As a radio and television network employee, the salary is too low and I can’t live. I want to leave, but the company won’t let me go. What should I do?

It is recommended to negotiate first. If negotiation fails, you can collect evidence, complain to the labor inspection department, or apply for labor arbitration. Labor arbitration refers to the central adjudication and ruling of labor disputes applied for arbitration by the labor dispute arbitration committee. In our country, labor arbitration is a necessary procedure for parties involved in labor disputes to file lawsuits in the People's Court.

According to the provisions of the Labor Dispute Mediation and Arbitration Law, the party initiating labor arbitration shall submit a written application to the Labor Dispute Arbitration Committee within one year from the date of the occurrence of the labor dispute.

Unless the parties have force majeure or other legitimate reasons, the arbitration committee will not accept the application if the time limit for applying for arbitration exceeds the legal limit.
