Article 36 of the Labor Law stipulates that the state implements a working-hour system in which the working hours of laborers do not exceed eight hours a day and the average working hours per week do not exceed forty-four hours. Later, the State Council announced the implementation of the 40-hour working system in the form of laws and regulations, and established the weekend system.

However, the law is bigger than the rules, and the labor law has not been revised, which leads the court to take the labor law as the standard, while the labor department emphasizes weekend rest and that it is not illegal to work five and a half days a week. If the labor department punishes your unit, your unit can file an administrative lawsuit and accuse the labor department of misconduct, and the labor department will also bear the responsibility of losing the case.

Look, who cares about that?
