There is a high incidence of job-related crimes among personnel employed by government agencies

The incidence of job-related crimes among government employees is high

In recent years, government agencies and institutions have been constrained by the contradiction between staffing and functional changes, and have hired a large number of temporary workers, which has effectively alleviated workplace incidents. Many people but few people are under pressure. At the same time, the phenomenon of frequent job-related crimes among employed personnel cannot be ignored.

"Legal Daily" reporters recently learned from the People's Procuratorate of Runzhou District, Zhenjiang City, Jiangsu Province, the People's Procuratorate of Funing County, Yancheng City, and the People's Procuratorate of Beitang District, Wuxi City that the three procuratorates have handled a number of recruitment cases in recent years. Occupational crime cases. For example, from 2009 to 2012, the Wuxi City Procuratorate investigated and handled 21 cases of duty-related crimes involving 27 people employed by government agencies; from 2009 to 2013, the Zhenjiang City Runzhou District Procuratorate filed cases to investigate and handle "shuanglin" (referring to temporary agencies, temporary Personnel) 17 cases of duty-related crimes involving 20 persons; from 2012 to the present, the Funing County Procuratorate has investigated and handled 14 cases involving 22 persons engaged in duty-related crimes.

As non-staff personnel, they do not have much power, so how can they collect money? And what causes them to embark on the road of illegal crimes? The reporter learned that due to low recruitment threshold, poor wages and benefits, and promotion The lack of hope, weak legal awareness, inadequate supervision and many other reasons have led to the "temporary workers" to make money crazily.

? Temporary worker? Set an income increase goal for yourself

Zhang Deping was a college student majoring in water conservancy in the 1980s and worked in many state-owned enterprises. Later, the company was restructured and disbanded, and people were laid off. In November 2008, Zhang Deping was hired by Zhenjiang Water Conservancy Investment Co., Ltd., a wholly state-owned enterprise (later integrated and renamed Zhenjiang Cultural Tourism Industry Group Development Co., Ltd.), and became a temporary worker.

In June 2010, the Zhenjiang Jinshan Lake Tourism and Commercial Support Implementation Project began construction. Zhang Deping relied on his excellent skills to serve as the deputy leader of the engineering team and the representative of Party A. The amount of work changed during the construction process. , construction period extension and project payment procedures must be signed and handled through him.

Since riding a motorcycle to work every day is quite hard, Zhang Deping planned to buy a car worth about 100,000 yuan for transportation, and told Ma Mou, the project manager of a Zhenjiang Construction Co., Ltd., the contractor of the project, about his car purchase plan. . The enthusiastic Ma not only recommended car models, but also accompanied Zhang Deping to the 4S store to view the cars.

In the end, Zhang Deping selected a Buick Excelle sedan worth more than 90,000 yuan and paid a deposit of 500 yuan. On the way back, Ma said to Zhang Deping: "Let me help you pay for the car. These tens of thousands of dollars are nothing to the company, and for you personally, one year's salary may not be enough." . ?

Zhang Deping did not expect that Ma would pay so much money for him. He was very surprised and happily accepted it. More than a month later, when the 4S store notified Zhang Deping to pick up the car, Zhang Deping first thought of Ma's promise, and Ma paid for the car by swiping his card as promised. The total price of this Buick Excelle sedan was 92,900 yuan, and Ma paid the 92,400 yuan by swiping his credit card. Zhang Deping only paid 500 yuan when ordering the car.

In early 2011, a project that Zhang Deping was responsible for entered the roof construction stage. The metal roof used in the design was a new material. The contractor, a Zhenjiang Construction Co., Ltd., needed to subcontract the project, and the contractor confirmed the subcontractor on behalf of the builder. The power is in the hands of Zhang Deping. While investigating the metal roofing market conditions with Ma, Zhang Deping discovered that the market price of new metal roofing materials is not very transparent and there is a big price difference. There is still a lot of room for the price to be lower than the tentative bidding price given by the builder.

As a result, Zhang Deping, who had tasted the benefits of cars, was greedy and proposed to his old partner Ma the idea of ????using the price difference of metal roofs to earn benefits. Ma patted his chest and promised: "My income is higher than yours, so don't worry about me. I'll get you some extra money." ?Under the careful control of the two, the metal roofing business of the project was finally approved. As of the incident, Zhang Deping had received 450,000 yuan in benefits from the case.

Between 2011 and 2014, Zhang Deping made money crazily in the four projects he handled, from accepting money and goods sent to his door by his relatives, to actively hinting at asking for money, from shopping for hundreds of yuan With tens of thousands of dollars in cash stuck, his appetite grew bigger and bigger, his behavior became crazier and crazier, and he even set an annual income increase target for himself.

For example, he accepted a 100,000 yuan benefit fee from Wang, the project manager of a construction engineering company in Zhenjiang, to seek benefits for him in aspects such as project quantity accounting and project payment. During the exterior wall decoration project, Zhang Deping vigorously coordinated and mediated the construction conflicts between the supervisor and the construction party, and accepted RMB 50,000 from Dang, the project manager of a decoration engineering company in Zhenjiang, the construction party.

Even when decorating his own house, Zhang Deping spared no effort to take advantage of various "convenient conditions". The floor tiles, boards, pipeline materials and even garden flowers and trees used in the decoration were all sponsored by relevant business units. Among them, Nobel brand floor tiles are worth more than 50,000 yuan.

In March this year, Zhang Deping was taken away by the Runzhou District People’s Procuratorate of Zhenjiang City for investigation before he participated in a speech for the mid-level cadre competition of a water investment company.

The wages of employed personnel are low and their development is restricted

The Beitang District Procuratorate of Wuxi City once conducted a questionnaire survey on 200 personnel employed by government agencies in the city. The results showed that the salary income of employed personnel is generally relatively low. Although most units pay social insurance for their employees in accordance with regulations, the investigation found that 91% of the actual salary income received by employees employed by the institutions is in the range of 1,000 yuan to 2,000 yuan. In addition, there is a big gap between the various benefits enjoyed by hired personnel and those of formal employees, resulting in some hired personnel not seeing themselves as part of the unit.

According to Yang Min, prosecutor of the Prevention Section of the Wuxi Beitang District Procuratorate, the investigation found that the age of the employees was divided into two levels, either college graduates or people born in the 1950s who are about to retire. College graduates account for 86%, and have become the main personnel employed by Wuxi Municipal Government.

However, those born in the 1980s often regard employment positions as a springboard for their careers. The phenomenon of "riding a donkey to find a horse" abounds. However, those born in the 1950s are facing retirement and will leave their positions once they retire. The stability of the employment team Not strong. The phenomenon of temporary employment and replacing one batch with another is quite prominent. ?Yang Min said.

? There are not only differences in wages, benefits, pensions, etc. between those inside and outside the establishment, but some units also set many development restrictions for employees, such as promotions, professional title evaluations, etc. ?Yang Min said that according to the questionnaire, the biggest concern of employees about their jobs is unclear career prospects.

According to the survey, most of the people hired by Wuxi City government agencies sign labor contracts with labor dispatch companies. Therefore, the employees generally lack a sense of belonging to their work units and believe that they belong to a marginalized group in the unit and do not belong to the group. In the unit where I work, I feel that no matter how hard I try, I will never be recognized by the unit leaders and colleagues.

We analyzed the letters of repentance from 10 people involved in the case, and all of them mentioned that they felt that they had different identities from other colleagues in the unit, the nature of their work was almost the same, but their remuneration and benefits were different. The difference is too big, there is no room for development, and I feel psychologically unbalanced, which is why I finally embark on the road of crime. ?Yang Min said.

Recruitment threshold is low and legal awareness is weak

Yang Min believes that job-related crimes are frequently committed by personnel employed by government agencies. The reasons include psychological imbalance and other reasons; objectively speaking, there are not only reasons for the employment system, but also factors such as weak supervision and realistic treatment.

According to Yang Min, judging from the cases that have been issued by the personnel employed by the agency, the personnel involved are generally of low quality and have weak legal awareness. They lack the necessary legal awareness in the process of performing official duties, and are often unable to distinguish right from wrong. , unclear understanding of the consequences of behavior, and do not know what crime is.

Objectively speaking, recruitment requirements are too low and entry controls are not strict, resulting in oversight of employment, which is also an important reason for the frequent occurrence of job-related crimes among employed personnel. Most of the recruitment of personnel employed by government agencies is carried out by intermediaries such as labor dispatch companies entrusted by government agencies. The recruiters also sign labor contracts directly with labor dispatch companies. This results in the lack of a unified recruitment system during the recruitment process. At the same time, intermediaries During the recruitment process, in order to reduce costs, conditions were arbitrarily lowered, hiring procedures were simple, and review was neglected. There were no high requirements or necessary review on the employment experience, performance skills, professional ethics, etc. of the hired personnel, resulting in some employees having low moral quality or even having problems. People with bad records infiltrate the ranks of government employees.

This was recognized by Chen Gang, director of the Funing County Procuratorate’s Occupational Crime Prevention Bureau. ?During the process of handling the case, we also found that a small number of employees entered the work unit through abnormal channels such as finding connections and saying hello, and they were hurried to work without professional training. For example, some law enforcers are not highly educated and do not know what laws they are enforcing. Some are even legally illiterate themselves. ?

?What also cannot be ignored is that many units attach great importance to employment and neglect management, and have relaxed the systematic professional training and warning education for hired personnel, causing them to lack a sense of professional responsibility and have a weak legal awareness. He acted boldly and unscrupulously. ? Chen Gang said.

How to effectively curb job-related crimes by employed personnel? Chen Gang believes that it is necessary to explore an employment model that takes "post management" as the core and recruits personnel according to their positions, and incorporates various positions in government agencies and institutions into the position management system, and reasonably increases the number of employees. Formal staffing, reducing the number of people hired.

Secondly, we must strictly control and improve the overall quality of hired personnel. Raise the entry threshold, standardize recruitment procedures, and select the best based on test scores. Strengthen pre-job training and refuse to sign employment contracts for those who fail the training to ensure high quality standards for the team. It is also necessary to improve the benefits of employees and enhance their sense of belonging. In addition to staffing issues, government agencies and institutions should further increase financial support for employed personnel, increase wages and benefits of employed personnel, pay attention to respect and care for employed personnel, and avoid psychological imbalance.

?Strengthening supervision is also essential, and a standardized power restraint mechanism should be established. Regular job rotations, random checks and reviews of work content, etc. will be adopted to strengthen job constraints. Those who are found will be investigated and punished together to reduce the space for power rent-seeking and prevent a vacuum in power supervision. ? Chen Gang said. ;
