Recently, an outrageous request from a company in Shandong has attracted public attention. According to reports, the company stipulates that employees must work overtime until 10 p.m. and are not allowed to take time off, otherwise they will be considered absenteeism. This news sparked widespread controversy and dissatisfaction. Through this incident, it can be seen that the attitudes and practices of some companies towards the problem of overtime work of employees have aroused the public's concern and thinking about labor rights and interests.
The incident occurred in a company in Shandong, where a new employee named Xiao Wu took a day off during normal off-duty hours due to family matters. However, when he went to work the next day, Xiao Wu was asked to fill out a resignation application form and was told that he had to leave his job voluntarily. Xiao Wu was puzzled by this sudden situation and refused to sign the resignation application. At present, Xiao Wu has applied to the arbitration institution for arbitration, hoping to protect his rights and interests.
This incident has sparked attention and discussion in the world. The lawyer argued that the company's practice violated the provisions of the labor law. According to the Labor Contract Law, an employer shall not force an employee to work overtime, and the increase in work tasks shall be agreed upon by the employee. The company asked employees to work overtime in disguised form by "taking leave to count absenteeism", which clearly violated relevant regulations.
The company's explanation for this matter is that they do not match the new employee's major and position, so they want to examine the attitude of the new employee. However, this explanation has not been recognized and supported by the public. For many new hires, the mismatch between their major and their role doesn't mean they should be treated and exploited unfairly. Companies should clearly define the requirements and responsibilities of the job when hiring employees, rather than putting the blame on new employees at the beginning.
Judging from the course of the incident, the company's actions violated the corresponding labor laws and infringed on the rights and benefits of employees. The company is obviously violating the provisions of the labor law by forcing employees to work overtime in disguise. This kind of oppression and exploitation of employees with rights is not only illegal, but also extremely inhumane and should be condemned and sanctioned by society.
For such violations of laws and regulations, the lawyer believes that workers have the right to publicly expose and report. Employers cannot force employees to work overtime and deprive employees of their legitimate rights and interests by using their own regulations to override laws and regulations. Therefore, workers should be brave and protect their legitimate rights and interests in accordance with laws and regulations.
At the same time, it also reminds employers that forcing employees to work overtime has become the focus of public attention, and the rights and benefits of employees cannot be ignored. Companies that treat employees with a coercive attitude and exploit them are doomed to not go far. A truly good company should care about the physical and mental health of its employees and create a positive and harmonious working environment.
The occurrence of this incident has aroused people's attention to the rights and interests of employees and legal protection, and also reminded us to strengthen the supervision of the company's management and improve legal awareness.
First of all, it is the company's responsibility to protect the rights and interests of employees. Companies should clearly define the job requirements and responsibilities when employees are hired, and ensure that reasonable overtime arrangements are made within a reasonable range. Employees should not be treated unfairly on the grounds that their majors do not match their positions.
Secondly, employees should also strengthen their legal awareness and awareness of rights protection. Workers should know their rights and interests and the means of legal protection, and be brave enough to protect their legitimate rights and interests. In the event of a similar incident, they can protect their rights through legal channels and apply to an arbitration institution for arbitration to protect their rights and interests.
Finally, society should condemn and sanction violations involving the rights and interests of employees. Only when illegal acts are severely sanctioned and condemned can the rights and interests of employees be effectively protected, and employers can be urged to fully fulfill their responsibilities and establish good labor relations.
All in all, this incident is a wake-up call for us. It is imperative to protect the rights and interests of employees, pay attention to the improvement of legal awareness, and strengthen the supervision of the company's management. It is hoped that through the attention and appeal of the first employer, the employer can face up to the problem, correct the improper practice, and create a better employment environment and conditions for employees.
