Fujian： The high temperature allowance issued for five consecutive months shall not be offset by heatstroke prevention and cooling drinks.

　　Xinhua News Agency, Fuzhou, July 9 (Reporter Wu Jianfeng) In the midsummer season, many places in Fujian have continuously issued high-temperature orange warnings. Fujian Provincial Department of Human Resources and Social Security recently issued a notice, in order to reduce the impact of continuous high temperature weather on the work and health of employees, all employers should arrange their work scientifically and reasonably, and pay the high temperature allowance in full, and they should not take the way of offsetting it with heatstroke prevention and cooling drinks.

　　According to the regulations, if all employers arrange for workers to engage in outdoor open-air operations in hot weather above 35 degrees Celsius and cannot take effective measures to reduce the workplace temperature below 33 degrees Celsius, they should pay high-temperature allowances to workers. May is calculated according to the actual high temperature days in 12 yuan/day, and June to September is calculated according to the 260 yuan/month or the actual high temperature days in 12 yuan/day.

　　The relevant person in charge of the labor inspection department of Fujian Provincial Department of Human Resources and Social Security said that in addition to granting high-temperature allowance according to regulations, all employers should arrange their work scientifically and reasonably according to production characteristics and specific conditions, and take measures such as appropriately increasing the rest time of workers and reducing outdoor operations during high-temperature periods to ensure safe production. If the daily maximum temperature reaches 40 degrees Celsius or above, the employing unit shall stop outdoor open-air operations on that day; When the maximum daily temperature reaches 37 degrees Celsius or above and 40 degrees Celsius or below, the employer shall not arrange outdoor open-air operations for workers for more than 6 hours, and the continuous operation time shall not exceed the national regulations, and outdoor open-air operations shall not be arranged within 3 hours of the maximum temperature; When the daily maximum temperature reaches more than 35 degrees Celsius and less than 37 degrees Celsius, the employer shall take shifts and take turns to shorten the continuous working time of the workers, and shall not arrange the outdoor workers to work overtime.

　　In the next step, the human and social departments at all levels in Fujian Province will organize employers to carry out self-examination and self-correction on the implementation of the high temperature allowance regulations. Further unblock the channels for reporting and complaining, and accept and investigate violations of working hours and high temperature allowances during hot weather according to law. At the same time, strengthen labor security supervision and law enforcement, combine the work of eradicating wage arrears, and focus on the construction, transportation, logistics and express delivery, dock and dock, environmental sanitation, processing and manufacturing industries of outdoor open-air operations and high-temperature areas, and carry out inspections on employers’ compliance with high-temperature allowance laws and regulations. Those who violate labor security laws and regulations will be severely punished according to laws and regulations.
