How many days off will be given on October 1, 2020?

Next year, National Day and Mid-Autumn Festival will be on the same day? Does it mean that there will be one less holiday in 2020? When National Day and Mid-Autumn Festival coincide on the same day, how many days of holiday will the country provide? The editor estimates that it will be about 7-8 days, with one less day off. If you have experienced the National Day or Mid-Autumn Festival holiday, you should know that you have to make up for it every time. I hope that next year, National Day and Mid-Autumn Festival will be on the same day, and we can have a normal holiday!

Why will National Day and Mid-Autumn Festival fall on the same day next year?

When I was looking at the hot searches on Weibo today, I accidentally discovered that National Day and Mid-Autumn Festival will fall on the same day next year.

I clicked in to look at the calendar and found that it was true. October 1st in the Gregorian calendar and the Mid-Autumn Festival on August 15th in the lunar calendar coincide with each other and are the same day. So how will the State Council take holidays next year?

Even though we haven't even had a National Day holiday this year, everyone has already started thinking about next year. This shows how much everyone is looking forward to the short holiday.

How many days off will be on October 1, Mid-Autumn Festival?

7 days or 8 days

Many netizens said that there will be one less holiday next year, such as the Mid-Autumn Festival, but some netizens said that it would be fine to have 8 days off without having to make up for the work. Some netizens with more creative ideas asked if they go to work during these days without taking holidays, would they get six times the salary?

In theory, they should still have seven days off, and then just make up one day of work on the weekend before or after. The reason why they had eight days off in 2017 was because the National Day holiday happened to coincide with two weekends, which is completely different from this year. There is no reason to have eight consecutive days off this year. If next year is not a seven-day holiday, it will be adjusted in accordance with public opinion like this year's May Day holiday. In theory, it should still be a seven-day holiday.

I have to say, those who say seven or eight days have some reason. Those who say ten days don’t know that the Mid-Autumn Festival is legally one day, the National Day is legally three days, and the rest are all adjusted to the weekend, right?

Will working during the 11th of November 2020 earn 6 times the salary?

No, it is still 3 times, so don’t think too much.

The 2020 National Day holiday is still a 7-day holiday from the 1st to the 7th, but one day is reduced. Because the legal National Day holiday is only 3 days, including the 2-day weekend, usually 2 days are adjusted off and 2 days are made up. Then there is a legal holiday for the Mid-Autumn Festival in the middle, which is reduced by 1 day, so 1 day is adjusted off and 1 day is made up.
