According to news on January 6, recently, a report that a company in Changchun, Jilin used consumer vouchers to offset wages has attracted attention.The latest news shows that the person in charge of the company has been interviewed, and the relevant departments said that if confirmed, they will order the company to correct the illegal behavior as soon as possible.According to media reports, recently, a company in Changchun, Jilin Province used consumer vouchers to replace wages. The exposed video shows that the face value of the consumer coupons ranges from 10 to 100 yuan, and they are limited to consumption in company-related shopping malls, paying property fees, purchasing designated housing and parking spaces, etc.
Netizens said, "This is the salary offered by Ferris City, not cash RMB but consumer coupons."
Some lawyers said that according to the provisions of my country’s labor law,Wages can only be paid to workers in the form of currency. If workers are paid in other ways, they are suspected of deducting or arrears wages. The company uses consumer vouchers instead of wages, which is a violation of my country's labor laws.
For the above-mentioned illegal acts, workers can report to the local labor inspection department, which can require the employer to pay labor remuneration and economic compensation within a time limit, and can order the employer to pay a certain amount of compensation.
