All non-local employees who stay in Nantong during the Spring Festival holiday will receive an allowance; frontline workers can get 1,000 yuan each while workers in other posts will be given 500 yuan each.

A daily allowance of 300 yuan and 200 yuan will be respectively provided to frontline workers and other personnel working from Feb 7 to 18. The full-attendance bonus in February will be doubled.
