How to take the Mid-Autumn Festival holiday in 2020? Why are Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day on the same day this year?
It is already August, and many friends have started to pay attention to the National Day holiday. After all, the National Day holiday is relatively long in a year. Since Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day fall on the same day this year, the holidays have also changed. So, how will the Mid-Autumn Festival holiday be arranged in 2020, and why are the Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day on the same day? Let’s take a look together below! As the eighth month of the lunar calendar arrives, the autumn atmosphere becomes stronger. For people who value traditional culture, what will the eighth month of the lunar calendar in 2020 be like? Please visit Mr. Shui Mo's website for a more detailed introduction.

How will the Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day holidays be arranged in 2020?

The holiday will be from October 1st to 8th, a total of 8 days. Work on September 27 (Sunday) and October 10 (Saturday).
In 2020, the Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day are on the same day, October 1st. The Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day were on the same day in 1944, 1963, 1982, 2001, 2020, 2031, etc. It occurs approximately once every 19 years.

Why are Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day on the same day?

Astronomical experts said that this situation is mainly the result of the leap month. Zhao Zhiheng, director of the Tianjin Astronomical Society, said: "If the lunar calendar's leap month is added before August, it will most likely result in the Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day 'happily coincide'."
The Chinese lunar calendar stipulates that a long month has 30 days, a short month has 29 days, and a year has 12 months, totaling 354 or 355 days, which is about 11 days less than the number of days in a tropical year. Over four years, that means more than a month less.
Over time, strange phenomena such as disorder of time and weather will occur. In order to solve this problem, the method of adding a "leap month" was adopted.
This year, the leap month occurred in June, which not only postponed the Chinese Valentine's Day, but also the Mid-Autumn Festival. In addition, the lunar Mid-Autumn Festival generally occurs between September 7 and October 6 in the Gregorian calendar, resulting in the calendar phenomenon of Mid-Autumn Festival coinciding with National Day.

Will I get six times the salary for overtime work on the same day as Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day?

The Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day fall on the same day, so overtime pay will still be triple pay.
Overtime work during the Mid-Autumn Festival, which is also National Day, will be worth triple the pay. Although the two statutory holidays overlap, overtime and notice are still tripled. According to the holiday regulations of the State Council, only the Mid-Autumn Festival is a legal holiday, and only days 1 to 3 of the National Day holiday are legal holidays. Therefore, if employees work overtime during the Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day holidays in 2020, and they work on the first three legal holidays, employers should pay overtime wages at three times the daily wage, and the expenses cannot be offset by compensatory leave. From October 4 to 7, if employers arrange for employees to work overtime, they can choose to arrange compensatory leave for the employees or pay overtime pay at a rate not less than twice their daily wage.

How to calculate overtime pay on the same day of Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day in 2020?

The Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day in 2020 are on the same day, but the overtime pay for National Day and Mid-Autumn Festival is still three times the salary and will not be added up. The holidays on the same day of Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day in 2020 will be postponed, and overtime pay will be calculated at no less than 300% of the salary.
The 2020 Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day holidays are from October 1st to 8th, a total of 8 days. Among them, October 1st, 2nd and 3rd are legal holidays for National Day, and employees will receive triple wages. August 15th, which is October 1st, is a legal holiday for Mid-Autumn Festival, and employees will receive triple wages on this day as well. The rest time is a rest day, and the overtime pay is only double the salary.

Holiday overtime pay calculation formula

Overtime pay on rest days = monthly wage base ÷ 21.75 days × 200% × number of overtime days.
If workers are arranged to work on statutory holidays, they shall be paid wages not less than 300% of their wages.
Overtime pay on statutory holidays = monthly wage base ÷ 21.75 days × 300% × number of overtime days.
Note: Whether it is 300% or 200% overtime pay, the employer needs to pay it separately after paying the employee's monthly salary. If an employer arranges workers to work overtime on statutory holidays, it shall not replace overtime pay with compensatory leave, and overtime pay shall be paid separately at a rate not less than 300% of the worker's daily or hourly wage.
