The arbitrator arrived, and Zhou Yi's first labor arbitration hearing in his life began.
As usual, the arbitrator asked whether both parties needed mediation.
This is a procedure that basically all civil disputes must go through before they are resolved. It can even be said that mediation is an extremely important and even one of the core procedures in my country's judicial practice!
It runs through the entire civil litigation process, from mediation before prosecution, to mediation after case filing, to pre-trial mediation, and even after the trial, the presiding judge will routinely ask whether both parties accept mediation.
Moreover, even if someone appeals after the first trial, you will be asked whether you are willing to mediate before the second trial.
This time, before Zhou Yi could even speak, Director Wang on the other side spoke up: "Comrade, we accept the mediation. We just need to get the other party back to work."
"And as long as they are willing to come back to work, our company can pay them a bonus equivalent to their compensation!"
Huh? Now it was the arbitrator's turn to be confused. Don't think I haven't read the case file. It's clearly your company that fired this person first, and you haven't paid him a penny.
They felt indignant, so they took the arbitration route, but now you want them to go back?
What is going on?
But thinking about it, it must be a good thing if someone is willing to mediate. The arbitrator turned to look at Zhou Yi: "Young man, what do you say?"
The uncle's thinking was normal. Since the young man was fired without reason, it meant that he didn't have any next employer, so he still needed a job.
If you can go back to work, of course it’s better to go back to work!
However, Zhou Yi looked at the uncle and shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, I refuse mediation."
The arbitrator looked puzzled and asked, "May I ask why? Young man, it's not easy to find a job these days."
This statement is actually not correct. It’s not that it’s not easy to find a job, but it’s difficult to find a job that makes you feel satisfied!
Otherwise, you can go to the factory to tighten screws or go to the construction site to move bricks and putty. These are all jobs, but in comparison, more people still prefer to sit in the office, enjoying the air conditioning that makes people unable to sleep, and doing physical labor for 996 hours.
What? You said you were from a 985 or 211 university, and then you also went to get a fake degree?
Oh, that's okay...
"It's nothing, comrade. I just can't stand the overtime work at the company. I'm worried that my life will be in danger one day." Zhou Yi replied with a very solid reason.
There is no need to say more about whether to choose 996 or ICU.
The uncle nodded and looked at Director Wang, but didn't know what to say. They were the Labor Arbitration Committee, and in theory, they were responsible for those who did not comply with the labor law.
But, this matter will not be dealt with unless you report it, so it's... quite embarrassing.
Director Wang noticed this look and he really didn't want to talk anymore.
As the leader of the company, when have you ever bowed your head to the junior employees? If you don't want to go back, then don't go back. Without you, Zhang the butcher, will I only be able to eat hairy pigs?
A guy from the countryside (Lincheng) really thinks that hiring a lawyer can solve any problem!
"Since the plaintiff doesn't agree to mediation, let's go to court!"
Everything started as planned. Despite a mediation, Zhou Yi still felt a little uncomfortable with some things.
The last time Kitten Company was mediating, they were really lying with open eyes, and this time is no less!
Many people probably think that court trials are full of verbal battles, with arguments going back and forth and being very lively. But in fact, anyone who has watched some court trial videos or has watched the trial in person knows that no matter how much you say, everything must be supported by evidence!
It can even be said that for some small cases, basically after the pre-court evidence exchange, we already know the situation of your case.
For example, now people start saying that Zhou Yi was absent from work without reason, did not do his work without reason, openly insulted others in the company, etc., and violated countless company decisions.
Finally, the company had no choice but to fire him...
Yes, there is a lot of talk, but there is very little evidence.
The most important thing is that there is no labor contract!
On the other hand, on Fang Dazhuang's side, even Zhou Yi, who knew nothing about the law, could sense the other party's professionalism!
Lawyer Fang not only formed a complete chain of evidence with the salary payment records, attendance records and other contents that Zhou Yi had previously given him, but also made overtime records that Zhou Yi did not take seriously at all!
Yes, just take Zhou Yi’s daily chats with Director Wang, the HR manager, and colleagues, as well as Zhou Yi’s work records, all of which can prove that Zhou Yi had worked overtime for many days in the past.
This overtime is not voluntary but arranged by the company.
Apart from anything else, Zhou Yi was truly stunned. This is what you call professionalism!
"Well, I'm done, Comrade Arbitrator!"
Lawyer Fang sat down leisurely, and Zhou Yi came over to bring him some water. I have to say, when a skilled lawyer defends a case, the energy he puts into it is really pleasing to watch!
Enjoying Zhou Yi's service, Mr. Fang narrowed his eyes, feeling refreshed and happy!
Needless to say, this time the victory was complete. The arbitrator directly announced the result: double salary and overtime compensation, there was no way around it.
According to Fang Dazhang, it was fortunate that the period without a signed contract did not exceed a year, otherwise it would have been turned into an open-ended employment contract...
