Eight-hour working system The national laws stipulate that the working day is eight hours. At present, all countries in the world generally implement the eight-hour working system. A normal working day is 8 hours, from 9 am to 5 pm.
The eight-hour working system is the result of the long-term struggle between the working class and the bourgeoisie. In the early days of capitalism, the working class began to strike and demonstrate for the eight-hour working system. 1866 At the International Workers' Congress held in Geneva in September, the slogan of "8-hour working system" was put forward for the first time at the initiative of Marx.
After the victory of the October Revolution, the Soviet regime promulgated a decree on the eight-hour working day on June 5438+091765438+1October1. After World War I, the 8-hour working system was recognized by the International Labour Conference in June 19 19. After that, capitalist countries were forced to confirm the eight-hour working day one after another. After the founding of People's Republic of China (PRC), China also implemented this system.
Extended data:
Flexible working hours system is one of the basic working hours systems in China.
It refers to the working hours system adopted by employees who cannot be measured according to the standard working hours or need to work flexibly because of the nature, characteristics or responsibilities of their work, and there is no fixed limit on the commuting time of workers every working day.
Both the standard working hour system and the comprehensive working hour system are fixed-time working hours, and the amount of labor is calculated according to the working hours, while the irregular working hour system is a working system that directly determines the amount of labor of employees.
For employees who implement flexible working hours, the employing unit shall, in accordance with the provisions of the Labor Law and with reference to the standard working hours system, check the workload and adopt appropriate methods such as flexible working hours to ensure employees' right to rest and vacation and the completion of production tasks. Senior managers, on-site staff, sales staff, some on-duty personnel and other employees who cannot be measured according to standard working hours due to work reasons can implement flexible working hours system.
