Chapter 615 Who doesn’t like to work overtime (first update, please subscribe)
Soon, a notice about overtime was posted on the bulletin board of the clothing factory.
Although she had received literacy education in the literacy class at the Immigration Training Center, Wang Chunhua was still a little confused when she looked at the content of the notice.
"Xiaolan, what is written on this notice?"
Wang Chunhua asked.
"It's Sister Chunhua. What was posted today is an overtime notice."
Xiaolan said enthusiastically.
“Work overtime?”
Wang Chunhua said with a surprised look.
“Why can I work overtime again! The boss is not afraid of being found out by the Labor Department and being fined.”
Wang Chunhua has already begun to wonder whether she should call the Labor Department to report it - according to the Labor Department's announcement, not only will the company be fined for overtime work, but half of the fine will also be awarded to the whistleblower.
Although this is a bit unethical, but...it is also the law. If the bosses don't break the law, of course they won't be punished. Now if he asks everyone to work overtime, isn't it illegal?
Xiaolan said with a smile:
“Sister Chunhua, this overtime work is different from the previous overtime work, that is, the lunch break is shortened by half an hour, and dinner is changed to after get off work, and It’s all voluntary, and the factory doesn’t force us! The off-duty time is still at eight o’clock in the evening, so there is no overtime work.”
“Ah, it’s not overtime work, but how is this overtime paid?”< br>
Wang Chunhua immediately spoke.
"Sister Chunhua, this notice also said that after dinner is changed to after get off work, you can go to the cafeteria to have dinner. It will be regarded as a company dinner. The food will be the same as noon, and you can have meat for every meal."
Xiaolan said.
“It’s just a meal of meat!”
Wang Chunhua thought to herself, she curled her lips. She had been in Nanyang for two years, and she really couldn’t despise this canteen where they could eat meat. , said:
"Then you should eat more so that you have the strength to work overtime. The extra shifts can be considered a contribution to the factory!"
"What a contribution!"
Xiaolan is very happy He said seriously:
“An extra half hour at noon, an extra hour at night, and the workpiece are considered overtime wages. Calculating this way, you can get an extra two cents a day, and an extra dollar a week. !”
Wang Chunhua was slightly startled:
"What! Get an extra dollar a week?"
I read Xiaolan's opening in Tangshan and figured it out.
"Overtime pay! The notice says that if you work overtime for one hour, you will be paid 20 cents for overtime pay. I think it is only one yuan for a week, at least four weeks and two or three days a month. That’s four yuan, fifty-six cents in overtime pay per month!”
“Can you get four yuan, fifty-six cents in overtime pay?”
I had been thinking about last year. , Wang Chunhua’s eyes suddenly lit up when she got an extra six to seven yuan in overtime pay every month.
In fact, when she was in Tangshan, Wang Chunhua worked in a garment factory, and she often worked overtime at that time. However, in the factory at that time, there was no such thing as overtime pay, that is, if you were responsible for one extra meal or something.
It was only after I arrived in Nanyang that I learned that there is such a thing as overtime pay.
The next second, Wang Chunhua had already begun to make calculations in her mind.
Four yuan, fifty-six cents a month. Her current monthly salary is about 20 yuan. If she could get an extra four or five yuan in salary, wouldn't she be able to earn 300 yuan a year? Dollars!
Isn’t it only fifty or sixty yuan a year!
The overtime pay alone is almost enough to cover the family's food expenses for a year.
Thinking of this, Wang Chunhua said a sentence:
“It’s good to work overtime, who doesn’t like to work overtime!”
……
At 7:20 in the evening, the lights in the workshop of the garment factory were still bright, the motors of the sewing machines were roaring, and the workers were working overtime.
Although we didn't have dinner, everyone was in high spirits.
After sewing a sleeve, Xiaolan straightened up, stretched, twisted her neck, and then looked at the clock on the wall.
“I’m not hungry yet. It seems I ate too much at lunch!”
After taking a deep breath, Xiaolan showed a happy expression on her face. If you work overtime for one hour, you can get 20 cents as overtime pay, which is several dollars a month!
I have been working continuously for more than six hours since noon. Although I feel a little tired, my heart is warm. However, at lunch, the canteen adds a piece of meat to everyone. With a big piece of meat on top, you won't feel hungry even if you skip dinner.
Beside Xiaolan, Wang Chunhua was concentrating on using the hemming machine to hem the sleeves.
"Sister Chunhua, are you hungry? It's almost eight o'clock. You will be able to eat in a while!"
Xiaolan said.
“I’m not hungry, I’m not hungry. Why are I hungry when I’m working overtime? I’m already hungry!”
Wang Chunhua replied without raising her head.
"Work quickly and try to sew a few more pieces."
Other people are mostly like this. When the female workers in the factory are working hard there, the garment factories in Nanyang are It is based on piece-rate wages, so the more you work, the more you get.
While the female workers were working, Sun Dechang was walking back and forth, listening to their words, and he suddenly realized that these workers seemed a little strange.
They are not against working overtime.
In fact, there is no shortage of hard-working workers anywhere. What is always in short supply is money. As long as the money is in place, working overtime until you die is definitely not a slogan.
The so-called "996" work system is considered to be inhumane overtime, but compared to those factories that work around the clock, 996 is nothing.
Many people say that workers in the 1950s and 1960s were happy, but they knew that working overtime at that time could definitely overwhelm everything!
What weekend? What eight-hour work?
In that era, overtime was a culture and a task in the enterprise. At that time, the intensity of overtime work was even greater than that of small coastal factories. Once the production task came, workers had to live and eat. In the factory, we worked overtime day and night. At the critical moment, we didn’t get overtime pay for overtime work. We all relied on generating electricity for love.
It’s not too normal to give gifts of any kind and work for a hundred days. You can give gifts several times a year.
In the era of planned economy, overtime work depends entirely on calling. Shouting an appealing slogan can make workers give up everything and work hard.
Yes, that’s not called overtime, it’s called work.
When you are tired, you can give me a call and you won’t be tired again; if you don’t want to do it, you can give me a call and you will go all out.
Afraid of being said to be inactive.
In that era, electricity was properly generated with love!
However, it is different in Nanyang. The labor law in Nanyang has the word "overtime" written on it, and it is protected by law. If business owners want to force workers to use their love to generate electricity, they will definitely be severely punished. If they want to If workers work overtime, they must negotiate for payment.
But talking about money will hurt the feelings of business owners at best, but it can indeed make workers happy.
The enthusiasm of the factory employees for working overtime made Sun Dechang a little relieved. At least the situation he was worried about did not happen - the workers were happy to work overtime.
Finally, when the hour hand pointed to eight o'clock and the bell rang for the end of work, although the workers were a little tired, they still had smiles on their faces. When they went to the canteen to get food, their faces were full of smiles. Their smile became even thicker, not only because the meal was just like lunch, with rice, vegetables and meat, but more importantly because the factory director told them.
"Everyone must be tired. You can prepare a packed meal and take it home to eat."
Hearing this, everyone cheered. The original dinner was less, and this box of lunch can be taken home. Eat it as breakfast.
It must be said that this generation is used to being frugal, and even now, they will not
While the workers were eating, Sun Dechang, who had already calculated the day's output, reported to the boss a Good news.
“Boss, according to this production schedule, there will definitely be no problem in delivering the goods on time.”
"Okay, yes, Mr. Sun. When I hired you, I knew that you, Mr. Sun, are very talented. Yes, yes, that's it..."
After thinking about it, Fang Qide said.
“Starting from this month, your monthly salary will be increased by 3 yuan!”
Promotion and salary increase!
This made Sun Dechang feel very good. After get off work, he went out to buy a roast chicken and planned to go home and let his wife have a drink with him.
