KFC: Part-time employment standard is not applicable to part-time employees

Yesterday afternoon, Cui Huanming, manager of Guangdong Marketing Department of Yum! Brands, which belongs to KFC and Pizza Hut, said in an interview that the minimum wage standard for part-time employment in Guangdong is not applicable to part-time employees.

In the Guangdong Marketing Department of Yum! Brands, which belongs to KFC and Pizza Hut, Cui Huanming, the marketing manager of KFC in Guangdong, was interviewed by reporters with four public affairs commissioners. In the interview, Cui said that he was aware of the minimum hourly wage for part-time jobs in Guangdong Province, which came into effect on October 1 this year. At the same time, he insisted that the employment of Yum! Brands complies with the current laws and regulations in China, "We (part-time employees) are neither full-time nor part-time", and the company and its hourly workers are "not within the adjustment scope of the Labor Law of the People's Republic of China", and their salary level is not subject to "part-time employment in Guangdong Province" at all.

Regarding the fact that Pizza Hut and KFC restaurants, which were unannounced visits by reporters and interns, have not yet given reporters labor contracts (agreements), Cui said that this is only a problem of "implementation deviation" and the company's employment process. According to the regulations, the company requires the restaurant to fill in the hourly salary and other parts when entering into an agreement with the workers. After the entry into force, the restaurant and the part-time workers will each hold one copy.

Legal experts question KFC's three explanations

Questioning that it is neither full-time nor part-time employment, what kind of employment is it?

"KFC's statement that it is not full-time employment or part-time employment is ridiculous!" An expert from the Guangdong Provincial Department of Labor and Social Security said in an interview, "This statement is obviously contrary to the' full-time and part-time employment forms' stipulated in the Labor Law." The expert said, "If neither of the two forms of employment belongs, is it a' black worker'?"

At the same time, the expert also said, "If it is a special form of employment as the person in charge of the company said, which law defines this special form of employment?"

query 2 is not governed by the labor law, so which law is governed?

In response to Cui Huanming, marketing manager of KFC Guangdong, who said that "students and other people are not qualified as subjects of labor legal relations, so they are not within the jurisdiction of the Labor Law", Zhu Yongping, a well-known lawyer, made it clear that this statement of the company is untenable. He stressed that any China citizen who has the three conditions of "an adult with the ability to work, and the enterprise has indeed paid for the individual".

query 3 is not restricted by the part-time minimum wage standard in Guangdong province, so who will safeguard the rights and interests of workers?

"The wages of hourly workers in KFC are not restricted by the part-time minimum wage in Guangdong Province!" Cui Huanming, Marketing Manager of KFC Guangdong, said this when talking about why "hourly wages are only given to hourly industrial enterprises in 4 yuan".

In this regard, the person in charge of the relevant departments of the Guangdong Provincial Department of Labor and Social Security clearly stated: "The minimum wage set by the government is definitely manageable." The person in charge said that according to KFC's statement, no matter how much money it gives the timekeeper, how long it takes for the timekeeper to work, KFC has the final say. "Then we want to ask KFC, who can manage KFC?" Thematic Coordination: New Express reporter Wen Jianmin
