Many people mistakenly believe they must work continuously for the same employer for 12 months before becoming eligible for paid annual leave. However, this is a misunderstanding of the law. According to China’s ‘Regulations on Paid Annual Leave for Employees’ and its implementation guidelines, employees are entitled to paid annual leave as long as they have accumulated at least 12 months of work experience—regardless of whether that experience was with one or multiple employers. This means that even if you’ve just joined a new company and haven’t completed a full year there, you’re still eligible for annual leave from your first day, provided your total work history adds up to 12 months or more.The number of annual leave days depends on your total years of service: 5 days for those with 1–10 years of experience, 10 days for 10–20 years, and 15 days for 20 years or more. Employers cannot deny annual leave solely because an employee hasn’t worked at their current company for 12 months. If an employer unlawfully denies this right, the employee may file a complaint with labor inspection authorities or apply for labor arbitration.Therefore, the claim that ‘you must work 12 months at the same company to take annual leave’ is false. What matters is your cumulative work experience, not just your tenure at your current employer.
很多人误以为必须在同一单位连续工作满12个月后才有资格享受带薪年假，其实这是对法律规定的误解。根据《职工带薪年休假条例》和《企业职工带薪年休假实施办法》，职工只要累计工作满12个月（包括在不同单位的工作时间），就依法享有带薪年休假权利。这意味着，即使你刚入职新单位不满一年，但如果你之前有工作经历，累计工龄已满12个月，那么从入职第一天起就应享有年假。具体年假天数则根据累计工作年限确定：工作满1年不满10年的，年休假5天；满10年不满20年的，10天；满20年以上的，15天。用人单位不得以‘本单位工作未满12个月’为由拒绝员工休年假。如果单位违法剥夺员工年假权益，员工可向劳动监察部门投诉或申请劳动仲裁。因此，“同一单位工作12个月才能休年假”的说法是错误的。关键在于‘累计工作时间’，而非仅限当前单位的工作时长。
