Right to high temperature compensation

高温权利(gaowen quanli)

The Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security issued an announcement recently requiring employers to provide a high-temperature allowance to their employees according to the laws and regulations. However, in many places the high temperature allowance is an empty right that employees, especially employees in small-and medium-sized enterprises and migrant workers, cannot enjoy, as the requirement fails to be carried out in many areas. Some enterprises even use mung beans or beverages as a replacement for such allowance.
