According to Chinese media such as Sina Finance, a company in Wuhan, Hubei Province, fired an employee, Chen, who repeatedly left work a minute earlier to take the elevator, for violating work regulations.
According to the company's findings, he left the office a minute early to take the elevator six times in three months.
The company called him and informed him that it would terminate the contractual relationship, saying it violated the working regulations.
The company regulations stated that employees who are late more than six times a year or leave work early will be fired.
Chen, who opposed this, filed a lawsuit, calling it unfair dismissal.
He demanded compensation for illegal contract termination and compensation for unused annual leave.
The Wuhan Municipal People's Court stated that "it is unreasonable for the company to interpret leaving work a minute earlier as a violation of the company rules"" and "In common sense, employers should review attendance on a monthly basis when paying wages on a monthly basis.'
Therefore, the court ruled that `Chen's dismissal is insufficient and unreasonable.'
