On the first day of work, I was fired because of "marriage"
Online video shows that on the first day of work, Ms. Wang was suddenly called to the office by the personnel and informed of her dismissal. "After I filled in the information, I learned about the company's related introduction and daily work responsibilities. The personnel suddenly called me to the office and said that I was married. I think I will definitely want children. "
Ms. Wang's chat record with the company
Ms. Wang said that this job is for a customer service position. The usual work arrangement is one month's day shift and one month's night shift. "It was confirmed before New Year's Day. She kept me waiting for nearly a week." Ms. Wang told reporters that she also pushed off the quotations of other companies for this reason.
What puzzled Ms. Wang most was that she had been informed of her married status at the time of recruitment and had been hired at that time. She doesn't understand why she was fired on her first day at work for this reason. "If so, why didn't you inform me before?" In the face of Ms. Wang's doubts, the personnel said that pregnancy may be a problem. "If you are pregnant, the company is in trouble. We hope to recruit a stable one now. " Later, I returned the employment information to Ms. Wang and apologized. At the request of Ms. Wang, I compensated for the lost time and transportation expenses of that day, totaling 100 yuan.
"She soon compensated me, but I was still embarrassed. When I first encountered this situation, I felt that the employment environment for women was particularly unfriendly, because if you are married or have a boyfriend without a boyfriend, others will have a bad feeling for you. " Ms. Wang said.
Netizens hotly debated: When will "workplace discrimination" stop?
On a certain network platform, once the incident was issued, it caused a heated discussion among netizens. "Will you be asked to get married during the interview?" Will you have children? ""What does marriage have to do with the company? If pregnancy or not can be a hindrance to job hunting, then this company is too speechless. "
Some netizens expressed doubts about the recruitment quality of the company. "We had a good chat during the interview. Finally, when we asked if we were married and not pregnant, our attitude changed. If you want to be unmarried, ask at the beginning and don't waste an hour of my time. "
Comments from netizens
In recent years, there have been more and more topics about "women or being discriminated against in the workplace" on the online platform, and various viewpoints have also appeared. In the face of the fact that "the woman was dismissed because she was married" in the incident, some netizens also expressed completely different attitudes.
A netizen commented, "But some people do get pregnant and have children as soon as they join the job." There are more than 30 people in our small company, and we have met two. "Some netizens commented that" during the interview, they all said that they had no pregnancy plan, and many people became pregnant and raised their babies as soon as they joined the work. In the past two years, everyone has seen the benefits of the company, not to mention the small company. People gave the lost time fee so readily, and the lady was exposed, which showed that she was not particularly honest. "

Lawyer's opinion: illegal, you can complain.
Lawyer Qin Ming, director of the Commercial Criminal Department of Beijing Shi Jing Law Firm, told the reporter that employers have the right to recruit workers independently and can recruit suitable employees according to their own business conditions and needs. However, whether in the recruitment process or after establishing labor relations with workers, we should abide by the provisions of the Labor Contract Law and other relevant laws.
In this case, the company dismissed Ms. Wang, who had just joined the company for one day, on the grounds of "being married and possibly pregnant", which obviously violated the law. According to the Labor Contract Law and the Special Provisions on Labor Protection of Female Employees, the employer shall not reduce the salary, dismiss, terminate the labor or employment contract of female employees because of pregnancy, childbirth and breastfeeding. Even if Ms. Wang is really pregnant, the company can't terminate the labor relationship, but it is illegal to dismiss her on the grounds of possible pregnancy now, which is not in line with the legislative spirit of relevant laws. For the company's employment discrimination, you can complain to the Human Resources Department and the Women's Rights Protection Department.
