Our newspaper reports (reporter Zhang Li, correspondent Guo Fuying): After failing to get leave from his superior, the worker sulked and was absent from work for 23 consecutive days, resulting in the company terminating his labor contract. Dissatisfied, the worker took the matter to court. Recently, the Rongchang County Court ruled against the employee.
Yuan started working as an underground coal miner in February 2004. During July and August of 2008, Yuan requested sick leave from his team leader Feng, who said he could only approve two days off. Believing this insufficient, Yuan got into a verbal altercation with Feng and stopped coming to work. In September 2008, Yuan received a notice of termination of his labor contract. Believing the notification to be factually incorrect, Yuan filed a lawsuit demanding over 18,000 yuan in compensation from the company.
The court's review found that the company had the legal right to establish rules and regulations for managing its employees, and that employees were obligated to abide by them. Consequently, the court dismissed Yuan's litigation request.
