Is it overtime for the boss to send messages after work in the afternoon?

The lawyer said: replying to work news after work can be regarded as overtime.

Lawyer Xu said that employees have their own rest time after work. If the boss asks them to work overtime at this time, employees have the right not to report to the boss, but if they work overtime in special industries, they can ask the unit to pay overtime wages. If an employee is dismissed because he fails to reply to the information in time after work, it is illegal to terminate the labor relationship, and the employee can apply for labor arbitration according to law.

Objectively speaking, according to the provisions of the labor law, it is really inappropriate and inappropriate.

Netizens cherish the moment:

This kind of leadership is actually very similar to the leadership we learned in Chinese textbooks before. This man got up in the middle of the night to learn how to crow and let long-term workers work in order to do more work.

So in reality, such things are not uncommon. Since the advent of WeChat, the freedom of life of this group and that group of workers after work has been seriously shortened. Some executives or business leaders may have certain mental problems and like to arrange their work after work through WeChat. In fact, they know that you will resent such behavior, but they are also very embarrassed about your behavior, because they know that we dare to speak for our work and don't want to lose our job because of this.

From a legal point of view, such behavior is definitely inappropriate. According to the provisions of Articles 3 and 43 of the Labor Law, workers have the right to rest and vacation, and the employer shall not extend the working hours of workers in violation of the provisions of the Labor Law. Therefore, employers should respect employees' right to rest and should not arbitrarily occupy employees' rest time. Therefore, the employer and its leaders have no right to ask employees to reply in time after work.

In addition, according to the provisions of Article 44 of the Labor Law, if workers are arranged to work longer hours, they shall be paid no less than 150% of their wages. According to this regulation, employers require employees to reply to information work outside working hours, which can be regarded as overtime.

Finally, these behaviors of the company, as workers, should learn to keep evidence, so that if the employer dismisses illegally in the future, it can legally protect rights.

As a boss, you should be self-aware, whether you can't take up employees' off-duty time or try not to.
