lawyer: Tianjian shares need to be paid back for employees

In order to further understand the situation, the reporter of daily economic news recently visited the subsidiary of Tianjian Co., Ltd. as a candidate, that is, Zhongshan Tianjian electroacoustic Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as Zhongshan Tianjian) located at No. 13 Maonan Road, Torch Development Zone, Zhongshan City, Guangdong Province. The net profits of the company in 2020 and the first half of 2021 were 25.9741 million yuan and 11.5141 million yuan respectively.

According to an employee of Zhongshan Tianjian, "the company now has five insurances and one fund, but it seems that general workers (production line employees) can choose by themselves".

In order to verify the above situation, the reporter then contacted the employee in charge of human resources related work of Zhongshan Tianjian on the grounds of application. According to him, generally, the company will pay "five insurances and one fund" to the employee, but if the employee doesn\'t want to pay, he can put forward it and sign an agreement to prove that he gives up, not the company is unwilling to pay, but after giving up, Each month will be 500 yuan more than the salary of employees who pay five insurances and one fund.

In this regard, Tianjian replied that the company has been actively promoting the coverage of social security and provident fund. At present, the company pays social insurance and housing provident fund in strict accordance with the standards of relevant national laws and regulations. The above situation does not exist for new employees. Subsequently, the company will actively publicize the policies related to social security and provident fund, actively assist in solving various abnormal problems existing in the deposit process of employee accounts, and work with employees to improve the standard governance level of the company.

Headset, headset and other audio products were produced by reporters in Zhongshan Tiankai's official account of Tiankai's official public number. The Zhongshan area has four production workshops, including Bluetooth workshop, speaker workshop, headphone workshop and injection workshop. The company implements a 5-day and 8-hour system, with a base salary of 2000 yuan / month, overtime of 17.24 yuan / hour at ordinary times, overtime of 22.99 yuan / hour on Saturday and Sunday and 34.25 yuan / hour on legal holidays.

Zhang Yue (a pseudonym), another HR employee of Zhongshan Tianjian, told reporters, "recently, the company has not recruited general workers. Taking into account overtime pay, the salary level of a general worker of Zhongshan Tianjian is generally about 4000 yuan (before tax). However, the specific situation is related to how much overtime, whether he can work at night, etc.".

"Recently, the company has not recruited general workers. Overtime is mainly concentrated on working days. Now it has a salary of more than 3000 yuan." One employee said. In terms of amount, 500 yuan may be more attractive to general workers.

But Zhang Yue said that the company's employees must buy five insurances and one fund, and they can't choose by themselves.

However, the reporter looked through many recruitment notices issued by Tianjian home from 2018 to 2020 and found that the company clearly paid "five insurances and one fund" in the recruitment of fresh graduates / previous graduates, engineers and technicians, and other recruitment showed that "the company purchased endowment insurance, medical insurance, unemployment insurance, maternity insurance and industrial injury insurance for employees", That is, only "five insurances" are promised

According to Zhao Zhanzhan, deputy director of Beijing Yunjia law firm, Tianjian shares did not pay the "five insurances and one fund" to the employees and needed to make up the payment. "this is a legal obligation, and employees\' voluntary waiver cannot exempt the enterprise from this obligation."

Lawyer Xu Feng of Shanghai Jiucheng law firm also held the same opinion. He said that although Tianjian shares said in the prospectus (declaration draft) that during the reporting period, the company was not subject to administrative punishment for violating laws, regulations and rules on social insurance and housing provident fund, the company may still face the possibility of punishment in the social security management part. If the voluntary waiver of the employee is true, it is the disposal of the employee's rights, and arbitration or litigation may still be brought within the limitation of action, which may not completely exclude the possibility of liability for the company.

When talking about whether the supplementary payment will lead to the company's performance loss in 2019, Xu Feng responded that he did not rule out the possibility of retroactive adjustment of profits.
