Chapter 6.2 Please don’t throw garbage at my doorstep in the future

Bai Duanduan’s heart was in a state of flux and her appetite was not good when she suffered such an unexpected flop.

She wanted to make a good impression on her opponent, but she didn’t expect to die before she was able to do so. However, Bai Duanduan was not easily discouraged. This time, she was completely motivated with a competitive heart. To her, the man next door and her case were at the same level now. And they had become a fortress that must be conquered. She had to win the case, and also get the man she admires! As for how to pursue him, why not take a long time to think about it!

Fortunately, the busy Monday distracted Bai Duanduan. According to the plan, she went to the labor arbitration on behalf of Xu Zhixin. Jianguang Electronics did not hire an external lawyer but Chen Minghua, the company’s Legal Director and Yan Xinhe, the Personnel Director. Several people from the rest of the Personnel department also appeared in court. Although they had obviously made careful preparations, it was a pity that the person they met was Bai Duanduan.

“The employee handbook, which my client never signed, does prove that he has not agreed in writing to the corporate rules that forms must be issued by the designated hospital for sick leave; at the same time, the mandatory regulations for issuing sick leave forms by the designated hospital is inherently unreasonable…”

For almost every point of their attack, Bai Duanduan had already thought of countermeasures in advance. For her, it was almost a prepared battle.

Xu Zhixin was also very cooperative. After their last meeting, he went back and issued additional sick leave slips without consecutive numbers, and now that this evidence was laid out, a very complete chain of evidence was formed. Regardless of whether it was reasonable for him to take leave for various illnesses intermittently since March, at least legally, he was not at fault and should not be deemed to have cheated on his sick leave. As the case was not complicated and the facts were clear, after the arbitration was over, the arbitrator who knew Bai Duanduan well, informed her of the outcome in private.

Although the documents of the arbitration award would be mailed a few days later, as Bai Duanduan expected and as the arbitrators also emphasized the final documents shall prevail, Xu Zhixin’s sick leave was deemed legal. The previous unilateral termination of the labor contract by the Jin Guang Electronics before the expiration of the contract term was illegal and they were required to pay double economic benefit as compensation. The payment standard for economic compensation is that one month’s salary is required for each full year of work in the unit. Xu Zhixin worked at Jin Guang Electronics for less than half a year. Jin Guang Electronics has to pay half a month’s salary as economic compensation, and because it is illegally terminated, this economic compensation needs to be doubled. In the end, Jin Guang Electronics needed to pay Xu Zhixin one month’s salary as compensation.

Although it was a technical job, Xu Zhixin’s monthly salary was not low. After calculation, Jin Guang Electronics needs to pay him 20,000 yuan in compensation.

Xu Zhixin was naturally very happy about this, and he shook Bai Duanduan’s hand and thanked her “Thank you, Lawyer Bai! For getting me the compensation. I really…really need this money in particular.” A 1.80meter tall man, after speaking of this, his eyes turned slightly red, “My family is going through a very difficult time now. With this compensation,we can survive for a while, and when my legs are better, I will find a new job.”

In addition to this compensation, Bai Duanduan knew that Xu Zhixin’s greatest struggle was being able to find a new job without scruples. Every industry had its own gossip circle, and news circulated very fast. Once Xu Zhixin was found guilty of cheating on his sick leave, there will be almost no other company in the industry willing to take over this type of employee with a problematic reputation. Once he loses the case, he will lose more than just the compensation.

He was truly grateful to Bai Duanduan, however, Chen Minghua, Jin Guang Electronics’ Legal Director, was really angry.

“The Labor Law does not protect our company at all, and is completely biased towards these unscrupulous employees!” Yan Xin, the Personnel Director of Jin Guang Electronics, is even more unacceptable of the final result. “It is too difficult to do personnel work. It is clearly the employee’s fault, and it is obvious that the employees scammed sick leave maliciously and used the company’s money to support themselves. In the end the company lost the lawsuit! The burden on the company is getting heavier, just because these employees are always exploiting the loopholes of the law to pull the wool over the enterprise’s eyes. Nowadays, as long as we have contact in the hospital, getting a sick leave slip is not difficult. Just because you can get a sick leave slip, our enterprise has to pay for you.”

She stared at Xu Zhixin, “Xu Zhixin, you know in your heart whether your sick leave ticket is real or fake. I was blind at the beginning to recruit you. You said that your family was going through difficulties. I helped you get the highest salary and company subsidies. I usually take care of any important matter for you. In return, you only worked for half a year, and you started to cheat sick leave frequently.” ; ; ; ; ;

Xu Zhixin mumbled, eventually did not speak, and also did not dare to look directly at Yan Xin. After a half pause, he only dryly said, “Sister, I know you took care of me back then, thank you…” ; ; ; ;

“Don’t call my sister! You don’t have the face to thank me! Xu Zhixin, haven’t you done enough harm to me? Just because I helped you with a high salary, now you ask for a high financial compensation. You used to cheat sick leave, and still you were paid as usual. Do you know what our boss thinks of me now? You left the company after you took the money and patted your butt. Did you leave me any face to stay at the company? This is a terrible case of sick leave fraud and this incident occurred because I personally recruited you. This is a catastrophe for our Personnel department! What if others imitate you in the future? I have been punished by the company. I beg you, be a man in the future! Don’t go around scouring other companies!”

Xu Zhixin looked pale and ugly, he bit his lip, and said with difficulty “Because I have been employed for a short time, the company does not have to pay much financial compensation. I…I am willing to make a settlement. ; I can ask for less compensation, as long as the company does not give me a dismissal letter for being expelled for faking sick leave…”

“This is not a matter of money, this is a matter of rules and regulations. Without rules a company can not continue to operate. These rules are implemented to govern every employee. People like you can cheat sick leave and withdraw from the organisation after taking the money. If there are loopholes in this regulation, more and more people will imitate it. We will never reconcile with employees who maliciously cheat sick leave. We will show all employees the company’s attitude that we will never condone people like you!” This time it was Chen Minghua, the Legal Director, who spoke up, “We are absolutely not satisfied with the verdict, see you in the court!”

Chen Minghua’s remarks were very heavy. Although Xu Zhixin won the verdict in his favour, he was very frustrated and irritated.
