[knowledge] early resignation to pay the working clothes depreciation

Gao Zihang had been working in a chemical factory for about a year. He recently decided to resign but was asked by the factory to “buy” the clothes he was wearing during his work.

Gao Zihang stated that he had signed a two-year contract with the company. Now that the contract has not yet expired, he will have to resign. So the company is very unhappy with him. Gao Zihang feels that his breach of contract is willing to take corresponding responsibility in the first place, but this does not mean that he must “buy” through the work clothes. He told reporters that because of the chemical involved in the job, the factory gave protective products such as protective clothing and mask gloves to each employee. Now that he resigned early, the company said that he passed through the clothes, and wasted. Naturally, he had to bear the cost of depreciation. Does he want to know what the company is doing?

The lawyer said: Tian Yun Law Firm's lawyer Jia Changliang said that Article 54 of the Labor Law stipulates: “The employer must provide laborers with labor safety and hygiene conditions and necessary labor protection supplies that are in compliance with state regulations, and have occupational hazards Workers in the operation should carry out regular health checks.” Because of the need for work and the protection of workers, enterprises like chemical plants must provide enterprises with protective equipment and supplies for enterprises, and they must also fulfill their statutory obligations. Protective equipment is distributed to employees in order to protect employees from harm during work and prevent occupational hazards. Therefore, protective equipment and protective clothing are all provided to Gaozihang unconditionally by the factory, and are not prepared to meet his personal needs. The costs should not be attributable to factory losses, and there is no reason for the factory to request a high depreciation fee.
