A woman with the surname Wang worked at a company in Mainland China for three years. Recently, she was suddenly summoned for a personnel interview, the reason being that she left work one minute early on six days in 2024, which led to her dismissal. This left her feeling unsatisfied, prompting her to decide to file a lawsuit in court.
In various companies, employees usually agree on their start and end times with the employer. Although some specific jobs do not require clocking in, most office workers adhere to stipulated times for arriving and leaving work. This woman, Wang, worked at a company in Zengcheng, Guangzhou, and complied with the rules for three years, only to be unfortunate enough to be called in by the human resources manager recently.
The human resources manager showed her several screenshots from videos, claiming that Ms. Wang had left work one minute early on six days in a certain month in 2024. The manager stated that according to the company’s regulations, she should be terminated. In response, Ms. Wang was very dissatisfied and promptly filed for labor arbitration and a lawsuit with the local labor bureau, bringing the case to court.
After the court hearing, although the video screenshots provided by the company indeed showed Ms. Wang leaving early on certain days by one minute, the court deemed that terminating her labor contract in such a manner was clearly unreasonable. The company had never previously issued any warnings or penalties to Ms. Wang and instead fired her several months after the incidents occurred, which was evidently inappropriate.
In the end, the court ruled that the company had illegally terminated the labor contract and ordered it to pay Ms. Wang compensation. After this labor dispute came to light, many netizens expressed their opinions online: “Why is there no subsidy for employees arriving early?”; “Just because you arrive early doesn’t mean you are diligent; leaving one minute early brands you as not working properly.”; “This kind of company deserves it.”; “The court stands on the side of justice.”
