For the first time under Chinese law, employees are entitled to paid annual leave. Under regulations that came into effect on January 1 2008, employees who have worked for between one and 10 years are entitled to five days' annual leave, rising to 10 days for over 10 years' work and 15 days for over 20 years' work.
Employees must take their entire annual leave entitlement within the calendar year; if an employer cannot arrange for an employee to do so because of workplace demands, the employee may carry over leave to the following year, but this may be done once only. However, if the employee so agrees, the employer may pay him or her 300% of his or her average daily wage for each day of annual leave accrued but not taken.
Anyone fancy a spot of global competition?

Very catchy - they don't make slogans like that anymore.

Dear slightly dim and curiously round-eyed Chinese person:
The idea of the goggles is that they protect your eyes from the heat and glare of that furnace you're feeding, pull the bloody things down!

Great for the Chinese. Me, I'm a subcontractor here in the UK and technically self-employed, even though I have a boss and have to keep the hours he dictates. I don't get paid holiday, sick time or an overtime rate.
Meh. I'm moving to China!
