How to deal with the abnormal overtime disorder and truly safeguard the right of workers to rest? The reporter conducted interviews around these issues. The average weekly overtime is nearly 15 hours - this is the work experience of Mr. Deng, a staff member of a foreign company in Beijing. If we add in the usual weekend overtime, this working hour will be even longer. On weekdays, the lights in the office are mostly on before midnight because there are always people working, and some colleagues come to work overtime on weekends, "Mr. Deng said. There are many overtime workers like Mr. Deng. A reporter from Rule of Law Daily interviewed more than 30 workers in Beijing, Hunan, Guangdong and other places for several consecutive days and found that nearly 90% of workplace workers need to work overtime to some extent, and nearly 60% of workplace workers work overtime for an average of more than one hour per day; And half of workplace workers do not receive any form of compensation after working overtime, such as overtime pay, compensatory leave, etc. The National Bureau of Statistics recently released the performance of the national economy in the first quarter of 2023, which also showed that in March of this year, the average weekly working hours of enterprise employees nationwide were 48.7 hours, an increase of 1.4 hours compared to 47.3 hours in March of last year. Several industry experts interviewed by reporters pointed out that excessive overtime is closely related to factors such as enterprise management concepts, workflow settings, and work atmosphere, seriously violating labor laws and infringing on workers' right to rest and health. It is recommended to incorporate compliance with labor laws and regulations into the evaluation system for the construction of a rule of law society, forcing enterprises to comply with the law, and further improving labor supervision mechanisms and complaint reporting mechanisms, Establish a scientific recognition system, improve relevant legislation to protect the right to rest, and increase penalties for enterprises illegally extending workers' working hours. The phenomenon of overtime is extremely common, and overtime pay is not guaranteed. "Overtime is a common occurrence," said Ms. Li, who works in sales at a shopping mall in Beijing. She and her colleagues usually only take one day off a week, and can only take one day from Monday to Friday. Weekends cannot be easily taken off, and they work more than 8 hours a day. The company's designated working hours are from 10:00 to 18:00, but in reality, they usually exceed 8 hours. Ms. Li said that although she is required to leave work at 18:00, there are often unfinished tasks that need to be continued. Sometimes, leaders may also take up off work time for temporary meetings, and when they arrive home, they may occasionally receive feedback from customers, and also take up rest time to communicate and solve problems. Mr. Zhao, who works in a public institution in Changsha, Hunan, also faces overtime issues. His working hours are from 9pm to 17pm, but in recent years he has hardly finished work on time, and sometimes he needs to work overtime until 11pm to return home. Sometimes overtime becomes a form of work, even if the work is completed on time, because other colleagues are still working, they have to stay at the company and work overtime together
