Can company-organized travel be counted as annual leave?

The company can arrange annual leave for employees in a unified manner and organize travel during the annual leave. However, employees may or may not participate in the tour.

The State Council

"Regulations on Paid Annual Leave for Employees"

Article 5 The unit shall make overall arrangements based on the specific conditions of production and work and taking into account the wishes of the employees. Annual leave for employees.

Annual leave can be arranged collectively within one year or in sections, and is generally not arranged across years. If the unit really needs to arrange annual leave for employees across years due to production and work characteristics, it can arrange it across one year.

If the unit is indeed unable to arrange for employees to take annual leave due to work needs, it may not arrange for employees to take annual leave with the employee's consent. For the number of days an employee should have taken but has not taken vacation, the unit shall pay annual leave wages at 300% of the employee's daily wage income.
