Another factory has closed and more than 900 workers are about to lose their jobs.
With more than 900 employees facing unemployment overnight, how can workers protect their rights? Two days ago, Mr. Li learned from multiple channels that the Xin'an Electric Appliance Factory will end its operation on August 18, 2023, that is, it will go out of business. All employees received an announcement to all colleagues, two of which are very important for part-time workers. Mr. Li will focus on these two provisions.
First, the factory stated that it would pay the corresponding economic compensation in accordance with the provisions of Articles 46 and 47 of the Labor Contract Law. The severance payment is calculated on August 18, 2023, at which time the employment contracts of all employees will be terminated by law. I carefully read the provisions of Articles 46 and 47 of the Employment Contract Law and knew that the corresponding economic compensation was paid. In other words, if you have worked for n years, you will be paid n months' salary compensation, and if you have worked for less than one year but more than six months, it will be calculated as one year. If this can really be implemented, the salary of employees can still be guaranteed.
Second, the factory does not currently clearly inform employees when they need to work. The paper notice simply announced the end of operations on August 18 this year. The deadline for severance payments is also August 18. At present, after the company announced its dissolution, the employees have not made any comments on the compensation plan. However, Mr. Li learned that some employees have already started to leave.
In fact, Xin'an Electric has already experienced a reduction in orders this year, and has also experienced a reduction in employees, which reduced by about half of its employees at that time, and was also compensated in accordance with the relevant provisions of the Labor Contract Law. At present, the company has more than 900 employees, of which the proportion of employees who have worked for more than one year is not small. The company's peak was two years ago, when the number of employees reached four to five thousand, but in the end the factory could not hold on.
Therefore, if you believe in Mr. Li, please do not leave easily at this time. If you can take the job now, stick with it until the end of the year. If you really don't want to work, look for another job as soon as possible.
Industries such as new energy, semiconductors, and auto parts have higher salaries and are suitable for young job seekers. Industries such as food, electronics, cosmetics and other industries have lower salaries, but the work is relatively easy and suitable for women. Industries such as gig workers and machine factories can learn technology, and people with skills can also enter these industries. All in all, August and September are good times to find a job. The summer vacation workers have left, and the New Year will be celebrated in a few months, and it is a good opportunity when the wages will rise.
