3. Frequently Asked Questions
1. If I work overtime on New Year’s Day, how will my salary be calculated?
According to the "Labor Law", if overtime is worked on statutory holidays, the employer shall pay overtime pay of no less than 300% of the salary. For example, if an employee's daily salary is 200 yuan, he should receive 600 yuan in overtime pay for working overtime on New Year's Day.
2. Does working during the New Year’s Day holiday count as overtime?
Working on duty is different from working overtime. On-duty work usually refers to the situation where workers perform work that is not related to their own work during non-normal working hours, or are engaged in work related to their own work but with a smaller workload. On-duty wages shall be determined by the employer, but shall not be lower than the local minimum wage.
3. Will wages be paid in advance during the New Year’s Day holiday?
The salary payment time is stipulated by the employer, and usually will not be paid in advance due to holidays. However, if the employer has special regulations or reaches an agreement with the employees, it can be issued in advance.
4. Precautions
1. The basis for calculating overtime wages is the worker’s daily wage or hourly wage, which shall not be lower than the local minimum wage standard.
2. If the employer arranges for employees to work overtime on statutory holidays, it shall not use compensated days off instead of paying overtime wages.
3. If the employer fails to pay overtime wages as required, workers can complain to the labor inspection department or apply for labor arbitration.
4. Some enterprises may implement a comprehensive calculation working hour system or an irregular working hour system. The calculation method of overtime wages for such employees may be different from the standard working hour system. Please refer to the specific regulations of the enterprise.
5. Summary
The New Year's Day holiday is an important time for workers to enjoy their statutory holiday rights. Understanding the wage calculation method will help protect your legal rights and interests.
