A: The Scout Law Online Consultation will answer your question.

Paid annual leave means that workers can enjoy paid annual leave for a certain period of time after working continuously for more than one year.

Article 1 These Provisions are formulated in accordance with the relevant provisions of the Labor Law and the Civil Service Law in order to reasonably arrange the work and rest time of employees, guarantee their right to rest and arouse their enthusiasm for work.

Article 2 Employees of government organs, organizations, enterprises, institutions, private non-enterprise units and individual industrial and commercial households with employees (hereinafter referred to as units) who have worked continuously in the same unit for more than 1 year shall enjoy paid annual leave (hereinafter referred to as annual leave). The unit shall ensure that employees enjoy annual leave.

Employees enjoy the same salary and welfare benefits during annual leave as during normal work.

Article 3 If an employee has worked for more than 1 year but less than1year, he/she shall have an annual leave of 5 days; For those who have completed 10 years but less than 20 years, annual leave 10 days; Annual leave 15 days for those who have completed 20 years.

National statutory holidays and rest days are not included in the annual leave.

If employees enjoy winter vacation or family leave according to law, the annual leave will offset the winter vacation and family leave.

Article 4 The annual leave of employees shall be arranged by the unit according to the specific conditions of production and work, taking into account the employees' own wishes.

Annual leave can be arranged centrally or in sections within 1 year, generally not across years. If it is really necessary for the unit to arrange annual leave for employees across years due to the characteristics of production work, it can be arranged across 1 year.

If the unit fails to arrange annual leave for employees due to work needs, it shall pay normal wages and benefits to employees and compensate them daily according to the daily wage standard of employees.
