What's wrong with this lawyer?!

Chapter 2: Chapter 2 Overtime Pay Over 680,000? (Please follow and add to favorites)



Before this, Tang Fangjing had never considered how beautiful life could be.

It was as if Heaven was playing a joke on him, but fortunately, a system had appeared, and what was more, the reward for completing the task was the very lifespan he so desperately needed!

As for legal measures, he had been involved in that field in his previous life, and for the sake of extending his lifespan, he was willing to pay any price...

Looking at Supervisor Liu in front of him, Tang Fangjing really wished he could rush up and kiss him twice. What's called a benefactor? This was a benefactor!

"Supervisor... Supervisor Liu, are you serious?" Tang Fangjing said with an eager face.

"What? Serious or not serious?"

"I mean that thing about suing wherever you like."

"True... it's true."

"That's great, really great!"

Tang Fangjing laughed uproariously, so excited that he could barely contain himself.

Supervisor Liu was completely bewildered, wondering what was going on with this guy. Just a moment ago, he looked like he was on the brink of death and was arguing with him, but now he was acting as if he'd won the lottery.

As for the other employees in the department, they thought Tang had gone mad...

But after laughing a few times, Tang Fangjing promptly stopped and said to Supervisor Liu in front of him:

"Supervisor Liu, about that thing where you guys want to fire me, let's hurry up, proceed with the procedures, please. I'm really in a hurry, a serious hurry!"

Supervisor Liu: "..."

That completion percentage of two hundred might be incomprehensible to others, but as soon as Tang Fangjing saw it, he had a complete plan in mind!

How can the company learn its lesson? Being laid off would result in compensation, but unlawful termination meant double that amount. However, this money was related to the number of years worked.

He had only worked for two years, so even if he was compensated with 2n, it would only amount to so much. This was far from enough to be a lesson for the company.

Based on the system's completion rate, n+1 would probably equate to fifty percent completion, and 2n to one hundred percent.

But 2n was only worth one week of life, hardly worth anything, so he absolutely needed two hundred percent to relieve his own survival pressure!

You have to know, cancer can continuously erode one's lifespan...

And the only way Tang Fangjing could think of achieving such a high completion rate was through overtime pay!

In his previous life, this world was basically no different, and the laws were identical. It's just that many cases from his previous life did not exist in this world...

For instance, the issue of whether communication through messaging apps after work hours counted as overtime and under what circumstances it could be recognized as such—he was all too clear on this.

Why? Because in his previous life, he was the one behind the landmark case that set the precedent!

Communication after hours? That's called overtime, thank you!

Overtime pay is one and a half times the normal rate on weekdays, double on weekends, and triple on holidays!

Time off in lieu is out of the question because no company will admit that's overtime!

After briefly checking the records on WeChat, DingTalk, and others, the company seemed to engage in this kind of "communication" nearly every day, uninterrupted on weekends and holidays!

And what did that mean? It meant he was about to have a blast...

......

On the other hand, Supervisor Liu, while confused, had already reached that level of emotion following the conversation, so whatever had to be done would still need to be done.

Otherwise, if such a person stays, the morale of the team will be lost, and it becomes hard to lead the group.

In the upstairs office, Supervisor Liu and General Manager Wang said to the man behind the boss's chair, "President Hu, that's the situation."

President Hu said casually, "Then just fire him. Let the legal department think of a reason. It's too good, who are they trying to scare? Just follow the procedure."

After a pause, he added, "Young people these days, none of them have the spirit to endure hardship. Every one of them watches too many short videos, thinking they can reform the workplace."

"Alright, you go busy yourselves."

For the owner of Bluebird Company, this was nothing serious. Disobedient employees can be dismissed—someone acting excited and saying "too good" is, in the boss's eyes, just putting on a performance.

Do they think like in the novels, that by going to arbitration, the boss will get scared?

If you talk nicely with the company, they might pity you and give you some extra money. Dream on with this attitude!

The money would rather be donated than be used to increase your salaries. Handing out hard-earned cash to the poor, that's creating bad karma, you know!

Soon it was afternoon, and Tang Fangjing received the notice of termination.

The reasons were numerous: violation of company rules, insulting colleagues, incompetence at work, and so on.

Anyway, if you just look at this document, you might even feel the company has been wronged!

All work group chats were cleared, WeChat, DingTalk, etc. But no matter, half a day was already enough for Tang Fangjing, who was a professional!

Carrying his belongings, he left the company. Although he was shivering from sickness, Tang Fangjing felt a fire burning in his heart!

Once home, he started preparing the application for labor arbitration and evidence—mainly evidence!

Of course, as a seasoned litigator, Tang Fangjing was very aware that there was a high chance of losing in labor arbitration.

It was simple, the world had never seen a similar case, and the labor arbitration committee would not support it, and might not even grant a first hearing.

"Base your case on fact, take the law as your criteria," it's said, but "following the old rules to avoid problems" is less risky than suddenly introducing something new. That's reality...

Some cases need to go to the Supreme Court; that's also reality. It's not about other things, change comes with pressure, in every field.

For two full days, Tang Fangjing did not leave his home, locking himself in his dark, damp little rental room, continually preparing and calculating.

He was not yet a lawyer, which was just as well since the bar exam was about to start this year, and he was planning to register for it.

Luckily, the bar exam in this world was still a one-year program and allowed non-law majors to take part...

On the morning of the third day, Tang Fangjing stepped out of his house, carrying a huge handbag—the result of his hard work over the last two days.

Half an hour later, he stood at the window of the labor arbitration committee.

"Hello comrade, I would like to file for labor arbitration!"

The labor arbitration committee's receptionist, Ma Yao, while busy with her tasks, said, "Identity card, and the application form..."

"I brought everything, comrade. Please hurry, I'm in a rush!"

What rush... Ma Yao looked up, ready to say something, when she saw a huge handbag placed on the counter, and the pale-faced young man opposite unzipped it to reveal a stack of materials so thick it made one dizzy just looking at it.

Involuntarily, Ma Yao swallowed her saliva, "Are these... all of it?"

"All of it. You have a look first. The main claims are for illegal dismissal with double compensation and overtime pay," he explained.

Picking up the application form from the top of the pile, Ma Yao mumbled, "Oh, there's also overtime pay? Let me see, overtime pay sixty-eight thousand three hundred... huh?"

Sixty-eight thousand for overtime pay??
