On May 27, 2016, W&B convened another session of the China Law Salon lecture series on the 17^th floor of the Wen Xin United Press Tower entitled “Employee Disciplinary Offences and Dereliction of Duty -- Solutions and Settlement of Related Disputes”. 40 enthusiastic representatives from various major companies attended the session. The purpose of the session was to discuss ways of standardizing corporate recruitment to facilitate sound corporate development and to improve the interpretation of labor policies and the coordination of employee relations at the managerial level.

The lecturer for this session was Mr. Li Huaping, Partner at W&B Law Offices. The lecture was divided into four sections: common types of employee disciplinary offences, common types of employee dereliction of duty, solutions to employee misconduct and settlement of labor disputes. During the session Mr. Li summarized his experience in case management over the years. He introduced several common types of employee disciplinary offences and derelictions of duty such as breach of trust, absenteeism, forgetfulness at work, improper performance of duties and failure to perform one’s duties. He also cited labor laws and related legal provisions to instruct his audience on appropriate solutions to such misconduct, including evidence collection and dismissal procedures. At the end of the lecture, Mr. Li shared a humorous tongue twister on the means of settling disputes related to disciplinary offences and dereliction of duty.

This session of the China Law Salon was a targeted and pragmatic introduction designed to facilitate the appropriate interpretation of labor statutes and regulations by relevant staff and to secure the sound protection of a legal, harmonious and orderly working environment.
