Every summer, high temperature allowance is a hot topic of concern to workers.

The so-called "high temperature allowance" is actually a compensation for the extra labor consumed by workers because they work in a high temperature environment. According to the Management Measures for Heatstroke Prevention and Cooling Measures revised by 20 12, if the employer arranges the workers to engage in outdoor operations in hot weather above 35℃, or fails to take effective measures to lower the workplace temperature below 33℃, it shall pay the high temperature allowance.

28 provinces define the standard of high temperature allowance.

The media combed and found that 28 provinces across the country have clarified the payment standards for high temperature allowances. Southern Metropolis Daily reporter learned that the specific distribution standards and distribution time of these 28 provinces are different. Among them, there are 13 provinces that pay monthly, 13 provinces that pay daily, 1 provinces that pay daily or monthly, and 1 provinces that pay hourly.

Among the provinces that issue monthly high temperature allowance, Shanxi and Jiangxi have the highest allowance standard, which is 240 yuan per month. The lowest allowance standard is Guangxi, and the lowest is only 100 yuan per month.

Among the provinces that issue daily high temperature allowance, Shaanxi has the highest allowance standard, reaching 25 yuan every day, and the monthly allowance is more than that of 700 yuan. Gansu, Sichuan, Ningxia and Guizhou have lower allowances, and the lowest is only 8 yuan every day.

The reporter learned from the Provincial People's and Social Welfare Department that the high temperature allowance in our province was paid to 10 in April, and * * * has seven months, which is the longest time in the country. Hainan's high temperature allowance standard is relatively low, 10 yuan per day.

Traffic police, sanitation and other units pay salaries to employees of private enterprises every month for fear of losing their jobs.

Walking on the streets of Haikou in hot summer, pedestrians are in a hurry and try to hide in the shade. Compared with pedestrians, traffic police, sanitation workers and other people who need to work outdoors for a long time are inevitably exposed to the sun.

Cai Jianjia, winner of the National May 1st Labor Medal and squadron leader of the 7th Squadron of Longhua Brigade of Haikou Public Security Bureau, has been on duty for 28 years. Every time he is on duty in Haikou Road under the scorching sun, his feeling is: "It's sunny, it's hot, and the sweat keeps flowing."

According to the service arrangement, from 7: 30 a.m. to 9: 00 p.m., there are traffic policemen on duty on the roads in downtown Haikou, not only to divert the traffic in the morning and evening rush hours, but also to investigate and deal with various traffic violations and take care of safety. "The sunniest thing in summer is going to work in the afternoon. It will take more than three hours on the road from 3: 30, and the clothes are soaked inside and outside. " Cai Jianjia said.

Speaking of street exposure, Wang Ping, a sanitation worker in Haikou, also has a deep understanding. In her words, "I'm afraid of the sun."

Sanitation workers have to clean the streets for 7 hours per shift. Every shift in summer, Wang Ping wraps himself up, not only wearing long trousers, a big hat and gloves, but also wrapping his face and neck with a scarf, only showing his eyes.

"When you are exposed to the sun, it's like being in a big stove outside. If you don't protect yourself from the sun, your skin will get sunburned, sunburned and peeled off. " Wang Ping said that in order to avoid heatstroke, she would bring a big kettle to work and drink a lot of water.

As for the high temperature allowance, Cai Jianjia and Wang Pingjun said that from April to 10 every year, the high temperature allowance in 300 yuan will be paid with the salary of that month. "Sometimes it is sent once a month, sometimes once every three months, and it can be received according to regulations."

The reporter learned that in the group of long-term high-temperature outdoor work, outdoor staff of government agencies and institutions such as traffic police and sanitation workers can receive high-temperature allowances on a monthly basis, and many large enterprises can also implement high-temperature allowances according to regulations.

Compared with public institutions and large enterprises, outdoor workers in private enterprises and migrant workers on construction sites rarely get high temperature allowance. Some workers are afraid to take the initiative to ask the unit for various reasons even if they know the policy.

Xiao Li, who works as a food delivery clerk in a chain catering company in Haikou, often rides an electric car to deliver takeout to customers in the scorching sun at noon. At noon at most, he sent 17 takeaways. "The sun came down to deliver food for more than 2 hours, and the clothes were all wet. After drinking a lot of water, I still feel dry, as if I have no strength as heatstroke. " He said.

However, from last summer to now, Xiao Li has not received the high temperature allowance. When he learned that he should enjoy the high temperature allowance according to the regulations, Xiao Li's first reaction was: "If the company sends it, it will be sent. If not, forget it. If you insist on asking the company for the money, you may end up without a job. "

Migrant workers are the main group working outdoors. None of the six migrant workers interviewed by the reporter received the high temperature allowance. Lao Xie, a migrant worker, said: "If the boss doesn't send it, no one will take the initiative to ask for money. Occasionally a little mung bean water on the construction site is enough. If even the salary is dragged down, it will be a big problem. "

The maximum penalty for not giving high temperature allowance is 654.38+0.0000 yuan.

According to the regulations, the wages and minimum wages for normal working hours do not include the high temperature allowance, and the employer may not reduce the wages of workers because of the high temperature allowance. If the employer fails to pay the high-temperature allowance, the employee may complain to the competent department of human resources and social security at or above the county level where the employee is located, and the relevant unit will face the punishment stipulated in the Measures for the Protection of Labor in Hot Weather in Guangdong Province, that is, the competent department of human resources and social security at or above the county level shall order it to make corrections within a time limit and give a replacement. If no correction is made within the time limit, a fine of more than 2,000 yuan and 65,438 yuan plus 0,000 yuan will be imposed. If there is a labor dispute between the two parties to the high temperature allowance, it can also be resolved through the labor dispute handling procedure.

The Provincial People's and Social Welfare Department reminded that the high temperature weather is approaching, and employers need to prepare for the distribution of high temperature allowances in time according to the high temperature allowance standards and distribution methods, and strengthen labor protection in high temperature weather.
