Time:2025-08-28 Views:2014


  Abstract: In this article, the marriage and family editor of the fifth part of the Civil Code from Faneng Law Firm answers for everyone how many days of marriage leave are stipulated by the state in 2022. According to Article 51 of Chapter 4 of the new Labor Law, employers shall pay wages to employees during legal holidays, marriage and funeral leaves, and when they participate in social activities in accordance with the law.
  I. According to the provisions of the Fifth Part of the Civil Code on Marriage and Family and the Regulations on Family Planning, employees who get married can enjoy the following benefits:
  1. Number of days of marriage leave: Usually calculated as 3 days.
  There is no legal provision at the legal level, only at the administrative regulations and normative documents level. [1980] Document No. 29 of the Ministry of Labor stipulates that marriage and funeral leave should be 1 to 3 days. If the married couple are not in the same place, additional travel leave should be granted. This document was originally targeted at state-owned enterprises. Usually, we calculate it based on a maximum of three days.
  2. Number of days of late marriage leave: The total number of days of late marriage leave in various regions is 10 to 30 days.
  There are differences across the country. In the local population and family planning regulations, there are provisions. Most provinces and cities extend or increase the number of marriage leave days (in a combined relationship), while some directly stipulate the number of marriage leave days that meet the criteria for late marriage (in an inclusive relationship).
  Note: The regulations on the number of days of late marriage leave should be in accordance with the latest documents.
  The number of days is not fixed. Some provinces have made adjustments when revising the "Regulations on Population and Family Planning of XX Province (Municipality)".
  4. Late marriage: Men who get married for the first time at the age of 25 or 23.
  Ii. Salary and benefits during marriage leave and travel leave
  During the marriage leave and travel leave, the salary is paid as usual, that is to say, paid leave. If one works in a state organ, state-owned enterprise or public institution, in addition to enjoying the stipulated maximum of 3 days of marriage leave, those who marry late will receive an additional reward of 7 days of leave. If those who marry late live in towns but have no jobs, or are the owners of private enterprises, they are generally given corresponding late marriage rewards by the neighborhood committee or the town government. If those who marry late are employees of private enterprises, their bosses should also grant them marriage leave, with the duration of the leave being the same as that in state-owned enterprises.
  Knowledge summary: From the above regulations, it can be seen that the new labor law's marriage leave provisions are guiding regulations, and their specific application should be based on the detailed provisions in the "Family Planning Regulations".
