Lunar New Year is a day off according to the regulations of employees, however, due to the characteristics of work or production and business needs, many businesses can still ask employees to go to work on this day. Going to work on the Lunar New Year holiday is voluntary on the part of the employee and no employer has the right to force the employee to work on this day. If the employee agrees to go to work on the right day of the Lunar New Year, it will be considered overtime and be paid a much higher salary than the average day.
