Tips

culture
Chinese statutory paid annual leave (年假) is 5 days for 1-10 years of service, 10 days for 10-20 years, 15 days for 20+ years - quite low by Western standards. In practice many private companies offer additional 福利假 (benefits leave) on top, though tech firms' 996 culture often makes taking it socially fraught.
usage
带 ('carry/with') + 薪 ('salary') = 'with salary'. Compare 无薪假 (unpaid leave). Synonym 带薪年假 emphasizes annual leave specifically; 带薪休假 is the broader term covering all paid time off.
