Overtime Pay Dispute Case Involving a Manufacturing Company in Xiamen

Case Summary

Plaintiff Chen began employment with Defendant Xiamen Certain Manufacturing Co., Ltd. on 2022/6/1, working as a production line operator. The parties entered into a written labor contract specifying a monthly base salary of 3000 yuan, standard working hours (40 hours per week), and a daily work schedule of 8 hours over 5 days. During the employment period, Defendant frequently required Plaintiff to work overtime on weekdays, weekends, and statutory holidays but failed to pay full overtime compensation as required by law, instead paying only partial overtime at a rate of 20 yuan per hour. After resigning on 2024/5/31, Plaintiff filed for arbitration with the Xiamen Labor and Personnel Dispute Arbitration Commission, requesting that Defendant pay outstanding overtime wages for extended weekday hours, weekends, and statutory holidays from 2022/6/1 to 2024/5/31, totaling 128000 yuan. The Arbitration Commission partially granted Plaintiff's claims. Dissatisfied with the ruling, Plaintiff brought the case to court.

Key Dispute

1.Whether the alleged overtime worked by the plaintiff actually occurred.
2.Has the defendant paid the plaintiff's overtime wages in full?
3.Do the base amount and calculation method for overtime pay claimed by the plaintiff comply with legal requirements?

Case Strategy

1.Fixed-term written labor contracts, pay slips, attendance records, overtime approval records, wage statements, arbitration awards, and other core evidence
2.The plaintiff submits evidence demonstrating that they worked extended hours on weekdays, weekends, and statutory holidays during their employment. Attendance records and overtime approval documents fully substantiate the total duration of overtime worked.
3.According to the Labor Law, overtime work beyond normal working hours must be compensated at no less than 150% of the employee's wage.
4.Employees working on weekends shall be paid overtime compensation of no less than 200% of their wages.
5.Overtime on statutory holidays shall be compensated at no less than 300% of the wage.
6.Calculate the plaintiff's overtime pay based on a monthly base salary of 3000 yuan, resulting in an hourly rate of 17.24 yuan. Calculate overtime for weekday extended hours, weekends, and statutory holidays separately. After deducting amounts already paid by the defendant, the defendant must pay the plaintiff an additional total of 128000 yuan in overtime compensation, which complies with legal requirements.

Processing Result

The court rules that Defendant Xiamen [Name] Manufacturing Co., Ltd. shall pay Plaintiff Chen 2022 yuan in unpaid overtime compensation for the period from 6/1/2024 to 5/31/128000, within ten days of the effective date of this judgment. Defendant shall bear all litigation costs.
