I am from Jinhua, Zhejiang. My aunt works in a school cafeteria. A few days ago, three fingers were broken off by a flour mixer while mixing flour.

We don’t know what your aunt does in this canteen and what kind of relationship she has in that place. I can only give a few suggestions:

1. First, keep all the medical and process information related to the injury, medical invoices and archive them; in addition, organize the information proving wages or remuneration.

2. Compile any relevant information that can prove working in the school, such as work card and time card; if not, find a signature from someone who worked with you to prove that you have worked there. In addition, since the boss paid the fee to find the note, there will naturally be witnesses. This mainly proves that there is a de facto labor contract relationship with the canteen contractor (it may be the school, it may be the boss or even someone else, your aunt will naturally have to figure this out). If there is no labor contract, as long as it is proved that it is not a temporary labor dispatch (if it is a labor dispatch, ask the labor dispatch company), you will be required to claim compensation according to the Labor Contract Law, and you will be paid twice the salary from the date when the labor contract was not signed. This is also the prerequisite for you to file a labor dispute and work-related injury appraisal. For specific information, you can consult the relevant government labor consultation department.

3. Apply for work-related injury appraisal. The specific address can be found on the first floor of Boss Building (school in the development zone) or Wucheng District Government (school managed by Wucheng District) or Jindong District Government (school managed by Jindong District). Many telephone numbers and addresses can be found online. Once the work-related injury is assessed, the worker will be assessed as disabled, and compensation will also be given. Regarding work-related injury identification, if the employer disagrees, it can still be done. The government cannot refuse. There is a certain time limit. You should pay attention to it. It is best to have it done within one year from the date of the work-related injury. In addition, if you have any questions about this kind of dispute, you can consult the government labor inspection.

4. Talk to the person in charge of the canteen whether it is private or public. Of course, the final choice is yours. The boss is easy to talk to, gives some face, and sets a good time. After all, the boss is not easy to do. Generally, work-related injuries are caused by your own carelessness or illegal operation, and you also have certain responsibilities. If the government ignores it, go to the media. If not, bring a mobile phone with a camera to record and ask for help on the spot while handling the matter.

5. Please pay attention to recording with your mobile phone or voice recorder wherever you go. If there is a place where you are not doing anything, you can find the person in charge of this place. Pay attention to making backups, this is also evidence.

6. If there is no local management, you can go directly to court and sue based on labor disputes and work-related injuries. Of course, if you can find some other stains, you can also make other reports.

No matter what, as long as it is proved that your aunt was not injured due to drunkenness, self-abuse, self-mutilation, etc., nor was she injured at home, as long as she was injured at the workplace and during working hours or due to work reasons, it is a work-related injury. Work-related injuries are protected by law, regardless of whether a labor contract is signed or not. Just like giving birth to a child, there is a relationship whether you have a marriage certificate or not, and in the end there is still a legal relationship.

I don’t know which school is there that doesn’t care about its employees or related employees? The bloodshed and tears are really hard to watch.
