Are volunteers paid for epidemic prevention and control?

There is no salary, but there may be subsidies.

I will briefly talk about this problem from three aspects in the picture.

I. Definition of volunteers

? The United Nations defines a volunteer as a person who voluntarily assumes social responsibilities, selflessly dedicates his time and energy, and does not receive any benefits.

? Another name for a volunteer is: Volunteer, Volunteer or Volunteer. It means: a person who contributes his strength to social progress for free.

? Although nucleic acid volunteers are engaged in the work of detecting nucleic acids, they are also volunteers in essence, and the work they do is public welfare labor without any reward.

Second, the definition of wages and subsidies

? Wage refers to the labor remuneration paid by the employer to the employee in the form of money after reaching an agreement with the employee according to laws, industry regulations and private agreements.

? Subsidies are also called benefits or allowances. Volunteer subsidies are generally allocated by the government, and the government provides some concessions for volunteers. For example: transportation subsidies, food subsidies and so on. Subsidies are granted by the local government according to local policies, or the person in charge of the volunteer project decides whether to grant, the amount of subsidies and specific standards according to the actual situation.

Third, personal experience.

Since August, the epidemic situation in Chengdu has become more and more serious. Wherever you go, you need to provide a 24-hour or 48-hour nucleic acid report. People queuing for nucleic acids in all districts and counties are like a long S-shaped queue. As a college student, after the summer vacation, I lie in bed and play with my mobile phone every day. One day, I happened to see a hospital on the official account of WeChat, which is a "Qingju Jinguancheng" and announced the recruitment of volunteers for epidemic prevention and control, so I signed up with great interest. Because the service time is from 9 am to 5 pm, it is clearly stated in the service situation that there is enough lunch, but there is no subsidy.

Before that, I also participated in other voluntary activities, most of which were without subsidies. There are only a few subsidized volunteer activities, such as the "Blue Vest" charity event for caring for the elderly, and there will be transportation subsidies and catering subsidies in 50 yuan every time; On National Day, the person in charge of the amusement park recruits volunteers through the voluntary organization of the school, and the amusement park provides catering subsidies and transportation subsidies.
