You’re Fired!

Chapter 16.2 Bai Duanduan’s heart stuttered all of a sudden

Ji Lin smiled, and then without any further ado, he pushed back all the personalized compensation plans that Bai Duanduan had worked so hard on for 300 employees. Then he took out another copy of information from his bag.

“This is the financial compensation plan we made for the dismissal of 189 employees.” Ji Lin gave Bai Duanduan a look, “We strictly implement the compensation plan in full accordance with the labor contract Law. For as many years as you have worked at Simon Paper, you will be compensated for a few months’ salary. Of course, you can double check if you are unsure.”

Bai Duanduan picked up Ji Lin’s proposal and gave it a cursory glance. Indeed, for each employee he had calculated the financial compensation in accordance with the strict legal requirements. Even in order to make it clear at a glance, the calculation formula is attached. Except that, as expected by Bai Duanduan, all 189 of these employees had worked at Simon Paper for less than five years, and most of them had worked for one to three years.

Song Lianjun was a bit bewildered, “What about the remaining 111 employees? As an employee representative, I have to be responsible for all of them. Everyone trusted me so much before they elected me to communicate. My 189 brothers can have legal placement, what about the remaining 111 people?”

Ji Lin raised his eyebrows and smiled,”Oh, we won’t dismiss the remaining 111 employees.”

“No dismiss?” Song Lianjun froze before he became somewhat ecstatic, “Really?” As he spoke, he flipped through Ji Lin’s list of retirement compensation plans and the more he flipped through it, the more delighted he became. He was naturally more familiar with the 300 employees than Bai Duanduan. He could tell at a glance that most of the people on the dismissal list were new employees from the last few years, while none of the old employees were there, including himself.

Song Lianjun couldn’t help but look up at Du Xinyi and said excitedly, “Lawyer Du, that’s great! It’s for the best if our old employees aren’t fired!”

After he finished, he nodded towards Ji Lin and the Personnel Director. He even wanted to stand up and shake the Personnel Director’s hand, “Mr. Xu, thank you, thank you for thinking of us old employees so much. We all have families with mouths to feed. We are old and ordinary people, unlike young people who have just entered society. Even if you ask us to resign and accept the financial compensation, we actually don’t want it. At this age, it is difficult to find a job again. Nowadays the paper industry market is not good, even if we find a new job again, the treatment may not be as good as our Simon Paper. The company can be so humane to keep us, we …… We are really grateful!”

[T/n: 老 (Lao)-

Bai Duanduan’s heart stuttered all of a sudden.

Here it comes.

She raised her head and glanced at Ji Lin, and sure enough, he flashed herself a round up and reap smile.

His smile was cold, with a touch of faint mockery and carelessness. As if his hand lifted the knife and dropped it with breezy aplomb.

Song Lianjun was also dumbfounded, “Mr. Xu, the holiday? What’s the matter with the holiday? Then, is the salary payment normal after the holiday? How long will the production line be suspended? When can we return to work?”

The personnel director glanced at Ji Lin and said, “Well, Lao Song, don’t worry, our company does everything in compliance with the law. The holiday is caused by the company’s reasons. Of course, the salary will be paid, and the social security will also be paid for. When will the production start? This…I can’t say, it’s just …” He seemed to be unable to continue, so he looked at Ji Lin for help.

“It’s just that salary will be paid according to the minimum standard in A City.” Ji Lin said without emotion, “That is, only 2,480 yuan a month.”

Song Lianjun was stunned, and finally reacted. He looked at the personnel director in disbelief, “Mr. Xu? How can this be? How can you only pay the basic salary? It is illegal for the company to do this!”

“Besides, you know the family situation of our old employees. The burden on any family is not small. If there is only a salary of 2,480 yuan a month, wouldn’t our family have to drink the Northwest Wind?” Song Lianjun’s anxious eyes turned red, “If you are going to treat us like this, you might as well just fire all of us together! I have been working in Simon Paper for 19 years, and I have to be paid my 19 months of money according to my normal salary! Adding my normal salary and miscellaneous bonuses, I still get 10,000 yuan a month! If you dismiss me, at least I can still get about 200,000 yuan!”

[T/n: Northwest wind= Its original meaning is to live by just breathing the air, not eating or drinking anything else. The significance of Northwestern wind is because with the climate of mainland China (temperate monsoon climate on the east coast of a continent), in the spring, warm eastern wind blows but in the winter, the stark wind comes from the Northwest. So 喝西北风 suggests ‘nothing to eat in a cold day’, which further strengthens the metaphor. ]

After Song Lianjun finished speaking, he looked at Du Xinyi with an agitated expression, “Lawyer Du, you have to do something for me!”

“How is it illegal?” Ji Lin’s voice was cold as usual, however, remained calm, without any ripples. ” Article 12 of the “Interim Regulations on Wage Payment” clearly stipulates in black and white, ‘If the unit is shutdown or shutdown is not caused by the labors, within a wage payment cycle, the employing unit shall pay the laborer’s wage in accordance with the standards stipulated in the labor contract. For more than one wage payment cycle, if the laborer provides normal labor, the labor remuneration paid to the laborer shall not be lower than the local minimum wage; if the laborer does not provide normal labor, it shall be handled in accordance with relevant national regulations.”

Ji Lin looked at Song Lianjun, who was confused, and smiled, “Let me explain to you thoughtfully. It means that if the company is shut down for business reasons, within the first month, you will be paid according to your original normal salary, which is more than 7,000 yuan. But from the second month onwards, even if you occasionally provide labor during the shutdown period, you will only be paid the minimum average wage of 2,480 yuan. And if you do not provide any labor, you can be paid even a lower amount than the average salary. Do you understand?”

Song Lianjun had not yet reacted, but Bai Duanduan had long understood.

Ji Lin’s move was really too cheap. He chose to fire all the employees who had worked in the company for a short period of time. Because of the short period of time, even if they were dismissed normally, they would only have to be paid 1-5 months’ salary at once compared with the social security cost and salary cost to be paid for the renewal of the contract. This was a very cost effective solution. 

For employees like Song Lianjun, who has worked long enough, he simply allowed the company to not terminate the employment contract, which on the surface looks like the company’s care for middle aged and elderly employees, but if you think deeper, this move is very precise in its play.

These employees with long working years will have to be paid more than ten months of salary once they go through the normal process to terminate the contract. Old employees generally have relatively high salaries, so termination of 111 old employees was really a huge expenditure. But if these employees continue to stay, and the company chooses to stop the production and take a complete holiday instead .……

In that case, the company only needs to pay the minimum wage as per City A’ standard……


Author has to say something:

The actual truth is that there are not a lot of companies that use this tactic, because most of the companies that shut down their production will suffer greater losses than compensating the workers (many factory places are rented, so there will be factory rent, maybe machinery and equipment rent too, etc.) In Simon Papers case, the factory land is owned, and because of the raw materials and other environmental problems, the production starts incurring a loss, so one can use this tactic to minimize loss.

[The end of this case is about to make great progress in the plot! Please hold on! Believe me (join hands, don’t go if you love me)]

    This Jilin is really ruthless and has no humanity at all, really. He needs to be taught a lesson.
    I can understand the logic he said about business, but that doesn’t mean it’s justified to treat your honest workers like that.
    Having losses is the risk an entrepreneur have to take, so it’s their responsibility to treat their workers properly unless they don’t expect them to be loyal. He’s too double standard. He’s mocking cheating workers for manipulating the loopholes in the labor law, but what is he doing now? Isn’t he doing the same,only for the other party? Does he have to push poor people to their death before he can start having any conscience? I hope he later on face someone is threatening suicide or really dying out of his ruthlessness to open his eyes.
    And he still even has no scrupples to mock others while bullying them.
    What is he any better than people he condemn?
