The ancient history of our country's currency can be traced back to the Warring States period. Nowadays, however, what we commonly refer to as 'steel hammers', or coins, play an important role in everyday life, from taking the bus to taking change in the supermarket.
February** Dynamic Incentive Program
However, with the popularity and development of mobile payment technology, many people have stopped using coins and do not even carry cash when they go out.
Nevertheless, according to laws and regulations, no unit or individual may refuse to accept RMB as a payment method, including coins. This has also led some people to resort to this method to vent their frustration after losing a lawsuit.
According to Yan Zhao***, in Xuancheng, Anhui Province, a woman posted a paragraph on social **, claiming that after a labor dispute with her former employer and labor arbitration, the final mediation amount between the two parties was reduced from 24,000 yuan to 7,000 yuan. However, surprisingly, the company paid out in the form of 7,000 yuan coins.
After seeing it, many netizens said that the boss's approach was too narrow.
It's normal for such a boss to lose, obviously narrow-minded, and the company will close down sooner or later. ”
It's really morally corrupt to be so unkind even if you have already lost! ”
In the face of the doubts of former employees and netizens, the boss of the company involved did not choose to remain silent, but immediately filmed ** to fight back.
He explained that the woman had worked as an accountant and cashier at the hotel and left after six months, saying that she was taking care of a sick loved one at home. On the day of the woman's departure, the company even gave her a red envelope as a farewell. ”
The hotel has been losing money since it took over in June 2023, but despite this, the salaries of the employees are still paid on time, which is emphasized by the boss. As for the cause of the labor dispute, the boss pointed out that it was because a female employee filed a labor arbitration after leaving the company, claiming that the company had not signed a labor contract with her. The boss was confused by this because the management of the hotel's labor contract had been the responsibility of the female employee, while the contracts of the other employees were intact. However, upon closer inspection, it was found that everyone else had contracts except for the female employee's contract. In addition, some business data also mysteriously disappeared after the female employee left the company, a series of actions that raise suspicions about whether there was a premeditation.
There is a rather controversial scene, the boss bluntly said that he lost the labor arbitration, but it is illegal to refuse to accept RMB, and he said while picking up a box of coins, implying that although he lost the lawsuit, he would not let the other party have an easy time.
In response to the boss's accusations about the labor contract, the female employee responded in the ** comment area. She denied the allegations of stealing the contract, noting that it was only after arbitration that the boss rushed to draw up employment contracts for all employees. She argues that her boss's accusation that she stole the contract is a complete frame-up.
Currently, the female employee refuses to accept the coins and has applied for enforcement. The two sides are at loggerheads, but the only thing that is certain is that one of them is lying, and only the two of them know the truth.
According to the Labor Contract Law, the employer should sign a formal written employment contract with the employee. Employers who do not sign a written employment contract will face legal consequences such as paying double wages.
In this case, a woman claimed that she had not signed an employment contract with the company, which became one of the main grounds for her initiating labor arbitration.
With regard to the outcome of labor arbitration, the arbitration commission's decision is based on the evidence provided by both parties and the provisions of the law. The mediation amount was reduced from 24,000 yuan to 7,000 yuan, indicating that the two parties finally reached a certain settlement agreement.
In view of the decision of the Tribunal, there is no need to discuss the dispute between the parties further at this time, and the matter has been resolved.
However, the company chose to pay the compensation in coins. Although from a legal point of view, coins are also legal tender and have the effect of payment, this payment method is obviously vindictive in nature and is not conducive to maintaining harmonious labor relations.
Similar cases have occurred before, also involving labor disputes. The owner of a company used 4 sacks of more than 20,000 yuan coins to pay off the execution money due to dissatisfaction, but the court refused to accept it and was characterized as malicious payment. He was fined 50,000 yuan on suspicion of obstructing justice.
It can be seen that the coin payment of compensation is subjectively malicious. Although it does not seem to be illegal, it has brought great trouble to the parties or enforcement personnel, consumed a lot of time and energy, and hindered judicial enforcement. Employers should handle labor disputes in a more mature and rational manner.
Finally, it is important to emphasize that even in the face of an adverse arbitration outcome, it is important to maintain a professional attitude and take legal and reasonable ways to resolve the issue. Although the boss's actions may not technically violate the law, in the long run, they can damage the reputation of the business, affect the normal operation of the business and the stability of the employees. This has been clearly recognized in the online **.
