A taster at a Sam's Club in Nantong, Jiangsu was fired for serious disciplinary violations
A netizen posted that a taster at a Sam's Club in Nantong, Jiangsu was fired for serious disciplinary violations because the employee posted their salary online, which was also the lowest standard in Nantong city. On March 26th, this news hit the hot search list.
The staff of Nantong Sam's Club said that the tasters are generally not Sam's Club employees, and if you want to know the situation, you need to contact the company where the employee works. The reporter found through inquiry that the employee belongs to Guangzhou Dasheng Market Promotion Co., Ltd. A person in charge of the company responded to the reporter that they do have cooperation with Nantong Sam's Club, and most of the brand promotion testers are sent by the company. But the employee Miss Gu's statement does not match the facts. Both parties have signed a confidentiality agreement, and the employee has only been on full attendance for two months, with a monthly salary exceeding 4000 yuan. The salary payment standard meets the regulations.
The Confidentiality Agreement and Employee Handbook signed by the terminated employee clearly stipulate that salary information belongs to the category of confidentiality. The person in charge stated that the employee had been employed by the company for less than 6 months and only worked at full capacity in October and December 2024. Their monthly wages were 4465.68 yuan and 4092.92 yuan respectively (after deducting social security contributions, they were actually paid 3570.62 yuan). The local street has reviewed the salary calculation method and confirmed that it is correct. The person in charge also stated that the company believes that Miss Gu's behavior has affected the reputation of the client company and hopes that Miss Gu can delete the corresponding Weibo account. At the same time, the company has decided to compensate Miss Gu with a monthly salary of more than 2900 yuan. Miss Gu also contacted the Weibo publisher to request the removal of the post, but the other party replied that it was not posted by him and we still need to wait.
Is it illegal to publish one's salary statement online? Legal experts say that the rules and regulations formulated by employers must have legality and require corresponding procedures, such as publicizing and informing employees. In addition, if the confidentiality agreement signed between the company and employees clearly stipulates that salary information is confidential, the employee's disclosure of the salary slip will violate the company's confidentiality regulations. The company can require the employee to bear corresponding responsibilities according to the contract, such as compensating for losses.
If the rules and regulations formulated by the enterprise do not meet these conditions, it may be illegal to dismiss employees based on this.
