The Shanghai Pudong District People’s Court recently issued a report on 10 typical labour dispute cases decided in 2017. Those cases cover employment contract disputes, non-compete provisions, work injury entitlements, etc.
In one case, the court ruled that an employment contract was invalid because the employee provided false statements about prior work experience during the hiring process.
The employee joined the company in November 2014. On the company’s employment application and on the employee’s CV, the employee listed prior work experience with two companies supposedly operating in the same industry as the hiring company. However, when the hiring company later researched the two companies, it found no government registration information for them, and therefore realized the companies did not exist.
