In 2011, Feng was hired as a tanker driver by a building material company in Shenyang. According to the labor contract, Feng went to work at 8 o'clock every morning, and left work at 8 o'clock the next day. After 24 hours, he worked for 24 hours. On Saturday, Sunday and holidays, he arranged the schedule accordingly. Every year from December 25th to February 25th, the building materials company shut down in winter, and Feng has a rest.

After two years of work, Feng went to court for building materials, asking for more than 8 hours a day and overtime pay for holidays.

The court of first instance held that the characteristics of the concrete industry determine the concrete site operation of the plaintiff's post. The task is not always at all times. Therefore, the plaintiff's working hours in the defendant unit are not all working hours. Therefore, the court does not support the "overtime pay" outside the 8 hour working hours advocated by the plaintiff and the overtime pay on public holidays. But even in the form of rotation, workers should enjoy statutory overtime pay.

The court of first instance supported Feng's overtime work during the statutory holidays, totaling 2244 yuan. After the verdict of the first instance, Feng submitted an appeal. The court of second instance, after hearing the case, dismissed the appeal and upheld the original judgment.
