Jiangxi Province Trade Union Welfare Payment Regulations 2022

For workers engaged in outdoor work and high-temperature work, the monthly salary per person will be adjusted from the original 240 yuan to 330 yuan; for workers engaged in indoor non-high-temperature work, the monthly salary will be adjusted from the original 160 yuan to 200 yuan. . For people who work in indoor air-conditioned rooms, the hot summer may not have much impact, but for some workers whose working environment is outdoors or without air conditioning, summer labor is very hard. Therefore, the country has formulated a welfare system for high temperature allowances. Every summer, companies will issue a certain amount of high temperature allowances to employees as benefits. Due to different policies across our country, the payment standards for high temperature allowances are different. In addition, employers cannot stop work, shorten working hours, or reduce workers’ wages due to high temperatures. At the same time, heatstroke prevention supplies are not considered high temperature subsidies. High temperature allowance is legally mandatory; while refreshing beverage fee is a welfare benefit for enterprise employees. Enterprises cannot use drinks, mung beans and other heatstroke prevention materials as high-temperature subsidies. It was learned from the Jiangxi Provincial Department of Human Resources and Social Security that Jiangxi Province still implements the previous payment standards and distributes high temperature allowances in the four months of June, July, August and September. According to the "Management Measures for Heatstroke Prevention and Cooling Measures" jointly promulgated by four ministries and commissions, any weather with a daily maximum temperature of 35°C or above announced to the public by meteorological stations affiliated to meteorological authorities at or above the prefecture level is considered high temperature weather. If the enterprise arranges workers to engage in outdoor operations in weather with temperatures above 35°C, and cannot take effective measures to reduce the temperature of the workplace to below 33°C, it shall pay high temperature allowances to the workers. Moreover, heatstroke prevention and cooling drinks cannot be used to offset the high temperature allowance.

: Secondly, each unit must establish and improve the work system for heatstroke prevention and cooling. For example, we should adopt good insulation, ventilation, and cooling measures to actively improve the working conditions in the workplace; we should also provide sufficient heatstroke prevention and cooling drinks and necessary medicines that meet health standards for workers who work in high temperatures and hot weather.

Legal basis: Article 3, paragraph 5, of the "Interim Regulations on the Collection and Payment of Social Insurance Premiums" stipulates: "The base and rate of social insurance premiums shall be implemented in accordance with relevant laws, administrative regulations and the provisions of the State Council." At present, the provisions on the payment base and premium rate of social insurance are reflected in the "Interim Measures for the Management of Personal Accounts of Basic Pension Insurance for Employees", the "Decision on Establishing a Basic Medical Insurance System for Urban Employees", and the "Regulations on Unemployment Insurance". Although the basic pension insurance The payment rates for insurance premiums, basic medical insurance premiums, and unemployment insurance premiums are different, but the payment base is unified to the total wages of employees. Article 4 of the "Regulations on the Composition of Total Wages" of the National Bureau of Statistics states: "Total wages consist of the following six parts: time wages; piece-rate wages; bonuses; allowances and subsidies; overtime wages; and wages paid under special circumstances."
