On April 21st, the topic "May's salary can be advanced" trended at the top of Weibo.
According to reports, with the May Day holiday approaching, salaries for the month will be paid from May 1st to 5th, and May's salary can be advanced.
In response, netizens have been debating. Some say their salaries are always paid just before holidays, while others claim their companies pay after the holidays.
It's crucial to know when to issue payments during holidays like the May Day. According to Article 7 of the "Interim Provisions on Wage Payment," wages must be paid on the agreed-upon date between the employer and the employee. If a holiday or rest day falls on the payment date, the wages should be paid on the nearest working day beforehand. Wages should be paid at least once a month, and for those on a weekly, daily, or hourly wage system, payments can be made accordingly.
Additionally, considering this year's holiday arrangements, overtime on May 1st will be paid at triple the regular rate, while overtime from May 2nd to May 5th will be paid at double the regular rate.
For this year's May Day holiday, it spans from Wednesday, May 1st, to Sunday, May 5th, with a total of 5 days off, while work resumes on Sunday, April 28th, and Saturday, May 11th.
Many individuals with only one rest day in the week have expressed frustration, asking if those who arranged the holiday considered their situation.
Before the holiday, work for 8 days; after the holiday, work for 6 days.
