricity consumption, and it may be suggested to arrange it at the beginning of the year at the end of the year. As long as you arrange it properly, you really won't be too busy to squeeze out for a few days. Moreover, the implementation of the vacation system can also improve the work efficiency of employees. "Sun Hui said that in the past, enterprises had an annual leave system, which was generally effective in that year and would not stop, so enterprises would not give employees some economic subsidies." As soon as the national holiday system is introduced, company leaders will first encourage employees to rest, which is a good thing. "Once employees have not taken enough leave, according to the new regulations, enterprises will face economic compensation of three times their wages, and the pressure is greater than before. Some foreign companies have more favorable annual leave treatment. Many foreign companies have implemented paid annual leave. Some jobs 1 year can take seven days off. (Reporter Jassamyn Liu, Yu Mengjiang, Ma Jun, Lu Yong) In view of the newly announced paid annual leave policy, the reporter interviewed some foreign-funded enterprises in Dongguan. Yang Xiaoping, human resources director of Thomson Guangdong Display Equipment Dongguan Branch, said that she didn't know there were legal holidays. She said that the company has always followed the rule that employees who continue to work on legal holidays should receive three times the salary. How to rotate after the introduction of the new vacation policy, the company should study the relevant policies and make adjustments. Samsung Group has a factory in Liaobu and a factory in Houjie, Dongguan, with about 3,000 people and 4,500 people respectively. More than 90% of employees have worked for more than one year. A person in charge of the South China Personnel Support Center of Samsung Group believes that the introduction of the new policy has little impact on foreign-funded enterprises, and may have a greater impact on some domestic-funded enterprises and smaller enterprises. He introduced that Samsung began to arrange annual leave in accordance with the relevant regulations of Guangdong Province three years ago. After the introduction of this new policy, there must be many employees who can't arrange a rest, and finally they can only give economic compensation. " The new holiday adjustment has little effect on us and will not be too excited. "Wu, a designer of Dongguan Fashion Design Co., Ltd., is a foreign-funded enterprise. She said that the company has implemented paid annual leave, and all employees can take seven days off every year after working 1. During May Day, National Day, Spring Festival and other legal holidays, if you work overtime, the factory can pay three times the daily salary, while in general weekends, employees can change according to their own needs. At the same time, the factory also requires employees to take annual leave within this year, and they are not allowed to take consecutive holidays across years. In this respect, they will basically not be unable to take a vacation because of work reasons. She said that after the adjustment, due to the consideration of the quality of life and the combination of work and rest, she will take annual leave in due course, and will never take less or no vacation because of blind pursuit of triple wages. However, this new adjustment may have a necessary inhibitory effect on some small factories that are not standardized. " If they can't guarantee their employees' annual leave, they need to pay their employees the necessary labor remuneration, which will have positive significance for safeguarding their rights and interests. Related issues The first month of traditional festivals is leap month. According to the Beijing News, the new national holiday measures for public holidays and anniversaries have been announced. Some netizens questioned whether it is possible to take an extra day off if traditional festivals coincide with the lunar leap month. Yesterday, experts said that according to the new holiday method, the legal holiday will be arranged in the first month of the lunar calendar. According to the revised National Festival and Memorial Day, Tomb-Sweeping Day, Dragon Boat Festival and Mid-Autumn Festival have one day off each. However, some netizens asked: Take the Dragon Boat Festival in 2009 as an example. There were two lunar months in that year, and the Dragon Boat Festival was held on May 28th and June 27th respectively. In this regard, the State Council's Decision on Amending the National Festival and Memorial Day did not give an answer. Yesterday, Cai Jiming, a member of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC) and the head of the Tsinghua University Holiday Reform Research Group, said that in case of similar situation, in principle, the holiday in the first month of the lunar calendar will be taken as a holiday, and there will be no holiday in the second month. "After all, it is unlikely to change the total number of legal holidays because of this. According to the Legal Evening News, the staff of the National Development and Reform Commission said yesterday that if there are two Dragon Boat Festival and two Mid-Autumn Festival in leap year, there will only be one Dragon Boat Festival or Mid-Autumn Festival holiday. According to the Legal Evening News, the staff of the National Development and Reform Commission said that if several legal holidays overlap, the vacation will be extended and adjusted according to the principle of balancing the vacation time before and after. If the traditional festival catches up with the "Eleventh", it will also extend the holiday by one day. How to rest on Youth Day and Women's Day (Reporter Jassamyn Liu, Yu Mengjiang, Ma Jun, Lu Yong) Some "serious" foreign-funded enterprises have raised questions: How to define the May 4th Youth Day and Women's Day holidays? The relevant person in charge of the South China Personnel Support Center of Samsung Group said that they also learned about the situation from lawyers and found that the relevant regulations were not very clear. On the May 4th Youth Day, people over 14 are required to have a rest, but what is the upper age limit, how to define the age of young people, whether the whole factory should take a vacation, whether it should be compensated for not stopping work, and how to implement it is still uncertain. On the Women's Day on March 8, it is definitely impossible for female workers in the whole factory to take vacations at the same time. This situation needs economic compensation. What is the expenditure of this new enterprise? He replied that Samsung had not settled the account because the policy had just been introduced.
