Why is the 996 system seriously illegal?

In case of emergency projects, work 6 days a week, and the working hours may be longer every day. In addition to requiring employees to work more than 10 hours a day, there are also people attending the annual meeting who broke the news. When the company executives spoke, they suggested that if work and family could not be properly balanced, they could choose divorce. 654381October 30th, Hangzhou Labor Inspection Department has been involved in the investigation. If "Youzan Technology" company works overtime illegally, it will be investigated and dealt with according to law.

The minimum weekly working hours of 996 working system are 12x6=72 hours. This represents the common overtime culture of Internet enterprises in China. But this so-called 996 working system is a serious violation of the law! The Supreme Law and Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security believe that the "996" working system has seriously violated the provisions of the Labor Law of People's Republic of China (PRC) on extending the legal working hours. Therefore, the relevant company rules and regulations should be deemed invalid.
