In mainland China, people enjoy a two-day holiday every weekend, in addition to other holidays, such as legal holidays, commemoration days and traditional holidays. New Year¡¯s Day, Spring Festival, Labor Day and National Day are legal holidays intended for all people in the country; Women¡¯s Day, Youth¡¯s Day, Children¡¯s Day and Army¡¯s Day are holidays intended for the specific group of people concerned. The government of the region where the ethnic people live sets the customary holidays of the ethnic nationalities. If the dates of the national legal holidays occur on a weekend, as compensation there are an equal number of days off work granted on weekdays, However, if the holidays that are intended only for a specific group of people concerned occur on a weekend there is no such compensation. For Teachers¡¯ Day, Nurses¡¯ Day, Journalists¡¯ Day, and Arbor Day, there are no days off.
