"And at least the store manager and one of the coaches have been owed for more than three months, right?"
Zhou Yi nodded and then asked, "But it's just unpaid wages. Is there anything to say about this? They can only go to arbitration first."
Fang Dazhuang shook his head and said, "If it was a normal operating company, then maybe it would be like that, but this company is not operating normally..."
"You just said that the store manager has an elderly family member in the hospital, and his life has been affected because of unpaid wages, right?"
Zhou Yi nodded again.
"Okay, I understand."
"Zhou Yi, now's the time for you to make a decision. Do you simply want your money back, or... do you want to let that gym owner go to jail?"
"Oh, it's changed owners, but that's okay, there's always someone who can get in!"
Uh-huh?
We were talking about asking for money, but how did Lawyer Fang turn it into a matter of sending someone to jail?
Zhou Xinran was also a little curious and asked, "Teacher Fang, this doesn't seem to involve contract fraud or illegal fundraising."
She had thought about it before, and the other party was very deceptive, because they really opened a gym and had been open for more than two years.
So there is no intention of "cheating money" here.
"Who said we should look at the scam, Xinran? Haven't you noticed that their employees are owed wages?"
"I seem to remember that there's a crime called refusing to pay labor remuneration!"
"Tell me, which of the two previous and current bosses of this company transferred the company's assets? And when did the transfer of company assets lead to the workers' wages being delayed?"
The two questions from Mr. Fang hit Zhou Xinran on the head, making her feel as if everything suddenly became clear.
Yes, there is such a crime!
It’s not that she doesn’t know, but this crime is rarely used nowadays.
In the past, this crime was called malicious wage arrears. Later, in the Eighth Amendment to the Criminal Law, it was changed to refusal to pay labor remuneration.
But in reality, this crime is rarely applied.
Because it punishes those who are able to provide labor compensation but do not.
But can this charge be applied to the current situation?
Wait, transfer property!
Zhou Xinran immediately thought of the crime's provisions. The sentence preceding it read: evading the payment of labor remuneration to workers by transferring property, absconding, etc.
…………
ps: The Criminal Law does not have twelve volumes, it’s just for the sake of sounding good.
