Father died, went home to attend the funeral, and was fired. Is this reason reasonable?

I don't think it is reasonable. The company's rules and regulations lack certain morality and inclusiveness.

This happened on June 6, 2020, a property company in Shanghai. Lu Yun asked for leave from the company because his father was ill and wanted to go home to visit. But the boss refused. Lu Yunsheng's father died on his way back to the company. So he hurried home, took care of his father's affairs and returned to work. But after returning to the company, he was forced to resign.

The reason is that Lu Yunsheng has been on leave for more than three consecutive days, leaving his post and returning to his hometown without authorization. However, the company stipulates that if you are absent from work for three days or more, you will terminate the labor contract ahead of schedule without paying the corresponding economic compensation.

However, after arbitration by the court, the company was required to pay compensation for the illegal termination of the labor contract. Although the company refused to accept it, it resumed the original judgment after the second trial and needed to pay the corresponding compensation. It can be seen that there are some problems in the company rules and regulations under the law.

For the sake of humanistic morality, the company needs to have certain empathy when employees' immediate family members hold funerals. Instead of mechanically applying the company's rules and regulations and strongly dismissing employees. In addition, Lu Yunsheng submitted an application before taking time off, but the company failed to approve it in time, which led to absenteeism.

When employees need to go home to deal with accidents at home, the company should give them some tolerance and sympathy. If employees are treated harshly only according to the company's rules and regulations, then society is so indifferent and everyone is like a machine. Then the company will not develop for a long time.

Therefore, the rules and regulations of the company's employee handbook must be reasonable and legal. Although Lu Yunsheng's personal leave turned into funeral leave on the way back after being rejected for the first time, he didn't apply to the company for leave again in time.

Although there is some thoughtlessness here, when employees return to the company, the boss should ask and investigate, not forcefully dismiss the employees. I think this is very unreasonable.

Everyone has relatives. When their relatives are in physical condition, they need to accompany themselves, but they are rejected by the leaders. I think this means of exploitation is cruel.

Even employees strive for benefits and get paid for the company. But there is an equal labor contract relationship between employees and enterprises. Everyone has the right to take a vacation, even if it is because of personal accidents of relatives, resulting in bereavement. The company should give some support and tolerance, and don't be so unkind.
