Statutory holidays generally refer to the rest time for celebrations and vacations, which are uniformly stipulated by national laws according to the customs and commemorative requirements of various countries and nationalities.

The legal holiday system is an important reflection of the national political, economic and cultural system, involving many aspects of the economy and society and the vital interests of the broad masses of the people.

Paid days:

In response to the question of whether an extra holiday will have an impact on overtime pay, a lawyer from a law firm in Beijing confirmed that "the notice clarified a concept, which is' the number of days of monthly salary'. Overtime pay should be calculated on this basis. The number of paid days per month is only related to weekends and has nothing to do with legal holidays, so it has no impact on overtime pay. "

Therefore, in the sense of this new "paid days per month", overtime pay is indeed lower than the previous "working days per month", but no matter how many days are added in legal holidays in the future, it has no effect on overtime pay.

Earlier, some media said that the annual statutory holidays were increased from 10 days in previous years to 1 1 day, and the overtime pay of workers would be slightly increased. According to the new calculation method, this statement is wrong.

"The previous algorithm was wrong." According to the "Labor Law", the employer shall pay wages according to law for statutory holidays. Previously, legal holidays and weekends were always regarded as unpaid wages, and the remaining days after 365 days were divided by 12 months.

Get the number of working days per month, and calculate the daily salary and overtime salary. However, this algorithm has always been contrary to the labor law, including the Notice on Average Working Hours and Wage Conversion of Employees, which was just abolished in 2000.
