<P> As a general rule, Brazil adopts a 44 - hour working week, which typically begins on Monday and ends on Friday, with a Saturday - Sunday weekend . Brazilian Law, however, also allows for shorter Monday - to - Friday working hours so employees can work on Saturdays or Sundays, as long as the weekly 44 - hour limit is respected and the employee gets at least one weekend day . This is usually the case for malls, supermarkets and shops . The law also grants labor unions the right to negotiate different work weeks, within certain limits, which then become binding for that union's labor category . Overtime is allowed, limited to two extra hours a day, with an increase in pay . </P> <P> The working week in Chile averages 45 hours, most often worked on a Monday - Friday schedule, but is not uncommon to work on Saturdays . Retail businesses mostly operate Monday through Saturday, with larger establishments being open seven days a week . </P> <P> In China, there is a five - day Monday - Friday working week, prior to which work on Saturday was standard . China began the two - day Saturday--Sunday weekend on May 1, 1995 . Most government employees work 5 days a week (including officials and industrial management). Most manufacturing facilities operate on Saturdays as well . However, most shops, museums, cinemas and commercial establishments open on Saturdays, Sundays and holidays . Banks are also open throughout the weekend and on most public holidays . </P> <P> During the period of public holidays, swapped holidays are common between the actual holiday and weekend, so a three - day or seven - day holiday periods are created . The nearby Saturday or Sunday may be changed to a normal working day . For example, on a three - day holiday period, if the actual holiday falls on a Tuesday, Monday will be swapped as a holiday, and citizens are required to work on the previous Saturday . </P>
