Recently, Ms. Zhao applied for a job for a technology company in Jiangsu, and in terms of salary, the company stipulated that every 3,000 points would be converted into a whole month's salary after the points were awarded every month. (December 26, upstream news).
According to the head of this company, the point system is an "originality" of the company. It is not uncommon for unscrupulous enterprises to "draw cakes" for employees, and some employers have used consumption coupons and meal tickets to offset wages. Using points to "draw cakes", employees need to work for 30 days a month to get 3,000 points, which is not only suspected of disguised salary arrears, but also suspected of illegally extending working hours.
Article 50 of the Labor Law stipulates that "wages shall be paid to the worker himself on a monthly basis in the form of money. Wages shall not be deducted or unjustifiably delayed. Article 5 of the Interim Provisions on Payment of Wages clearly stipulates that "wages shall be paid in legal tender. Payment in kind and in alternative currencies of value** may not be made. "The Labor Law has been in force for 28 years, and the Regulations on the Supervision of National Labor Security also have relevant clear provisions that the use of points instead of wages obviously seriously infringes on the legitimate rights and interests of workers. Workers should not listen to these "nonsense" of painting cakes to satisfy hunger, and should dare to protect their own rights and interests, and promptly complain to the local labor inspection department.
"Non-payment of wages and points" may be an individual case, but it is not uncommon to delinquish or deduct employees' wages in kind, or to force or indirectly compel employees to purchase their own goods and services. At present, there is still an asymmetry of rights and status between workers and employers, and some workers lack the confidence to argue with the overlord clause. In this case, the relevant functional departments should not stop at reminding workers to complain and protect their rights, but also improve the enforcement of law enforcement and create a first-class atmosphere and guarantee mechanism that is convenient for workers to protect their rights. Enterprises that infringe upon the legitimate rights and interests of workers should be punished in accordance with laws and regulations, increasing the cost of violating the law. Only by using the law to support the laborers can the "waist pole" of the laborers be tougher, and the strange "originality" such as "integral wages" can completely lose the living space.
