銆€銆€Many employees who worked over the Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day holiday failed to receive their overtime pay, an online survey has found.

銆€銆€The survey, conducted by micro-blogging platform Sina Weibo, polled 9,224 netizens, and found 73 percent of respondents claimed they worked from Sept 30 to Oct 7 but did not receive overtime pay.

銆€銆€The eight-day Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day holiday comprised four days of State-mandated annual leave and four weekend days.

銆€銆€Chinese law stipulates that workers should receive overtime pay, or three times their regular pay, if they work each day of the State-mandated holiday. Workers can receive twice their regular daily pay if they work over the weekend.

銆€銆€Li Ran, 26, who works at a clothing store in a shopping mall in Beijing, worked all eight days over the holiday, but said she will not get any extra money.

銆€銆€"It's common that salespersons like us do not get overtime pay, no matter when we work during statutory holidays or over the weekend. But I was glad that my boss allowed me two days off after the eight-day holiday ended," said Li.

銆€銆€Li also said that when she and her colleagues negotiated wages with the employer and signed a contract, the employer said nothing about overtime pay.
