How To Open The 2.5 Day Vacation Mode?

The national tourism work conference held in 2016 revealed that local governments and enterprises should create conditions to explore the "2.5 Day vacation mode" in the summer under the premise of ensuring a weekly 40 hours of legal work without affecting the masses.

In the second half of last year, the mode of entering the public view once again aroused heated debate.

The public generally welcomed the two and a half days' holiday. Some netizens said they would rather work overtime and take half a day off.

But many people also expressed concern that many enterprises could not implement weekends and weekends. What about two and a half days? There were also many new questions. For example, if government departments are on holiday and the public interest is affected, what should we do? Hospitals are on vacation. How do patients see a doctor?

In response, the government departments are supporting the government.

It must be considered.

The formulation of the "2.5 Day vacation mode" was first initiated by the general office of the State Council last year on some suggestions on further promoting tourism investment and consumption.

According to the opinion, "conditional local units and units can optimize and adjust summer work arrangements according to the actual situation, so that workers can go out on Friday afternoons and weekends.

Create favorable conditions.

Since last November, Hebei, Jiangxi, Chongqing and other places have issued opinions, explicitly proposed to encourage the 2.5 Day vacation mode, and made some positive attempts.

At the beginning of this year's local two meetings, many local governments made it clear that the 2.5 Day holiday system was encouraged in 2016.

However, many places are still repeating some "opinions" of the above state offices. This encouragement is more like an oral encouragement, and fewer local governments really come up with pragmatic policies to encourage employers to implement them.

This also shows from another aspect that the policy landing needs more active exploration on how to "peak off vacation" and "elastic rest".

Generally speaking, active exploration has two levels:

First, we should clarify the policy objectives from the rational level so as to gain more policy identification and support.

The direct goal of policy adjustment is to increase the total leisure time by shifting working hours without adjusting the legal requirements of 40 hours per week.

The economic significance of policy adjustment is obvious. For example, summer "2.5 days long vacation" gives people more rest time through "zero deposit and take up", which can stimulate consumption to a large extent.

However, leisure arrangements with double weekends and small holidays as a main part also play a positive role in promoting surrounding tourism, rural tourism and promoting interaction between urban and rural areas.

But we can not simply understand the adjustment of policies to stimulate the economy, and we should see that there is more social significance behind it. For example, people can enjoy their leisure life more flexibly and effectively through this way, which is exactly the same as the change of people's living style and living needs after the upgrading of China's economic and social development level.

Two, we should practically pass the practical level.

A balance is achieved between corporate profits and employee rest, people's need for work and government efficiency.

Let the public better enjoy their leisure life and turn them into positive economic and social benefits. First of all, we must ensure that the existing economic and social order is not affected. For example, how to ensure that there are no functional vacancies in the public sector, especially some windows on Friday afternoon, and how to arrange school Friday afternoon classes without increasing family plaguing and taking care of children, and how to arrange doctors' scheduling without causing "doctor shortage" on Friday afternoon.

In addition, people and social sectors should be encouraged to work together with tourism departments to form a joint effort. Through trade unions and other organizations, enterprises should be encouraged to take more care of staff and workers, and to provide workers with more reasonable work and leisure arrangements under possible conditions.

In the final analysis, if we want to make 2.5 days off without being a right on paper, the key lies in whether we can really implement it.
