Cash subsidies, holiday benefits … What surprises did you receive when you celebrated the New Year on the spot?
Zhongxin Jingwei Client February 10 (Yan Shuxin Fu Yumei) The Spring Festival holiday is about to begin, and many people will welcome the experience at the beginning of the year. For migrant workers, it is their wish to go home for a reunion year, but in order to cooperate with the epidemic prevention and control work, they finally choose to stay in the local area.
However, many of them couldn’t escape a tangled mental journey at first, until the company’s welfare appeared in front of them on the colorful auspicious clouds … … Among them, there are "uninhibited" who directly make money, "practical" who arrange holidays, and "warm-hearted" who prepare materials. As soon as the company took the initiative, it not only retained the "return to the heart", but also retained the hearts of the people.
The first time I spent the New Year abroad, I received a 2000 yuan red envelope from the company.
Xiaojing, from Hunan, is spending the New Year in Beijing for the first time this year. Xiaojing is the only daughter in the family. She has been struggling for more than half a month on the question of "going home for the New Year". "I don’t know how to talk to my parents, and I am worried that they are ‘ You don’t have to be unable to return to ’ In the case, I still hope that I will return. " Although the starting point and destination of Xiaojing are low-risk areas, in her opinion, there are too many people involved in the round trip, so it is better not to go home.
This year, because of the epidemic, many places advocated "celebrating the New Year on the spot", including Beijing. Since mid-January, Xiaojing has been considering whether to go home for the New Year. During this period, he has been paying attention to the policies of Changsha and Beijing. "My parents must have seen the relevant news at that time, but it seems to be a tacit understanding. We didn’t mention it. I want to wait and see again until early February. "
It was xiaojing’s mother who started this topic first. "I remember that after dinner on January 23rd, my mother was in a group of three in our family @ I said that I shouldn’t be able to go back from Beijing to watch the news, so I have to celebrate the New Year on the spot. If it is confirmed that this is the case, please mail me some braised beef, pearl meatballs, canned grass carp steamed with fermented soya beans pepper, and stewed lotus root slices, which are convenient for mailing and collection. I also said that I should think of these for the time being and tell her what else I need." Xiaojing said that after seeing this news, she burst into tears. "I am very grateful to my parents for understanding me."
After entering February, Xiaojing received Hunan specialties from her mother, braised beef and pearl balls made by her own hands, and steamed buns and steamed buns sent by her roommate’s mother. The refrigerator was full of new year’s goods. Although I can’t go home for the New Year, I still have the "mother’s taste" around me.
What Xiaojing didn’t expect was that he received an "unexpected surprise" near the New Year. "Our company has always encouraged employees ‘ Celebrate the New Year on the spot ’ For employees who don’t go home for the New Year, one person gave a big red envelope of 2000 yuan. It can be said that it is an unexpected surprise to get a red envelope without extra overtime. " Xiaojing laughed.
This year’s Spring Festival, there is Xiaoxue who received the company’s red envelope. Xiaoxue is a native of Henan province. After finishing his graduate studies in Beijing, he stayed in a pharmaceutical company here. This year is Xiaoxue’s first Spring Festival since she joined the work, and it is also her first time to spend the Spring Festival in other places.
Xiaoxue said that the reason why she decided not to go home for the New Year was because it was too much trouble and because she didn’t want to give her parents any trouble. It is understood that Xiaoxue’s parents are teachers in a local middle school, and they don’t want to pass on the possible risks to the students.
"Many people in our company didn’t go back, not only those who settled in Beijing, but also many single people like me didn’t go home." Xiaoxue said that for colleagues who don’t go home for the New Year, the company gives each person a subsidy of 2,000 yuan, which is directly credited to the salary card, which is also considered as a New Year red envelope.
I booked the plane ticket long ago, but I was "persuaded" by three days off.
On the afternoon of February 4th, Ling Zhou’s mobile phone rang, and a thousand yuan red envelope issued by the Hangzhou Municipal Government arrived. In order to encourage "celebrating the New Year on the spot", Hangzhou gives 1000 yuan cash subsidies to eligible migrant workers who stay in Hangzhou for the New Year.
This 95-year-old girl from Guangxi is also spending the New Year in other places for the first time. After graduating in 2019, Ling Zhou joined a private enterprise in Hangzhou as a product manager, and "996" overtime was the norm. As early as the beginning of January, she booked a plane ticket to return home during the Spring Festival. Every year, fresh chicken and seafood are essential in the New Year’s Eve dinner in her hometown. After that, whenever something bothers her, the idea of "going home to eat mom’s cooking" is like magic, which can calm her down instantly.
With the introduction of the epidemic prevention policy for returning home, she began to waver. "Going back, troublesome, not going back, missing, it’s really tangled." Friends and colleagues around me decided to stay in Hangzhou one after another, and also persuaded her to "stay and get the red envelope together."
What really made her make up her mind was the welfare provided by the company for employees who stayed in Hangzhou for the New Year. "The trade union subsidized 600 yuan, and the department subsidized 800 yuan. The company also prepared an epidemic prevention package for us, including disinfectant, masks, alcohol, and a New Year snack package. But what attracted me most was the 3-day home leave attached. "
Ling Zhou said that the paid-off leave originally accumulated years ago will expire in March, and the company specially extended the period to September for employees who "celebrate the New Year on the spot". "I was a little sad because I couldn’t go home for the New Year, but I thought that if there were extra holidays, I could wait until the epidemic was more stable before going home to visit relatives. This measure will allow me to convince myself to stay. "
Until the day before Spring Festival travel rush, two hours before the deadline for the department to report whether to go home for the New Year, she returned her plane ticket home. Instead, I began to study the itinerary of Chinese New Year in Hangzhou. "I made an appointment with friends who stayed in Hangzhou to go skiing. This is also my first time to go skiing, and it is also a new experience in life." That day, she also called her family and promised to go home when the epidemic was stable. At that time, we should have another table of "New Year’s Eve".
Chen Xue, who also just graduated, was once depressed about not going home for the New Year. "Later, I felt that not going home was also responsible for myself, my family and the company." Chen Xue said. She works in a state-owned bank in Shanghai, and the company has arranged various collection activities for employees who spend the New Year on the spot.
"I was worried that we would be alone for the New Year. I asked if we would like to have dinner together, and organized some small-scale activities, such as board games or jiaozi. Previously, there was a vote on the Spring Festival condolences. Although we can’t go home for the New Year, the company has at least given some comfort in humanistic care, so that we will not be so lonely. " Chen Xue said.
He Yonghua, from Ziyang, Sichuan, also stayed in Beijing for the Spring Festival this year. He Yonghua works in Datun Road Store in Haidilao. This year is her sixth year in Beijing.
As in previous years, she set the "grab the ticket" prompt early. At the end of December, the news push of "celebrating the New Year on the spot" popped up on the mobile phone. Considering the children under three years old and the uncertainty of the round trip, I immediately dialed the phone of my mother in Sichuan. Mom told me on the phone, "We are all fine at home, and now the traffic is convenient. You should pay more attention outside, and it is the same when it is warm in the spring."
He Yonghua said that with the help of the company’s parent-child companionship program, she had already sent her children and in-laws to Beijing before. Although she could not "go back to her parents’ home", it was also a reunion year at her workplace. The company also sent foot baths to parents and toys to children. All this makes He Yonghua feel very warm.
Enterprises enlarge their efforts to keep employees "celebrating the New Year on the spot"
This year’s Spring Festival, in order to keep employees "on the spot for the New Year", enterprises have released big moves.
Zhongxin Jingwei reporter learned from Haidilao that during the Spring Festival, Haidilao stores will issue Spring Festival red envelopes to employees who stay in the store, while Haidilao stores, which are normally open on New Year’s Eve and the first day of the year, will also distribute the profits after deducting various costs to the regular employees.
According to media reports, a biotechnology company in Xiamen, Fujian Province previously announced that it would prepare 30 million yuan per capita at 5,000 yuan to encourage employees to stay in the local area for the New Year. In addition, the company also distributed 1000 yuan’s New Year gifts to employees who insisted on their posts on the 29th of New Year’s Day, held "a good start" lottery activities ranging from 100 to 500 yuan, as well as 1000 yuan’s Spring Festival Attendance Award and 1000 yuan’s Super-output Award for each employee.
An electronics subsidiary in Suzhou, Jiangsu Province, has prepared rich lottery prizes for employees who have stayed in the Soviet Union for the New Year, including two cars worth 80,000 yuan, as well as mobile phones, televisions and electric cars.
An aviation science and technology company in Zhengzhou, Henan Province, for employees who are willing to take the initiative to stay in Zheng for the New Year, in addition to the normal salary during the Spring Festival, they also paid a one-time bonus of more than 20,000 yuan to employees who applied to stay in Zheng for the New Year.
In order to encourage employees to "celebrate the New Year in the same place", a company in Zhejiang decided to subsidize employees who worked overtime during the Spring Festival on the basis of the original normal salary. The maximum subsidy was 6,000 yuan, with an average of more than 5,000 yuan. At the same time, the holidays will be adjusted. After the epidemic subsides, employees can enjoy paid home leave, and the company will reimburse the transportation expenses.
According to the Investigation Report on "Staying at a Job" in the Spring Festival of 2021 released by Zhaopin, as of February 1st, 21% of enterprises have implemented the policy of "Staying at a Job" to ensure the safety of employees and start work in an orderly manner after the holiday. From the specific implementation means of the measures, enterprises generally adopt the affordable way of "keeping people with money", among which "giving condolences or benefits" accounts for the highest proportion, reaching 53.4.
At the same time, under the advocacy of "warm-hearted measures to ensure the local New Year" by local governments, enterprises also actively provide support such as taking holidays, distributing epidemic prevention materials and organizing internal activities of employees to provide diversified protection for employees who spend the New Year in different places.
It is worth mentioning that, before, Xinhua News Agency issued a document saying that advocating "celebrating the New Year on the spot" cannot simply be alienated into "working overtime on the spot", let alone become compulsory overtime. For migrant workers who are willing to participate in the Spring Festival production, it is necessary to implement the salary and welfare benefits to the letter, and also to establish a post-holiday vacation mechanism. For those who do not want to work overtime during the Spring Festival, they should respect their wishes.
"This peace of mind is my hometown", this different year is also a happy year. (Zhongxin Jingwei APP)
