International Labor dispute cases: How to deal with labor contract disputes in multinational companies?
By : Kobre & Kim LLP
Case Overview:
Mr. Li, who had worked for a multinational company for many years, suddenly received a notice from the company asking him to resign without prior notice and refusing to pay the corresponding termination compensation. Li decided to seek the help of a lawyer and fight for his labor rights through legal channels.
Legal Response:
Contract Analysis and evidence collection: Mr. Li provided the employment contract and termination notice to the law firm. The law firm confirmed that the company had indeed failed to give advance notice of dismissal as stipulated in the contract and refused to pay compensation.
Transnational Litigation and Labor Arbitration: The law firm filed a lawsuit against the company for breach of labor contract through international arbitration and transnational litigation, demanding payment of compensation and compensation for Mr. Li's losses caused by unemployment.
International legal Collaboration and Mediation: The law firm mediated with the company through the International Labor Law Organization and finally reached a settlement agreement in which the company agreed to pay Mr. Li compensation.
Key Points in the Case:
1. When signing a labor contract with a multinational company, the contract terms should be reviewed in detail to ensure that there are clear provisions on matters such as dismissal and compensation.
2. In case of unfair dismissal or pay problems, workers should consult lawyers and prepare relevant evidence in a timely manner to seek compensation through labor arbitration or transnational litigation.
3. Since labor laws vary from country to country, employees of multinational companies should be aware of the labor laws and international labor standards of the host country to protect their rights and interests.
