Activities organized by the unit and voluntarily participated by employees shall not be regarded as the requirements of the employer and overtime work;

2. The contents of weekend meetings and training are usually easily recognized as the embodiment of the will of the employer;

3. Under the standard working hours system, weekend meetings and training are easily considered to be outside the standard working hours.
