Recently, the Hai'an Municipal People's Court heard a labor contract dispute case. In this case, Wang, an employee of a company in Nantong, was dismissed by the company on the grounds of serious violations of discipline and refused to pay compensation for repeatedly going to a restaurant a few minutes in advance. After the court trial, it was finally determined that the company had illegally terminated the labor contract and needed to pay compensation of 20,000 yuan to Wang.
It is understood that during his work in the company, Wang went to the restaurant several minutes earlier than the specified time to get off work. The company believed that Wang's behavior seriously violated the company's rules and regulations and was a serious violation of discipline, so it decided to dismiss him. However, Wang believed that his actions did not violate the company's regulations and filed a lawsuit with the court.
During the trial, the court held that the company could not provide evidence to prove that the Employee Management Regulations were formulated through statutory democratic procedures, and the relevant provisions could not be used as a basis for determining the rights and obligations of both parties. Therefore, the court held that the company's decision to terminate the labor contract was illegal and that it was necessary to pay Wang 20,000 yuan in compensation.
This case has aroused widespread concern from all walks of life. Some netizens believe that the company should have the right to manage the behavior of employees, and employees should also abide by the company's regulations. However, some netizens believe that companies should follow legal procedures when formulating rules and regulations to protect the legitimate rights and interests of employees.
Regarding the verdict of this case, some legal experts said that the court's verdict was correct. According to the provisions of the Labor Contract Law, employers shall formulate and improve labor rules and regulations in accordance with the law to protect the legitimate rights and interests of employees. If the company's rules and regulations are not formulated through legal democratic procedures, they cannot be used as a basis for determining the rights and obligations of both parties. Therefore, the company should follow the legal procedures when formulating rules and regulations to protect the legitimate rights and interests of employees.
At the same time, employees should also comply with the company's regulations and systems. Although it may seem like a small thing to go to the restaurant a few minutes in advance, it is also a sign of respect and compliance with the company's rules. Employees should be aware that their behavior may affect the normal operation and management of the company, so they should consciously abide by the company's rules and regulations.
In addition, this case also reminds employers that they should follow legal procedures and legal provisions when formulating and enforcing rules and regulations. If the employer terminates the employment contract in violation of the law, it will face legal sanctions and punishments. Therefore, employers should strengthen the training and education of employees, improve their legal awareness and literacy, and avoid illegal acts.
In short, the judgment of this labor contract dispute case is of great significance for protecting the legitimate rights and interests of employees. Employers should formulate and improve labor rules and regulations in accordance with the law to protect the legitimate rights and interests of employees. At the same time, employees should also consciously abide by the company's regulations and systems, and jointly maintain a good working environment and social order.
