In this regard, many netizens said that it is completely acceptable and the extra day can be used to do their own things.

If an employer arranges for employees to work overtime, can they refuse to pay overtime pay on the grounds that they only work four days?
If the employer implements "four days on and three days off" and works 8 hours a day, then the employee only needs to work four days a week. The other three days are rest days and not working days.
Article 44 of the "Labor Law" stipulates that if the employer arranges for workers to work on rest days but cannot arrange compensatory days off, the employer shall pay wages no less than 200% of the wages.
After changing to "four days off, three days off", can the employer resume "five days off, two days off" at will?
If the employer has clarified the mixed work system, "four days off, three days off" by amending the company's rules and regulations, changing the labor contract, etc. " and other working modes, the employer has no right to unilaterally require the employee to resume "five days on work and two days off".
