CONCLUSION
Labor law, as the legal system regulating labor relations, aims to ensure fair
employment and reasonable working conditions. The need for its existence stems
from the protection of the basic rights and interests of employees, so as to maintain
social balance and justice. Under the framework of the labor law, the holiday system
has been set up to promote work-life balance and improve the quality of life and
work efficiency of employees. At the same time, reasonable overtime wage
regulations can help motivate employees, avoid overwork, and provide financial
returns for overtime work. These regulations jointly build fair and reasonable labor
relations, protect the rights and interests of workers, and promote the stability of
labor-management relations and the realization of social justice at the social level.
Therefore, the definition and implementation of labor law, especially in terms of
working hours, holidays and overtime pay, is of great significance for social balance
and justice.
