Can’t you sign an employment contract without a graduation certificate?
Thread Content
I am a college student and won’t receive my diploma until July this year. As of April now, we have been working at the company for three months. Logically, it should now be possible to sign an employment contract with the company. But the company said that since we are students, we aren’t considered real university graduates, and that they can only sign a contract with us once we obtain our graduation certificates – and this delay will last until July of this year (a full seven months)! In other words, one becomes a full-time employee right after obtaining the graduation certificate. Since labor law does not provide clear provisions for special situations like ours, is it reasonable for the company to act in this way?
Unreasonable! The parties to a labor contract are workers, not graduates! Are those without a diploma still alive?
1. Before graduation, indeed no contract is signed. 2. But while still at school, there is a tripartite agreement in place, which serves to protect college students. You can ask your advisor for it; specifically, you first sign the tripartite agreement with the company, then obtain that company’s registration number and go to your school’s employment office to apply for it to be registered there and stamped. With this agreement, you then return to the company, where it will also be stamped. After that, you take these three agreements back to the school. On the day of your graduation, the employment office will use these agreements to send your records to the human resources department of the company where you signed the agreement for storage. If it’s a small company, then the records will be stored by an employment agency appointed by the company. 3....1....The four types of benefits related to the probationary period must be paid after the probationary period ends....2....After graduation, you become a full-time employee; there is no need for another probationary period....3....There is no such thing as one contract for the probationary period and another contract for the regular employment status. ...The contract must specify a definite period, which shall not exceed 3 months. 1 month is equivalent to 1 year. If any of these three points are violated, you can file a complaint with the Labor Protection Bureau
The answer on the 3rd floor is very detailed; one should sign an employment agreement! Employment agreements protect not only students but also companies! Both parties must comply.
Many of the employees in our company are postgraduate students who haven’t yet graduated, but they still have contracts signed. It’s probably related to the mindset of the company’s management
It seems that it’s possible to avoid signing a formal contract. :o
