Cai Jiming is far from the only one who feels uneasy. Why are so many people so sensitive to the word "cancel the 11th holiday"? What touched the fragile nerves of the public?
Most people take annual leave.
A recent survey on "paid vacation" conducted by Xinhuanet shows that 70.62% people choose not to take a vacation.
The reason why the remarks about "canceling the 11th National Holiday" caused an uproar seems to be that we can find the answer from Cai Jiming's blog post "The Debate of the Eleventh Golden Week": "It is urgent for all sectors of society to pay attention to the paid vacation system and actively promote the implementation of the paid vacation system, instead of re-provoking the dispute over the retention or abolition of the Eleventh Golden Week."
The Regulations on Paid Annual Leave for Employees came into effect on June 65438+1 October1in 2008, and it has been more than half a year. According to a recent survey on paid vacations conducted by Xinhuanet, 15.63% of the respondents have taken vacations this year, and 13.75% will take vacations, but they choose not to take vacations.
According to Tang Jun, a researcher at the Social Policy Research Center of China Academy of Social Sciences, it is difficult for most employees of small and medium-sized enterprises to enjoy paid vacations, "about 40% of them can be implemented". A public opinion survey in Shandong shows that less than 30% employees of local private enterprises can take two days off a week, while in Tianjin, only 20% employees take paid vacations.
The purpose of "paid vacation" is to improve people's leisure quality and reduce the waste of various resources brought by the Golden Week, but what causes this good policy of benefiting the people to become a "flower in the mirror" and a "moon in the water"?
The economic loss of annual leave is great.
"The company also linked the year-end assessment to vacation. Who else dares to take a vacation? "
"I wish you a happy holiday and family reunion!" The Mid-Autumn Festival is coming. He Fan, who works in a real estate company in Shenzhen, often receives short messages from relatives and friends recently, but for him, the Mid-Autumn Festival family reunion is just a sweet but vague dream.
After graduating from college, he came to Shenzhen from Wuhan to "realize his entrepreneurial dream". But what He Fan didn't expect was that the price of dreams was endless work, not family reunion. "Apart from going to Hong Kong once in 2007, there are no other holidays at all, let alone going home."
He Fan originally planned to go home for the Spring Festival in 2008. Unexpectedly, the road was blocked by heavy snow, and the cancellation of the May Day Golden Week made He Fan think that the regulations on paid annual leave for employees would be his "last straw", but this was not the case.
In March this year, a colleague of He Fan went home on annual leave, and when he came back, he found that his salary was much less that month. The boss told him that the salary for those days of annual leave was paid according to the basic salary, and he had to "buy" it with his own income! Because a large part of employees' salary comes from performance, the basic salary is only a small part, which is far from enough to live. "Vacation is ok, but the bonus will be deducted. 1000 yuan vacation, most people think it is not cost-effective, so they give up. Moreover, the company also links the year-end assessment with vacation. Which employee dares to take a vacation? " Since then, people in the company have never dared to take annual leave.
The "salary" of paid vacation is only the basic salary.
Paid vacation "brings" a negligible basic salary, so many employees are unwilling and afraid to take a vacation.
"Although it is said to be paid, the company always has its own reasons, and this account can't be counted!"
What is this account that He Fan said? Zhao, a person in charge of the shishi city Labor Inspection Brigade, gave the answer: The general provision that "employees enjoy the same salary as during normal working hours" in the Regulations on Annual Leave of Employees has encountered many problems in actual implementation. At present, in some employers, employees' salary consists of basic salary and performance salary. It is the biggest doubt whether the "equal salary income with normal working period" mentioned in the regulations includes performance salary. It is precisely because of the unclear definition that in some enterprises, the "salary" brought by employees' paid vacation is only the basic salary, which is usually less than half of the total salary, or even less than 1/3. Paid vacation "brings" only a negligible basic salary, so many employees are unwilling and afraid to take a vacation.
