探亲假(tanqin jia)

Since 1981, a regulation of the State Council has granted domestic workers paid leave to visit their families once a year if they live far from parents or spouse. A staff member that is single may visit his or her parents up to 20 days a year while a married one can enjoy 20 days every four years; a married worker who lives far from his or her spouse is entitled to 30 days paid leave every year.
