half-day?s salary shall be deducted; and if he or she is late for a cumulative total of more
than one hour in a single month, a full day?s salary shall be deducted.
Liang was late for more than half an hour in May 2013, in response to which T Company
deducted a half-day?s salary ? RMB 69.66 in accordance with the work rules. In August
2013, Liang filed a written dispute over this deduction to T Company, asserting that the
deduction of his labor remuneration was illegal and asking for a refund of his salary. Liang
sent a resignation letter by email on August 22nd, alleging that since the Company illegally
infringed upon his labor rights and interests and since the corresponding system does not
conform to the law, he would legally terminate his labor contract.
14
On August 23rd, 2013 T Company organized a tripartite consultation among the company,
Liang and the labor union. During the consultation, T Company agreed to refund Liang
the deducted late-arrival penalty of RMB 69.66 to resolve the dispute.
In addition, T Company appointed Liang to a training program from September to
December 2010 at its overseas affiliate and the two parties executed a Company Training
Contract Record for this purpose. The terms of the Record provided that Liang?s term of
service would end on December 17th, 2015. They also provided that if Liang violated the
Service Agreement, he would be obligated to pay liquidated damages to T Company in
accordance with the contractual standard.
On August 26th 2013, T Company notified Liang in writing that if he wanted to leave, he
would have to pay the default fine for the training program in accordance with the Service
Agreement; otherwise his resignation would not be accepted, and that quitting his job
before paying the default fine would be treated as absence from work without due cause.
Liang sent his resignation letter and failed to show up for work. On August 29th T
Company sent Liang a Notice of Processing of Illegal Departure and dismissed him on the
grounds of three consecutive days absent from work.
On August 28th, 2013 Liang filed for arbitration with the Labor Dispute Arbitration
Committee, demanding that T Company refund the illegally deducted RMB 69.66 and pay
economic compensation in the amount of over RMB 30,000 for terminating their labor
relationship with him.
On September 6th, 2013, T Company also filed for arbitration with the Labor Dispute
Arbitration Committee and demanded that Liang pay a default fine of over RMB 50,000
for breaching the Service Agreement.
Questions:
1. Whether it was legal for the Company?s work rules to impose a deduction from the
employee?s salary based on cumulative late arrival time;
2. How would you handle dispute if you are Arbitrator/IR Manager.

Sexual harassment at work place: 14
This morning you receive an anonymous note from a female employee in your Department
who has accused John of sexual harassment. The note states that he has placed several
calls to this employee?s home and asked her out on dates. The employee has refused and
has asked John to stop calling her. The employee complaint was anonymous, but because
you only have 25 female employees in your area, you have been able to narrow it down to
five possibilities, based upon facts you received in the complaint. The complaint also
alleges that while the female employee was standing at the copy machine, John made a
comment on her.
John is a 56-year old employee who has worked for the Government for 28 years. While
John has not been a stellar employee, his performance has been adequate and he has
received regular pay increases consistent with his longevity. During the last five years,

has asked John to stop calling her. The employee complaint was anonymous, but because
you only have 25 female employees in your area, you have been able to narrow it down to

alleges that while the female employee was standing at the copy machine, John made a
comment on her.
John is a 56-year old employee who has worked for the Government for 28 years. While
John has not been a stellar employee, his performance has been adequate and he has
received regular pay increases consistent with his longevity. During the last five years,
John has applied for two promotions and has been turned down both times. On those two
occasions, he was disappointed that he was not chosen and made negative comments to
his coworkers about affirmative action. However, it did not seem to have a significant
impact on his work.
There have been many rumors over the years that John has an alcohol problem and
personal life stress. However, since he has a very good attendance record and his
performance is adequate, his supervisors decided to respect his privacy and not look into
the rumors. John has only a few friends at work. In his spare time, he is an avid hunter and
competitive pistol shooter. In fact, he has won several national awards in competitions. To
your knowledge, he has never brought a fire arm into the workplace.
Questions:
1. Do you think that every organization should have sexual harassment policy?
Justify rights of woman employee subject to gender-specific violence, or sexual
harassment in the workplace.
2. If you are IR manager what shall you do now?
