Is it against the law?

  Although Jia Guolong tried his best to say in his response that this is voluntary, "Don't do anything that does not comply with the labor law!" Is this situation suspected of illegality?

  Su Hainan, a special researcher of the Chinese Society of Labor, said in an interview with a reporter from Chinanews.com that if this is the company’s working hours system arrangement, it will definitely violate the labor contract law; if this is the company culture, it is a call in name, but it is actually implemented in a semi-mandatory manner. unethical.

  "There is also a situation where this call is only aimed at a small number of high- and middle-level management or technical personnel in the enterprise, and the workers in this category are willing to do so. It is understandable."

  Su Hainan also said that if employees voluntarily "715", it also depends on whether the company is a comprehensive calculation working hour system or a standard working hour system.

If it is the standard working hour system, the overtime part must be counted as overtime, and it is also illegal for the accumulated overtime to exceed 36 hours per month; if the accumulated overtime does not exceed 36 hours but no overtime, additional overtime pay shall be paid.

  "If it is a comprehensive calculation of working hours, and its average working hours and average weekly working hours are basically the same as the legal standard working hours, and approved by the labor department, there is no problem; but if it is '715' every week, it will definitely exceed The accumulative working hours stipulated by law are also illegal.” Su Hainan said.

  Attorney Shen Binyu, an equity partner of Beijing Zhongwen Law Firm, told a reporter from Chinanews.com that even with overtime pay, "715" is still suspected of breaking the law.

According to relevant laws and regulations, extended working hours shall not exceed 3 hours per day and 36 hours per month.

  According to the "Labor Law of the People's Republic of China", the state implements a working hour system in which workers work no more than 8 hours a day and an average work week no more than 44 hours.

The employer shall ensure that the worker has at least one day off each week.

Overtime work generally cannot exceed 1 hour per day, 3 hours per day, and 36 hours per month.

  If you work 15 hours a day as described by Xibei, except for the specified 8-hour work, that is to say, employees work 7 hours of overtime every day, and a month is calculated as 30 days, and the accumulated overtime is 210 hours.

This is far beyond the legal 36 hours.

  Shen Bindi said that in the case of employees working overtime, even if the employees are voluntary, the company still has certain employment risks, including the risks of labor inspections, the risks of being notified of criticism and fines, being reported, arbitration and litigation. risk.

  "Employees have the right to refuse '715', and employers shall not force employees to work overtime against their wishes. Employees have the right to require employers to pay overtime according to legal standards. If employers refuse to pay, employees can report to the local labor administration department. For complaints, you can also apply for mediation at the enterprise labor dispute mediation committee, or directly initiate labor dispute arbitration."
