The Shandong provincial government agreed that nine departments, including the Provincial Health Commission and the Organization Department of the Provincial Committee, jointly issued the “Notice on Further Implementation of Marriage and Childcare Leave Regulations”, clarifying the responsibilities of employers, competent departments, industry systems, social supervision and territorial management. The notice requires employers to strictly implement statutory vacation standards. In principle, leave must not be reduced; 15 days of marriage leave, 3 more days for pre-marital medical examinations; 158 days of maternity leave for female workers, no less than 15 days for spousal paternity leave; parents of infants and children under the age of 3 enjoy a cumulative total of not less than 10 days of childcare leave each year; and nursing leave must not be linked to annual assessments for people aged 60 or over who are sick and hospitalized to give their only child a cumulative total of 10 days per year and a total of 7 days of nursing leave per year for non-single children; wages and benefits do not change during the vacation period, and leave must not be linked to annual assessments. Approval must be “immediate application and approval”, and employees must not be implied to voluntarily give up their vacations or induce them to shorten the length of their vacations.
