A number of provinces and municipalities across China, including Hebei, Jiangxi and Chongqing, have issued new policies, calling on companies to create 2.5 day weekends.


Under the plan, government institutions, state-owned companies, joint-ventures and privately-held companies are to be given incentives 1 to allow their workers to take off at noon on Friday before coming back to the office on Monday.


Since being announced in November, the idea has begun gaining traction 2.


"It's a good thing for us, because we can obviously take more time to relax."


"I think it's a good idea. There are so many people commuting 3 on Fridays. The traffic is usually very crowded."


In adopting the policy, the State Council, China's cabinet, says it hopes to create "favorable conditions," to give employees more family time, as well as stimulate 4 tourism.


Liu Simin, deputy-Secretary General of the Beijing Tourism Society, says having 2.5-day weekend can help satisfy people's desire for more short trips.


However, he notes the new policy is limited in scope.


"Three key points contained in this plan suggest its only a benefit for a certain group of people. Firstly, it's not a rule, but rather a suggestion. Secondly 5, the plan is conditional 6. Lastly, it's only applied 7 to the summer months, rather than all-year round. Because of these stipulations, the coverage 8 of the 2.5-day weekend is going to be very limited."


Qin Dingbo, vice-Director of Chongqing's Tourism Bureau, notes not every company is going to be required, or allowed, to adopt the 2.5-day weekend structure.


"In implementing 9 a 2.5 day weekend, companies will still have to comply with China's laws and regulations. This means the program can't effect companies legal obligations, production or overall business. For State organizations and institutions, the extended leave program can be flexible and adjusted to fit the needs of the company so that it doesn't effect efficiency, but can also serve the people."


Under the provisions, a 40-hour work-week is still required, meaning employees who get a 2.5-day weekend are going to have to make up the hours somewhere else during their week.


A nation-wide, two-day weekend policy was first set into law in China in 1995.
