Eight-hour working system National laws stipulate that we should work eight hours a day. At present, all countries in the world generally implement the eight-hour working system. So, does the eight-hour work system include lunch break? Many times, many workers are very vague about this concept. Under the standard working hours system, the normal working hours per day cannot exceed 8 hours, and the excess is counted as overtime. Moreover, the daily overtime delay cannot exceed 3 hours at most, and the continuous work 12 hour has exceeded the legal overtime limit, which is suspected of violating the labor law.

It is generally believed that 8-hour working hours do not include lunch break, and reasonable lunch break can be excluded from working hours. It should be reminded that posts that implement irregular working hours and comprehensive working hours are not limited by 8 hours working hours.

The origin of the eight-hour work system;

American workers' movement in 65438+1980s. At that time, many countries in the United States and Europe gradually developed from capitalism to imperialism. In order to stimulate the rapid economic development, capitalists constantly exploit workers by increasing labor time and labor intensity. In the United States, workers have to work 14 to 16 hours a day, and some even as long as 18 hours, but their wages are very low. 1877, the first national strike in American history began.

The working class took to the streets to demonstrate, demanding shorter working hours and an eight-hour working day. 1884 in June, eight international and national workers' groups in the United States and Canada held a rally in Chicago, USA, and decided to hold a general strike on May 1886, forcing capitalists to implement an eight-hour working system. 1889 On July 4th, the socialist congress convened by Marxists from all over the world was grandly opened in Paris, France, and this historic resolution was adopted at the meeting.
