The employee falsely claimed to be suffering from depression and was admitted to graduate school.
An employee lied about suffering from depression and took sick leave, but he was secretly admitted to graduate school, and the company also paid him a salary of 400,000 yuan.
In August 2020, Mr. S took a 17-month sick leave from a technology company, during which he obtained a master's degree in applied psychology from a well-known university in Beijing with a high score of 420. The company that was kept in the dark continuously paid Mr. S a high salary, subsidies, bonuses and other payments of nearly 400,000 yuan.
In March 2022, the company fired Mr. S after discovering the hidden situation, and the two parties finally confirmed that Mr. S's behavior violated labor discipline and the principle of good faith, and he was required to return nearly 200,000 yuan of excess salary to a technology company.
This case has aroused widespread attention and heated discussions. Some people believe that Mr. S's behavior seriously violated labor discipline and the principle of good faith, and should bear corresponding legal responsibility. Others believe that companies should pay more attention to the mental health of their employees and provide the necessary support and assistance. As workers, we should abide by the company's rules and regulations, and as a company, we should also care about the physical and mental health of employees.
