Recently, a netizen who claimed to be Mr. Chang broke the news on social platforms that the company used means to force himself to resign voluntarily in order to avoid paying his own layoff compensation, which attracted the attention and discussion of the majority of netizens.
Mr. Chang said he worked for an advertising agency in Xi'an, which is located in the city's most prosperous business centerHowever, since the end of October this year, the company has suddenly moved its office to the Qinling Mountains.
The sudden change of the company's office address made the employees' commuting time increase and the living facilities of the new office location inconvenient, so Mr. Chang and others approached the company's administrative staff to understand the situation.
However, the company's administrative staff told Mr. Chang and others that the company is now under such conditions, and it will not be able to change it for a while, if you want to do it here, you can continue to do it, if you don't want to do it, then you will take the initiative to send a resignation certificate, settle your salary and leave.
Mr. Chang and more than a dozen colleagues decided to leave the company after considering their actual situation. But what they didn't expect was thatFour days after they left, the company moved back to the city from the Qinling Mountains.
Mr. Chang and others who heard the news were very angry, believing that Mr. Zhang, the person in charge of the company, deliberately relocated the company to the mountainous area in order to avoid paying the layoff costs, so as to force the employees to leave voluntarily.
However, Mr. Zhang, the person in charge of the company, did not agree with the statements of Mr. Chang and others. Mr. Zhang said that the main reason why the company moved its office to the mountainous area was that the rent of the previous office was too expensive, and he did not renew the office after it expired, and the new office location was not renovatedSo I moved my office to the mountainous area for a temporary transition, but I didn't expect them to leave voluntarily.
Mr. Chang and others are obviously unacceptable to Mr. Zhang's statement. Because they believe that Mr. Zhang often deducts employees' benefits such as social security, performance, overtime pay, paid annual leave, etc. Therefore, Mr. Chang et al. chose to file a labor arbitration with the local labor department to protect their legitimate rights and interests.
According to the provisions of the labor law, enterprises must support the corresponding amount of compensation to employees for layoffs, and layoffs often cause employee dissatisfaction and social criticism, which has a negative impact on the company's image. Therefore, in order to protect their own interests and image, some enterprises often take some measures to force employees to resign voluntarily.
The author believes that for the enterprise itself, it is necessary to establish a good sense of corporate ethics and social responsibility, and abide by the labor law and relevant laws and regulations. As employees, we must be clear about our own rights and interests, protect our legitimate rights and interests, and when necessary, we can protect our interests through legal means.
