The dismissal was also nullified, and he was reinstated.
According to Chinese media, including Sichuan News, Zhang, an employee of a chemical company in Taixing, Jiangsu Province, was recently fired for violating company regulations after lying on his desk and taking a nap for about an hour.
At that time, the nap was filmed on CCTV installed in the company.
Shortly after, the company's personnel team took issue with this and issued an official dismissal notice for violating company regulations.
In response, Jang filed a lawsuit, saying it was unfair.
He was frustrated that he had been driving until midnight the previous day due to work, so he opened his eyes for a while because he was tired.
The court said "Sleeping while on duty was wrong, but it was the first time and did not cause serious harm to the companyConsidering that Jang has shown outstanding work performance while working for the company over the past 20 years, it is excessive and unreasonable to fire him for a single violation of the company rules.
At the same time, the court decided that the company should compensate Jang 350,000 yuan (about 68 million won) and invalidate the dismissal.
Netizens posted comments such as "The company is too harsh,"You won't want to go to work anymore even if you return to work,"The court's correct judgment"
