Recently, a college graduate named Xiao Qiao (pseudonym) encountered problems on the first day of employment at the Guiyang Xueersi Education and Training Institute, and she found that her salary was only 17 yuan. Xiao Qiao posted a screenshot of the contract on the Internet, which aroused widespread attention and heated discussions. The content of the contract reads: "Party B is a part-time employee and voluntarily provides Party A with relevant labor ......Party A shall pay Party B RMB 17 per month (before tax) ......In this regard, Xiao Qiao said: "I am a college graduate and am looking for a job. This institution is Xueersi Education, which has two campuses in Guiyang, and it seems that they all sign labor contracts like this, but the mobility of personnel is relatively large. It stands to reason that it should be 17 yuan an hour, which was almost the same amount when we talked about it. But I didn't pay attention to it when I signed the contract, and when I got home, I checked the content of the contract and found that it was written in 17 yuan, so I didn't go the next day. Therefore, you should read it carefully before signing the contract. ”
This incident caused many people to be shocked and puzzled. Some questioned whether it was a contract error, and others thought it was paid to work. Some people also analyzed that this is a labor contract with piecework by the hour, and only the completion of work tasks can be paid.
In the face of **concern, the reporter contacted the customer service of Xueersi Education for verification. The customer service said that the relevant information had been fed back to the relevant staff of the Guiyang institution, and was waiting for them to reply after understanding the situation. In the afternoon of the same day, the relevant person in charge of Guiyang Xueersi responded to the reporter that the situation was true, and the two sides were indeed talking about a reward of 17 yuan per hour. The $17 in the contract was a misrepresentation caused by a clerical error. In the end, the two parties did not sign the contract.
This incident has aroused people's attention and thinking about labor contracts. First of all, we need to recognize the importance of the contract, especially the need to read the contract carefully before signing it, so as to avoid similar misunderstandings and disputes. At the same time, it is also necessary to strengthen the understanding of the legal binding force of contracts to ensure that the legitimate rights and interests of workers are protected.
Secondly, this incident has also triggered people's thinking about the employment plight of college graduates. As young people who have just entered the society, they face employment pressure and a highly competitive job market. In the process of looking for a job, they need to be more vigilant and improve their legal awareness and employability to prevent similar employment pitfalls.
In addition, this incident also highlights the problems that exist in the education and training industry. Although Xueersi Education is a well-known institution, there were major errors in the labor contracts it signed with employees, which caused questions and dissatisfaction. Education and training institutions should pay more attention to the rights and interests of employees and establish a clear contract system to avoid similar mistakes from happening again.
Overall, Xiao Qiao's incident has aroused public concern about labor contracts, the employment plight of college graduates, and the education and training industry. We need to strengthen publicity and education on labor laws to improve the legal literacy and employability of young people, and at the same time call on relevant institutions to make improvements in management and norms to provide a fairer and more reasonable working environment and treatment for employees.
