Part Time Tour Guides Are Looking Forward To Signing A Labor Contract.

As the new year approaches, many part-time tour guides in the tourism industry are worried about whether they can sign a labor contract with the travel agency.

From January 1st next year, the labor contract law shall be implemented. The travel agency must pay the tour guide's salary strictly and pay three risks according to the contract.

Many part-time tour guides worry that the new law standardizes the employment system, which is a good thing. But because of the particularity of the tourism industry, it may be directly affected by itself that it will face the fate of being eliminated.

A tour guide has never signed a labor contract for eight years.

Leaf, 27 years old, worked part-time tour guide for 8 years, and has won the top ten tour guide title of travel agency.

The leaf opened a secret to the journalist in this industry: many part-time tour guides did not have labor contract protection, although some travel agencies said they had signed a labor contract with the tour guide, but in fact most of them did not implement it.

According to the leaves, in the past few years, there have been large travel agencies for part-time tour guides on three risks. Now, with the intensification of market competition, they are rarely given.

After 8 years of travel, he has never signed a labor contract, let alone three risks.

He called himself a "no wage, no subsidy, no security" three no staff.

"Part-time tour guides never have the basic salary, and the only source of income is to earn kickbacks through tourist shopping."

The leaves feel pressure to survive. He hopes to sign a labor contract, so that he has the most basic guarantee.

Facing wait-and-see attitude in the new law industry

According to the manager of the Sales Department of an international travel agency in Beijing, as a result of the obvious tourism season, tour guides are mostly part-time guerrillas. These guides or affiliated to a travel agency or travel together for many travel agencies, and the labor relations between travel agencies are relatively loose. Travel agencies generally do not pay their salaries and pay various kinds of insurance risks, and their income is mainly obtained by the group.

Many part-time tour guides are hard to protect their rights and interests, and often become the direct victims of big price wars between travel agencies. Once the team with "zero and negative fare" is received, the quality of service that visitors will receive will be greatly reduced.

Many travel agencies show a wait-and-see attitude at the current pitional stage where the new law has not yet been implemented.

According to the manager's analysis, after the implementation of the labor contract law, some travel agencies in order to avoid risks and reduce the burden of enterprises, it is likely not to sign labor contracts with tour guides and other practitioners, so that the basic social security of employees can not be implemented.

The impact of changing the role of the new law is benign.

The labor contract law, which is about to be implemented, will further standardize the employment system of travel agencies, pforming from affiliation and part-time work to factual employment.

Therefore, the industry believes that the impact of the new law on affiliation and part-time tour guides is inevitable, but this will not cause too much pressure on the tour guide.

"Part-time tour guides can also protect their rights by signing a contract with a travel agency to fulfill certain tasks and tasks. Meanwhile, more part-time tour guides may move from the travel agency to the tour guide service center."

The staff of the Beijing Tourism Bureau said that the new law had better protection for the tour guides who signed the contract. It is foreseeable that the travel agency will attract tourists to join the group with quotations of "zero and negative fare", and earn a "rebate" and other undesirable competition phenomena through tourist destinations and tourist shopping, which will be more effectively controlled.

The staff said that the impact brought by the new law is benign: this kind of impact will help improve the service quality of the travel agency and the quality of the tour guide, and more importantly, promote the development of the travel agency's employment to a more stable direction.
