Dispute over double wages for failure to sign an open-ended labor contract with a trading company in Fujian

Plaintiff Wang joined defendant Fujian [Name] Trading Co., Ltd. on 2019/6/1 as Finance Supervisor. The parties executed three consecutive fixed-term labor contracts, with the final term expiring on 2024/5/31. On 2024/6/1, after the contract expired, Plaintiff became eligible to sign an open-ended labor contract and repeatedly requested Defendant to do so. Defendant refused and continued paying Plaintiff wages based on the original contract terms without executing a written open-ended labor contract. After Plaintiff resigned on 2024/12/31, they filed suit seeking double wage compensation for the period from 2024/6/1 to 2024/12/31 due to the failure to execute an open-ended labor contract, totaling 84000 yuan.

The court ruled that the defendant, a certain trading company in Fujian Province, shall pay the plaintiff, Wang, double wage compensation for the period from 2024/6/1 to 2024/12/31 due to failure to execute an open-ended labor contract within 10 days of the judgment taking effect. The defendant shall bear all litigation costs.
