Take the "epidemic" fancy pay cuts, beware of being smart instead of being mistaken

During the epidemic, some employees complained about the "wonderful" experience of salary reduction: Some people received a call from HR and were told that their salary was reduced by 10%; some people were deducted for not responding to WeChat group news in a timely manner; and some people's company's performance was still being reduced salary. (See Workers' Daily on March 26)

The epidemic has impacted the economy. In order to overcome the difficulties, some companies have reached a consensus with employees and adopted measures such as reducing wages and benefits to control operating costs. However, some companies have adopted random and compulsory exquisite salary reduction measures, which is unreasonable and unfounded. To some extent, this is a reflection of the unequal status and rights of some local workers and enterprises. By virtue of their advantageous position, enterprises have introduced some wonderful regulations, and it is difficult for them to find employment under the epidemic situation, so that some companies seem to have found a "reasonable" basis, and their employees can only continue to be patient.

It is a very special means in the extraordinary period. It seems that various types of salary reductions can quickly reduce operating costs, and it is difficult for workers to refute, but it is also easy to hurt the company itself.

According to the relevant provisions of the Labor Contract Law, when an employer formulates, revises, or decides on rules and regulations or major issues that directly concern the immediate interests of workers, it shall discuss the workers' congress or all employees, put forward plans and opinions, and be equal with the trade union or employee representatives Determined through negotiation. In February, the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security issued a notice stating that if an enterprise suffers from difficulties in production and operation due to the impact of the epidemic, it can stabilize the job by negotiating with employees to adjust pay, rotation, and shortening working hours. In other words, it is against the law to unilaterally decide to reduce wages or deduct wages from employees without consultation during the epidemic.

The infringement of employees' rights and interests during the epidemic situation may cause more labor disputes in the later period and damage the reputation and long-term development of the enterprise; on the other hand, arbitrary salary reductions and layoffs will cause people to float and lose brains. Recruit new recruits after the epidemic There are also costs to pay.

The epidemic is a magnifying glass. The reasonable and legal compensation system not only shows the feelings of an entrepreneur, but also infiltrates the way of business success. On the contrary, some wage reduction behaviors also sent a negative signal to the market that "this company cannot do it" when they were on the verge of breaking the law.

Modern enterprise management emphasizes people-oriented, standardized management, respect for the law and morals, and respect for the rights and interests of laborers. Of course, the supervisory authorities should take the initiative to intervene, promote standardized management of enterprises, strengthen equal communication between enterprises and employees, adopt diversified assistance policies, and help enterprises and workers pass the epidemic situation together.
