Shenzhen will implement a compulsory vacation system. What's the point?

Shenzhen withdrew from the compulsory vacation system in order to better protect the physical and mental health of workers.

1. Avoid excessive loss of human function or damage to physical and mental health caused by high-intensity work.

The forty-fifth meeting of the Standing Committee of the Sixth Shenzhen Municipal People's Congress voted to pass the Health Regulations of Shenzhen Special Economic Zone, suggesting the implementation of compulsory vacation system. The "Health Regulations" clearly stated that the system of compulsory vacation should be implemented, requiring employers to reasonably arrange the rest time for employees outside work, and implement the system of rotation rest for employees whose mental and physical workload is relative to that of Jiaotong University, so as to avoid excessive loss of human function and physical and mental health damage to employees' health after high-intensity work. This not only better protects and maintains the health of employees, but also enables employees to devote themselves wholeheartedly to the tasks of the employer, which is mutually beneficial and win-win.

Second, enhance the collective bargaining ability of employees and enterprises.

At present, the compulsory vacation system in Shenzhen requires employers to arrange a vacation adjustment or vacation under corresponding circumstances to enhance employees' bargaining power. This is equivalent to the government formulating laws and regulations to enable employees to better solve the problems of labor and vacation. From the specific provisions, it is mandatory, but the intensity is not that great. After all, it must be considered according to the opinions of employees.

Third, alleviate the long-standing phenomenon of employees working long hours and leaving their jobs without security in some industries.

Undoubtedly, the implementation of the compulsory vacation system in Shenzhen is of positive significance, which not only clearly reflects the nature of the statutory rest and vacation system as the labor standard law and strengthens the leading role of the law in safeguarding the rights and interests of workers, but also helps to guide employers and employees to establish the concept of healthy work, urge enterprises to improve relevant rules and regulations, and reduce the harm to employees' physical and mental health. The rapid development of today's society has undoubtedly eased the situation that some employees have not rested for a long time.

Whether the health status of workers can be improved is an important benchmark for the progress of modern society. The compulsory vacation system conforms to the general trend of social development.
