Former employees control the salary discount during the Manner coffee epidemic! Manner response will be held responsible

Calculate and pay the basic salary per hour; 2. There is no shortage of working hours in April, with a 20% discount on the minimum wage in Shanghai (after paying social insurance and house fund) 2072 yuan. And let employees choose their own plan, and screenshot handwritten signature confirmation.

The publisher said that the salary would be paid on the 10th, and this Wechat screenshot was released by the head of the manner store at 10:00 on the evening of 5.9th, urging everyone to choose the speed point. The consent form for absenteeism in April and the confirmation consent form for the cost of living in April are also attached under the programme.

After the article was published, it caused many former / current Manner employees to complain, and other netizens kept reposting the story, causing the incident to go viral on Weibo. Then the Manner company issued a statement at noon yesterday in response that: current employee Chen uses the small red book account "Xiamu" to publish several false remarks about Manner, distorts the facts, guides the public without any basis, and cooperates with other accounts to maliciously like and forward, which is of a bad nature, seriously damaging the reputation of Manner, and violating the labor contract and confidentiality agreement signed with the company at the time of entering the job. At the same time, it said that the company had reported the case and asked to be investigated for criminal responsibility, and the company had confirmed that it had received a letter from a lawyer asking for civil liability.

According to a statement from Manner, it was found that Zhu, a former employee of Shanghai Aicha Restaurant Service Co., Ltd. (Mstand Coffee), had published several articles that seriously damaged Manner's reputation, such as false remarks, using the "julia" Little Red Book account (which has been cancelled).

Manner said that Zhu's behavior had violated the labor contract and confidentiality agreement signed with Manner during his tenure, and even though he was known to have a competition agreement, he still broke the law to join other coffee brands and received double wages. At the same time, he said it was not clear whether Zhu was directly or indirectly authorized and instructed by Mstand, but had contacted the Hangzhou police to pursue criminal responsibility and would institute legal proceedings.

Manner responded to questions about payroll after saying it would pursue legal action against some former and current employees. Manner said that when most stores were closed during the epidemic, it was the first time in the industry that social insurance and house fund was paid according to the full basic salary (3600-11300 yuan) and paid normally, which was much higher than the (Shanghai) city's minimum wage of 2590 yuan and the Shanghai standard of living of 2072 yuan.

It goes on to say that the working hours required by Manner partners have been reduced by 70 to 50 hours from 167hours, which is equivalent to directly doubling the unit man-hour rate, and said that Manner also subsidized store work by Rmb350 per person per business working day during the April epidemic, the highest in the industry. To this end, Manner said that they are really very active in offering partner treatment, treating their partners as family members, and do not understand the intentions of the three users, such as the above false comments.

At the same time, Zhu (that is, the current employee of Mstand) was mentioned again, and when his company (Mstand) did not pay 13% in 2021, he repeatedly stressed that the company (Mstand) had better treatment. Manner believes that Zhu has different standards and acts unthinkably. By citing this incident, Manner reminded brands in the same industry to keep up, effectively calibrate Manner's salary to partners during the epidemic, and raise the usual monthly salary of store partners to 8000-17900 yuan (plus normal payment of social insurance and house fund) after passing the assessment, and put it into practice to protect the interests of store partners.

So is it reasonable for Manner to pay like this? A lawyer said: according to the interim provisions on wage payment issued by the Ministry of Labor, if the unit stops work or production within a wage payment cycle, the employer shall pay the laborer's wages according to the standards stipulated in the labor contract. If there is more than one wage payment cycle, if the laborer provides normal labor, the labor remuneration paid to the laborer shall not be lower than the local minimum wage; if the laborer does not provide normal labor, it shall be dealt with in accordance with the relevant provisions of the state.

If Manner's statement is true, then the company's salary payment is in line with the relevant regulations. For both Manner and other coffee brands, baristas are paid in full according to the basic salary during the outbreak, but will be made up after the store resumes business according to the working hours required by different positions.

In addition to the option of getting a normal salary now but having to make up for the working hours later, you can also choose not to make up for it later, but there is only a salary of 2072 yuan. In the case that some employees are out of work for a whole month, 2072 yuan will be distributed in accordance with the relevant laws to protect the living expenses of the employees during the epidemic.

With regard to the issue of criminal and civil liability of employees mentioned in the Manner statement, Manner must have believed that the actions of the other party had a certain impact on the brand in Little Red Book. A lawyer said: if employees or former employees deliberately fabricate and spread false facts to damage the company's commercial reputation, they may be suspected of damaging commercial reputation or libel. Or it is precisely because of the above consequences that the parties have deleted the content on the Internet. At present, the law is relatively perfect. If you think that your legitimate rights and interests have been infringed upon, you can protect your rights and interests in accordance with the relevant arbitration. From the former labour relations to an open battle between the two parties reporting their identity card numbers on the Internet, it will be somewhat embarrassing for both sides.
