After applying for labor arbitration, the company sued me for leaking secrets and stealing the company's customer resources, which caused huge economic losses to the company. Now it wants me to pay tens of thousands of dollars. Why?
First, according to the principle that whoever advocates gives evidence, they accuse you of stealing the company's business secrets and customer resources, and at the same time, they have lost many customers, causing huge economic losses, and the internal employees have also been affected by this incident, which has caused irreparable impact, so they demand that I compensate 40,000 yuan. This matter needs to be proved by the company. If no evidence is produced, the company will lose the case. The evidence that the company needs to submit includes: the evidence that you logged into the company account without authorization, the evidence that many customers were lost, and the evidence that the economic loss was 40,000 yuan (how to calculate? ), as well as evidence that internal employees are affected by this. At the same time, you can also produce evidence to refute it. What you need to prove is that you didn't steal trade secrets and customer resources, because logging in an account and stealing trade secrets are two different things, and you didn't reveal company secrets, so there is no causal relationship between logging in an account and company losses. What needs to be explained specifically is that the login is chat software, not any trade secrets.
Second, there is no necessary connection between labor arbitration and the company suing you. They are two different cases, which are tried by the court and the labor arbitration commission respectively. The company demanded compensation of 40,000 yuan, but the Labor Arbitration Commission refused to hear it, because their duty was only to hear labor cases, not civil cases. The company really wants to sue you, unless it goes to court, it will consume a lot of energy and time. Therefore, this is unlikely. He just wants to use your company account as a reason to refute you in labor arbitration. You don't have to be afraid of this. As long as he doesn't go to court to file a case, even if it does cause losses, the labor arbitration commission has no right to make a ruling on this matter, because he only decides labor disputes.
Third, it is very important not to sign the resignation certificate. If you sign it, it means that you leave your job voluntarily and will lose financial compensation. If you don't sign or write a resignation application, the company will fire you. If there is no suitable reason to dismiss you, then he will pay you financial compensation.
