Our country’s economy has gone through different periods of development, becoming more progressive and modern, in which one factor that plays a dominant role throughout and has contributed significantly to its success is the source of energy, human resources. At any stage, workers always play an extremely important role in the development of the economy. To do so, we must ensure the rights of workers and motivate them to work to create high-quality products and stable productivity. However, human labor power is limited, so workers have the right to rest reasonably and scientifically. Given the current trend of industrial development in the 4.0 era, appropriate of working hours and rest times for workers is also an issue worthy of attention. On that basis, the article focuses on analyzing legal regulations on working hours and rest hours of workers, thereby pointing out unreasonable points and proposing perfect solutions.
