Holiday Pay Rules in China
Understanding Holiday Pay in China

Statutory Protection
China has legal requirements for holiday pay. Employees are entitled to premium compensation for working on public holidays.
Common Practices
Triple pay (3x) for statutory holidays; 2x for rest days.
Special Rules and Considerations
Golden Week holidays (Spring Festival, National Day) have special protections.
How to Calculate Your Holiday Pay
The standard formula for calculating holiday pay in China is:
Holiday Pay = Hourly Wage × Hours Worked × 3
Example: Worker in China
A worker in China earning ¥25/hour working 8 hours on a public holiday:
- Holiday rate at 3x: ¥25 × 3 = ¥75.00/hour
- Holiday pay: ¥75.00 × 8 hours = ¥600.00
- Regular pay would be: ¥25 × 8 = ¥200.00
- Extra premium earned: ¥400.00
Key Considerations for China
- Check your employment contract for specific holiday pay entitlements
- Collective agreements may specify higher rates than statutory minimums
- Some industries may have additional holiday work restrictions
- Compensatory time off may be offered instead of or in addition to premium pay
