In a blink of an eye, it was Friday again.
Over the past few years, the superiors have implemented several reforms regarding work and rest schedules.
Firstly, the widely resented daylight saving time was abolished.
Since March 1, 1994, the eight-hour workday system was implemented, with an average of forty-four hours per week; major holidays allowed two days off, while minor holidays only one day off, also known as the "1+2" holiday system.
On May 1 last year, government and public institutions began to adopt unified working hours, eliminating the distinction between major and minor holidays, with Saturdays and Sundays designated as official rest days.
Considering the difficulties some enterprises and institutions may face in the implementation, the superiors allowed for an appropriate extension; however, public institutions must enforce this by January 1 this year at the latest, and enterprises by May 1 of next year at the latest.
