Article 5 - Right to Arrange Annual Leave, Pay for Untaken Leave
Based on the specific conditions of production and work, and taking into account the wishes of the workers themselves, the employer will arrange annual leave for the workers.
Annual leave can be arranged in a centralized manner within one year, and can also be arranged in sections. Generally, leave should not be arranged across years. If it is necessary for the employer to arrange annual leave for workers due to production and work characteristics, it may be arranged across one year.
If the employer is unable to arrange annual leave for workers due to work needs, the employer may arrange, with worker consent, for workers to not take annual leave. In this case, for the number of days of annual leave that a worker should take, the employer shall pay the annual leave salary according to 300% of the worker’s daily wage.
第五条
单位根据生产、工作的具体情况，并考虑职工本人意愿，统筹安排职工年休假。
年休假在1个年度内可以集中安排，也可以分段安排，一般不跨年度安排。单位因生产、工作特点确有必要跨年度安排职工年休假的，可以跨1个年度安排。
单位确因工作需要不能安排职工休年休假的，经职工本人同意，可以不安排职工休年休假。对职工应休未休的年休假天数，单位应当按照该职工日工资收入的300%支付年休假工资报酬。
