Statutory holiday refers to the unified holiday that the law clearly stipulates that social workers must be given a rest. For example, the seven-day National Day holiday is a legal holiday. No company, unit, private enterprise, etc. Employees may be forced to go to work for a holiday. Of course, if they want to work, they have to work overtime. Overtime for one day is calculated at three times their daily salary.

At this point, large enterprises and institutions have done quite well, but people living in the lower classes are not so good, such as the catering industry. Those small restaurants, snack bars and pubs don't care about any legal holidays at all. Everything goes to work normally, and it's a conscience for the boss to take a day off.
