Is there a minimum wage for summer jobs? You need to know these things when you work during the holiday.

  "I want to work in Guangzhou during the summer vacation, and my salary is probably 15 yuan/hour, but the online minimum wage in Guangdong is 20.3 yuan/hour." Recently, Xiaofei (a pseudonym), a college student studying in Guangzhou, is worried about finding a suitable summer job. He found that at present, the wages of summer jobs in many units on the market are lower than the minimum wage. Not only that, but some labor agency companies also instigate students to fabricate work experience when applying for jobs, pretending to be long-term jobs, and there is no uniform standard for agency fees, which varies widely.

  When the summer vacation comes, many students at school want to use the holiday to do odd jobs, on the one hand, to accumulate work experience, on the other hand, to earn some living expenses. However, how to sign the contract for the students who are still in the ivory tower? Sign with who? What is the minimum wage? Is the labor agency reliable? ….. A series of questions made them feel at a loss.

  In the past few days, the reporter visited a number of employers and labor agencies and found that there are indeed hidden traps. Summer jobs, students should not act blindly. It’s not too late to go to work after reading the reporter’s combing and the lawyer’s advice.

  Is the summer job salary lower than the minimum wage?

  Xiaofei, a native of Guangxi, is currently studying in a university in Guangzhou. This summer, he wants to use his holiday to do some temporary work and subsidize his living expenses. After inquiring about a number of units, Xiaofei found that the wage gap of summer workers is very wide. "Generally, every hour in 15 yuan, the better one can reach 18 yuan, and the lowest one is only 10 yuan." He said.

  In order to get more recruitment information, Xiaofei began to search online. During this period, he found that the minimum wage in Guangdong was 20.3 yuan/hour. "According to this standard, the summer job I know is basically lower than this." Xiaofei said.

  On July 18th and 19th, the reporter visited several convenience stores and stores in Tianhe District and Yuexiu District of Guangzhou, Shiqiao and Dashi in Panyu District, and Dashadi in Huangpu District, asking about the recruitment situation in summer.

  The reporter found that the wages of most convenience stores are 20.3 yuan/hour, just in line with the minimum wage. Xiaoyan (a pseudonym), a junior who works part-time in a shopping mall on Sports West Road, said: "We are in 24 yuan, but we have to do it for 12 hours a week." However, the above employers basically do not recruit short-term summer jobs, but only long-term jobs. "It takes almost one month to get familiar with all the work in the store. Generally, if you can’t do it for a long time, the store will not recruit." Xiaoyan.

  The staff in charge of recruitment in a factory in Dashi, Panyu District told the reporter: "Factory training requires costs, and summer jobs leave for a while, which is not worthwhile for us."

  In some stores and factories in Panyu District and Huangpu District, the reporter found that some employers are willing to recruit summer workers, and the wages offered are basically around 15 yuan/hour.

  According to the Notice on Adjusting the Minimum Wage Standard for Enterprise Employees in Guangdong Province issued by the Guangdong Provincial Government, from July 1, 2018, the minimum wage standard in Guangzhou was adjusted to 2,100 yuan/month, and the corresponding hourly minimum wage standard for part-time employees was 20.3 yuan/hour.

  For the case that the salary of summer workers is less than 20.3 yuan/hour, the reporter called the Guangzhou citizen service hotline, and the staff responded that,20.3 yuan/hour is applicable to part-time employees, which refers to employees who have signed contracts. Generally speaking, they work no more than 4 hours a day and 24 hours a week.

  "Summer workers can compare these requirements to see if they belong to this range. If the summer worker and the employer sign a labor contract, they can refer to this standard, otherwise they cannot follow this standard. " The staff said.

  Is the intermediary a trick or a cheat people?

  During the interview, the reporter found that since most employers like to recruit long-term workers, many employment agencies have come up with "countermeasures" and will teach college students who want to find summer jobs "tips".

  When Xiao Fei was looking for a job, he asked several intermediary companies. After learning that Xiao Fei could only work in summer, these companies told Xiao Fei not to tell the employer that he could only work in summer. "The intermediary elder sister told me that she couldn’t say that she only worked for more than a month, and asked me to conceal my student status and lied that I had experience." Xiaofei said.

  What Xiaofei said, the reporter also encountered many times during the visit.

  In order to apply for a summer job, the reporter contacted an intermediary agency named Guangzhou Xiangcai Labor Dispatch Co., Ltd., and a manager of the company, wang xing, received the reporter. She recommended to the reporter the job of quality inspector in an audio factory in Dashi Street, Panyu District, saying that her salary is 13 yuan/hour, and she works about 11 hours a day and 26 days a month, with a total salary of about 3,800 yuan/month.

  At the same time, Ms. Wang, the intermediary, repeatedly told reporters that she could not say that she was a summer job when interviewing. When the reporter asked if he could get a salary if he went in as a long-term worker, but he had to resign early, Ms. Wang replied: "You can resign after one month. The key is to be able to go in." As for whether a labor contract will be signed, Ms. Wang will definitely sign it in response, but she does not know the details of the contract.

  "If the time limit written in the contract is not fulfilled, the salary will not be guaranteed." The relevant person in charge of an enterprise in Huijiang Deep Blue Industrial Park told the reporter that pretending to be a long-term worker would only "lose more than gain".

  In addition, the reporter also found that the audio factory introduced by Ms. Wang, the intermediary, is also conducting direct recruitment. The reporter learned in the factory that the salary equivalent to the above position is about 4,100 yuan/month, which is about 300 yuan higher than the price offered by the intermediary.

  "Be sure to find it yourself. I just came out to work and also found an intermediary. Every month, my salary is sent to me by the intermediary. I asked my colleagues to find out that the intermediary deducted a lot of my salary, "Xiao Li, who works in a processing factory in Panyu, told reporters." And the intermediary market is very chaotic, and the intermediary fees vary greatly, from 50 yuan to 200 yuan. "

  Lawyer’s suggestion: signing an effective labor contract is an important basis for safeguarding rights.

  The reporter consulted a number of lawyers on issues related to part-time jobs for summer students. Zou Jiawang, a lawyer from Guangdong Chanbang Law Firm, suggested that students should pay attention to distinguish between labor relations and labour relation when looking for summer jobs. Labor relations refer to the long-term, fixed, managed and managed relationship between workers and employers, and labor relations are bound by the minimum wage standard. Short-term summer jobs often belong to labour relation. Enterprises may not sign labor contracts with workers, and the wages are determined by the employer and the workers through consultation.

  Lawyer Zou Jiawang reminded that,Summer workers should sign effective labor contracts with employers, which is an important basis for safeguarding rights.If a valid contract is signed and the salary is still below the minimum standard, you can report it to the labor inspection brigade of the Municipal Bureau of Human Resources and Social Security, or file a labor arbitration to ask the enterprise to make up the salary.

  Lawyer Zhao Shaohua of Beijing Deheheng (Guangzhou) Law Firm said,Summer workers who have not signed a contract but provided labor services can negotiate with the employer to determine the remuneration, which is not less than 80% of the salary standard of the same post in the probation period in principle.Although the wages of summer workers are not subject to the minimum wage standard, if the employer deducts or defaults on the wages of summer workers, summer workers can go to the Human Resources and Social Security Bureau for complaints and accusations, and can directly sue the court for rights protection.
