Why Do Employees Refuse To Turn Right?

Know nothing about. Asked about the new labor contract law, which will be implemented in 2008, Ding Yuyang acted as if he were listening to the heavenly books. He is a quasi real estate broker. He has worked in a large scale real estate agency in Beijing for more than half a year. Nevertheless, he still did not get a formal employment contract, so far he is still on probation period.

He does not have the "license" of real estate brokers, and the majority of the real estate agents in Beijing hold "identity" similar to those of Ding Yuyang. Most of them are not even as lucky as Ding Yuyang, who can't make outstanding achievements in six months, and many of them are "trying" in many enterprises. Although the new labor contract law has caused a great stir in the field of enterprise employment, the field of real estate brokerage is still a "paradise".

"Xanadu"

"We are studying some new employment regulations in the new labor contract law, and we will adjust our employment system in accordance with the requirements of the new regulations, which will not only ensure the interests of employees, but also ensure the development of enterprises." I love my deputy general manager Hu Jinghui told reporters that in the real estate agency in Beijing, I love my family in all respects are relatively "regulated" business.

However, in the Beijing market with nearly a thousand real estate intermediary enterprises, there are not many enterprises that can "follow the rules". Although the implementation of the new labor contract law is imminent, Ding Yuyang's intermediary business has not made any form of explanation to all employees on this issue. In the eyes of Ding Yuyang and most of his colleagues, his boss does not seem to have signed the labor contract with himself.

Ding Yuyang's current contract, signed in June 2007, is a probationary employment contract. Although he has been in the past half a year, he still can not see the "Hope" of the correction. According to the trial contract, he can receive more than 600 yuan probation salary per month, and there will be no other income.

In his previous work career, Ding Yuyang enjoyed similar treatment in other intermediary enterprises, and even some companies still had difficulty in achieving this amount. Because of this, he faced a very calm state of mind in the face of the fact that he had not been able to turn around for six months. Although he did not know from reporters until November 2007, such employment system was not what he perceived as "normal" according to the new labor contract law.

Although the new labor contract law stipulates the probation period, it is very difficult to implement it in the real estate brokerage industry, because the market is too complicated. An authoritative person in the industry told reporters.

He said that under normal circumstances, when the real estate intermediary enterprises recruit new people, they often set up probationary periods ranging from 1 months to ~3 months, and take the transaction index as the assessment standard. As a "correction" condition, they usually pay a very low basic salary in the probation period, not more than 800 yuan / month. When the company set the index, they can "turn right", and those who can not "turn right" will generally extend the "treatment" to extend the probation period. During this period, they generally only engage in the "leasing" business with low added value.

"Now, according to the new law, this is illegal, but intermediary enterprises have their own way of circumvention, because unlike other enterprises, there are many" stores "of intermediary companies. Moreover, there are many stores in which many companies have legal person qualifications. Therefore, those who are not positive will be tried by the" transfer shop ", and during the probation period, their labor will only be for" reaching the standard ". Under normal circumstances, there is no royalty in the transaction amount, and only the probationary period salary. He said.

Business is hard to say

Although the employment system for the industry, the staff side "bitter water", but for intermediary companies, it seems to have its own "difficult to hide": "China's real estate broker market is too chaotic, the mobility of personnel is huge, and the randomness is very strong, both sides lack the necessary constraints." Hu Jinghui said frankly.

In view of the current market situation in Beijing, the real "license", namely, the "real estate broker" qualification certificate organized by the Beijing Municipal Construction Commission, is less than 20% of all practitioners. Therefore, the brokers who really get the "license" are very sought after, so the situation of these "brokers" frequent job hopping is very common in the industry.

"The competition in this industry is actually a competitive broker, which is short of mature brokers, after all, the total amount is very small." Aforementioned authority said, according to his understanding, the general intermediary enterprises are willing to sign a long-term contract with such a broker. However, it is embarrassing that the broker himself is not willing to do what he has done, and in order to exchange short-term contracts, he also voluntarily gives up some of his rights and interests to Party A in exchange for a relatively restricted and free space.
Hu Jinghui said that under normal circumstances, a new practitioner usually needs at least 3 months' training to work normally, while a mature broker needs at least 3 years. Hidden costs are not small. Therefore, for the provisions of the new labor contract law, he also feels that he has the side to protect the interests of enterprises. However, in his view, in the real estate brokerage industry, the extent to which the new law will be implemented depends not only on the willingness of the employing party, but also on the problem of the new law, especially the mature brokers.

"Everyone wants to win, but it's not easy to do that," he said. He said.

Unique salary

Ding Yuyang's "trial" for half a year was completed in four stores of the same company. Three of the stores have signed a probationary contract with him, which is one month, with the same target and 600 yuan per month. However, he did not seem to be very eager to "turn right".

It turned out that if Ding Yuyang "turned right", he would not even have the basic salary. This is probably the biggest difference between the real estate brokerage industry and other industries. He told reporters that when doing business training, the manager handed over to him, after the correction, the basic salary of 600 yuan / month will be canceled, and then according to the volume of business, the formal income of employees will be formed.

Hu Jinghui said that the origin of the "Regulations" is mainly due to the "reaching the standard" of the probation period, which generally proves that the training has achieved the effect. "Brokers" have the ability to work independently. From the current market situation, as long as the employees are working positively in a correct manner, the completion of the "leasing business" after the completion of the transaction is enough to ensure that the formal employees achieve "general" treatment, and once a second-hand housing transaction is completed, the Commission will reach a relatively high level.

It is precisely because of the existence of such a market that it makes the "no pay" for the employees become the prevailing regulations in the industry.

"In this case, it is not meaningful to sign a three year contract," the industry authority said. "Because the remuneration of employees is completely drawn from the transaction, the enterprise has no basic human resources cost. If the turnover of a formal employee is zero within one month, then the cost of labor is zero. Therefore, in such a case, signing a three year contract does not improve the infringement of the workers' interests in the industry, and most people (employees) do not value it." He said.

Reporters learned that this is not all the content. Under normal circumstances, for the formal staff, when the two sides sign employment contracts, they will set up corresponding work indicators assessment, and usually check by the month. Once the index fails to achieve the target in the time interval of assessment, the employer will have the right to terminate the contract and not compensate for the loss. Reporters learned from many sides that this provision fully complies with the provisions of the new labor contract law.

Because of this, it is not necessarily a good thing for employees like Ding Yuyang to turn around, because perhaps one month after the completion of the contract is the end of his work contract. At that time, he even had to pay 600 yuan / month of basic wages to "beat the chicken", so in his view, the new labor contract law did not help much.
