Standard Work Week System

China's standard work week is Monday–Friday, 8 hours per day (typically 9:00–18:00). Statutory weekly hours must not exceed 40. Some manufacturing uses alternating 6-day weeks.

Overtime Culture & Compliance

Under the Labor Law, overtime is limited to 3 hours/day and 36 hours/month. Overtime pay: 150% on workdays, 200% on rest days, 300% on statutory holidays. Manufacturing overtime is common in practice; monitor supplier compliance risk.

Legal Basis

China's public holidays are defined by the State Council's Regulations on National Holidays and Commemorative Days, totaling 11 legal holidays per year. Weekend days are shifted to create extended breaks such as the 7-day Spring Festival and National Day holidays.
