加班(work overtime)是指在法定标准工作时间以外，正常工作日延长工作时间或者双休日以及国家法定假期期间工作，称为“加班”。
Overtime refers to working beyond legal standard working hours, extending working hours on normal working days or working during weekends and national statutory holidays, which is called “overtime”.
超时加班与体面劳动、舒心工作、全面发展不相符，与国家提倡的提升人民生活品质也脱节。如有紧急工作确实需要加班，必须补偿支付加班工资。
2021年，最高法、人社部联合发布超时加班典型案例，明确“工作时间为早9时至晚9时，每周工作6天”的内容，严重违反法律关于延长工作时间上限的规定，应认定为无效。
Overtime work is inconsistent with decent work, comfortable work, and all-round development, and is also out of touch with the improvement of people’s quality of life advocated by the country. If overtime work is indeed required for emergency work, overtime wages must be compensated.
In 2021, the Supreme People’s Court and the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security jointly issued a typical case of overtime work, clarifying that “working hours are from 9 am to 9 pm, working 6 days a week”, which seriously violates the law’s provisions on extending the upper limit of working hours and should be deemed invalid.
