During the Spring Festival travel rush, express delivery personnel cannot be forcibly required to stay on duty.

Recently, the State Post Bureau issued the "2026 Spring Festival Delivery Service Guarantee Work Plan", emphasizing the need to coordinate the satisfaction of the people's delivery needs and protect the legitimate rights and interests of delivery personnel, and solidly carry out the work of ensuring delivery services during the 2026 Spring Festival. The plan clearly states that it is necessary to ensure the legitimate rights of delivery personnel to rest and vacation during the Spring Festival, to pay the salaries of employees on time, to improve the mechanism for reflecting the demands of delivery personnel, and to effectively protect the legitimate rights and interests of delivery personnel. Postal and courier companies should implement staggered holidays and rest for delivery personnel based on changes in business volume and personal preferences. Delivery personnel should not be required to stay on duty or return to work after the holiday in a compulsory manner through forms such as guarantee deposits, withholding fees, or return of assessments. Delivery personnel who work overtime during the Spring Festival holiday should be promptly and fully paid overtime pay and holiday subsidies, actively providing services such as dining, accommodation, and medical care for those staying on duty during the holidays.
