The Spring Festival is approaching, and Foshan Nanhai Court is stepping up its efforts to enforce cases involving people’s livelihood. The reporter learned that in the enforcement case of Xiqiao Court, a chemical fiber company in Foshan City began to have debt disputes at the end of 2017 due to poor management, and successively defaulted on the wages of 209 workers. Recently, through the court’s effective enforcement, the workers received nearly 4 million yuan salary.
Nearly 4 million yuan in wages were paid in time
A chemical fiber company in Foshan City was once the leader of the textile industry in Xiqiao Town. Due to poor management, the company began to have debt disputes at the end of 2017 and successively defaulted on the wages of 209 workers. Since then, the company’s assets have been seized by many courts and involved huge mortgages. After the efforts of all parties, the company was finally auctioned on January 8, and the balance was paid on January 16.
Considering that the New Year is approaching, more than 200 workers are waiting to get money to go home for the New Year, and the debts involved in the execution are huge. It will take a long time to execute by making a distribution plan and then paying workers’ wages. .
In order to seek a more efficient solution, the Xiqiao Tribunal actively communicated with the Executive Bureau on the one hand. Under the direct coordination and persuasion of the Executive Bureau, the main creditors agreed to refund workers’ wages first; on the other hand, before paying wages, The government will coordinate with relevant departments to solve workers’ food and housing problems and pay attention to workers’ dynamics.
Because the arrears of wages lasted for a long time and involved many workers, the person in charge of the Xiqiao Court continued to urge the human resources and social security department to verify the actual number of people and the amount of wages arrears, and to file cases in a timely manner for cases that had not yet been filed.
In the end, with the joint efforts of all parties, the 3,994,114 yuan in wages owed by the chemical fiber company were paid in time, solving the workers’ problem.
Although it has become less common to default on wages to employees, bosses still commit crimes every year. Looking back before the Spring Festival in 2019:
The head of Xu Village Textile Company ran away and was owed 430,000 yuan in salary
Lu Xiaotao in Xinyi Village, Haining I have been working in a textile company in the industrial park for more than 4 years, engaged in hot stamping work. All along, the company’s salary payments have been considered normal. But since the second half of 2018, he has never received a salary. Including his mother, uncle, aunt, and brother, there are five people in their family who have not received their wages.
Not long ago, the person in charge of the company “ran away”. After registration and verification by the staff of the Xucun Town Labor Inspection Squadron, the total amount of the company’s wage arrears reached more than 430,000 yuan, involving 26 company employees.
In January, Lu Xiaotao had no choice but to seek help from the staff of the Xucun Town Labor Inspection Squadron. The Xucun Town Government attached great importance to it and promptly initiated the company’s wage arrears disposal procedures. The staff tried every means and finally contacted the company operators through various social channels. Shen’s relatives asked him to cooperate and help deal with the unpaid wages and at the same time raise funds. During this period, the Municipal Labor Inspection Brigade also came to Xucun Town to guide and confirm the wage roster and issued rectification instructions to the enterprise. On the afternoon of January 11, with the help of the Xucun Town Government, Lu Xiaotao successfully got back his salary of 76,500 yuan.
In fact, it is relatively common for bosses to fail to pay back wages. Textile worker Lu Xiaotao is one of the majority of “victims”, but he does not Instead of taking extreme measures to deal with the matter, we sought help from the town government and finally got our wages back in just one week. This corporate wage arrears incident was successfully resolved.

The Spring Festival is approaching, and it is not uncommon for bosses to take money and run away. But not all textile people are as sensible as Lu Xiaotao mentioned above. At this point, the editor suddenly remembered the fire incident in a Chaonan underwear factory in 2012. The cause was precisely because the boss owed employees wages.
Because the boss defaulted on wages, the employees became angry and burned down the factory, resulting in a lose-lose outcome for both parties. For the employees who were originally responsible, not only did they not get the money they deserved, but they also violated the law. It is really not worth the loss!
So, how should textile workers respond when their boss fails to pay back wages? The editor gives you some tips!
1. Collect useful evidence
The editor reminds workers to keep evidence, especially evidence that proves the existence of a de facto labor relationship between themselves and the unit: recruitment brochures, records and labor contracts; employee rosters and attendance records ; Employment certificate, work permit (card), entry and exit pass, meal ticket, overtime record, deposit receipt, salary IOU, testimony of colleagues, etc. It is best to determine the amount of back wages in writing rather than relying on verbal agreements.
2. Protect things in the factory
After learning that the boss has escaped, you should protect the equipment and other related production materials in the factory as soon as possible and wait for the government department to seize them. Don’t let them be secretly transported; if the boss If you really can’t come back, the proceeds from the auction of these equipment will be used to pay the arrears of wages.
3. Complain or arbitrate to the Labor Supervision Brigade
If you encounter wage arrears, you should complain to the labor supervision department as soon as possible or prepare evidence to apply for labor arbitration at the Labor Dispute Arbitration Committee. If you are unclear, you can complain directly to the local street office or village committee. At the end of each year, labor dispute arbitrationThere will be a green channel for repaying debts. What needs special attention here is that relevant evidence must be prepared for complaints or arbitrations.
4. After discovering that your boss has run away, you must keep a clear head and don’t be carried away by anger.
The editor reminds everyone not to do anything illegal or to go to your boss privately to ask for your salary. You must know how to use social resources, such as the labor department, and know how to use legal weapons to protect yourself. If you do something illegal or illegal, not only will your salary not be returned, but it will also cause trouble for you to find a job in the future.
Huang He is gone and will never come back. The boss ran away and it is difficult to repay the debt. I didn’t see you at work yesterday. I hope you can come to the factory today but it’s all gone…
I hope all bosses can be considerate of their workers. No one should owe workers their hard-earned money. At the same time, we also want to remind the textile people that they should not act impulsively when encountering a situation where the boss owes wages. You must follow legal procedures to ask for wages, and you must know how to use legal means to protect your rights! </p
