Me! A disgraced celebrity! Starting by seeking justice for impoverished students.

"We have objections to the authenticity of the chat logs and transaction records."

Zheng Kun spoke seriously.

"Wang Gui, the person making the transfer, is a foreman in the work team, not a company finance staff member. His personal transfer behavior cannot represent the company's wage payment standards, and the chat records do not have the validity of company authorization."

"In addition, we also have objections to the authenticity and legality of the witness testimonies."

"The witnesses are all colleagues of the applicant and have a direct interest in the matter. Their testimonies are biased and lack objective probative value."

The examination was thorough and meticulous; what could be acknowledged was acknowledged, and what could not be acknowledged was directly denied at its root!

That's his professionalism!

For each set of evidence, there is a logic to refute it.

Pei Zhenbang sat beside him, his expression softening slightly, and nodded gently.

As expected of the general counsel I hired at great expense, his competence is beyond doubt!

Jiang Chen remained expressionless and immediately picked up the second set of materials.

"The applicant presented a second set of evidence, consisting of three documents, proving the fact that wages were owed."

The chief arbitrator nodded, and Jiang Chen continued.

"Firstly, the working hours statistics sheets and corresponding wage calculation details for the twelve applicants."

"Secondly, there is a recording of a notification posted by the project manager in the workers' group chat stating that 'due to financial difficulties, wages will be temporarily suspended.'"

"Thirdly, a verification table of the duration and amount of unpaid wages, jointly signed and confirmed by the twelve applicants."

"The purpose of this evidence is to prove that the respondent has unjustifiably withheld wages from twelve applicants, for periods ranging from three months to six months, with a total unpaid amount of RMB 586,000. The facts are clear and the amount is definite."

"The respondent's decision to postpone payment citing financial difficulties constitutes an admission of unpaid wages, which is an act of malicious withholding of labor remuneration!"

The presentation of this evidence immediately caused a low commotion in the gallery.

The workers straightened their backs; these were all real things, and there was no way to deny them!

Zheng Kun's brows furrowed almost imperceptibly.

But he quickly regained his composure and began to question the witness.

"The respondent provides his/her comments on the second set of evidence."

"We have objections to the authenticity, legality, and relevance of the work hour statistics sheets and payroll details!"

In one sentence, he directly questioned everything!

"The material was prepared unilaterally by the applicant, without the official seal or project seal of the respondent, and without the signature of the person in charge, and therefore has no evidentiary value."

"There are objections to both the authenticity and legality of the recording."

"The identities of the people speaking in this recording cannot be verified, and it was recorded without the consent of the other party. Therefore, the method of acquisition is illegal and it cannot be used as evidence!"

Zheng Kun's offensive went straight to the heart of the matter from the very beginning.

"Furthermore, there are objections to the authenticity of the wage arrears verification form."

"This form was jointly issued by twelve applicants and consists of self-statements and mutual corroboration. Essentially, it represents the statements of the parties involved and cannot be used as the sole basis for determining wage arrears!"

"Furthermore, according to the employment contract, wages are settled annually, and the settlement deadline has not yet arrived, so there is no malicious delay in payment!"

With just a few words, the effectiveness of the second set of evidence was largely negated.

Pei Zhenbang's lips curled into a barely perceptible smug smile.

This proves the saying: professional matters should be handled by professionals!

Lin Xiaoyu sat beside him, her hands clenched slightly, looking at Jiang Chen with some worry.

Jiang Chen remained expressionless as he picked up the third set of evidence.

"The applicant presents a third set of evidence, evidence of the work-related injury, totaling five documents!"

Lin Xiaoyu's gaze fell on her father again.

All of this evidence comes from him.

"Firstly, the applicant Lin Jianguo's inpatient medical records, diagnosis certificate, discharge summary, and all medical expense receipts."

"Secondly, the written testimonies and identification information of the two coworkers who were present at the scene of the incident."

"Thirdly, three photos taken on the day of the accident show that the safety netting at the work site was missing and no warning signs were set up at the edge."

Fourth, the payment records and signed receipts of the project team members when they were sent to the hospital.

Fifth, the testimonies of three workers in the same position confirm that safety ropes were not uniformly distributed at the construction site, nor were their wearing mandatory, indicating a lack of daily safety management!

Numerous pieces of evidence all relate to the key points.

Pei Zhenbang's smug smile faded slightly.

The purpose of this proof is as follows!

"First, Lin Jianguo was injured in the course of his work hours and at his workplace while performing construction tasks, which fully meets the legal requirements for work-related injury recognition."

"Secondly, the direct cause of the accident was the lack of safety facilities and inadequate safety management at the construction site, not Lin Jianguo's own violation of regulations!"

"Third, after the accident, it was the respondent's project staff who took Lin Jianguo to the hospital, and the respondent was fully aware of the work-related injury."

This set of evidence is the most solid.

Medical records and payment records are official documents, and there is no room for denial.

People in the gallery leaned forward, eager to hear what the other side had to say in their defense.

Zheng Kun flipped through the evidence book in front of him, paused for two seconds, and then began to question the evidence.

"The respondent provides his/her comments on the third set of evidence."

"We have no objection to the authenticity and legality of the medical records, diagnostic certificates, and medical expense receipts, but we object to their relevance and purpose of proof."

"This evidence only proves that Lin Jianguo was injured and sought medical treatment, but it cannot prove the specific cause of the injury, and therefore cannot be directly equated with a work-related injury!"

He found an even more tricky angle.

"In addition, there are doubts about the authenticity of the coworkers' testimonies!"

"The witness and Lin Jianguo are colleagues and fellow townsmen, and there is a conflict of interest between them. The testimony is biased towards the applicant and lacks objectivity."

"We have objections to the authenticity, legality, and relevance of the on-site photos."

"The photos cannot be verified for the time and location of being taken, cannot prove that they were taken at the work site on the day of the accident, nor can they prove that the respondent's safety facilities were lacking!"

"We have no objection to the authenticity of the medical payment records, but we object to their purpose as evidence!"

"The company's arrangement for medical treatment and advance payment of some expenses out of humanitarian considerations is a matter of corporate social responsibility, but it does not imply an endorsement of liability for work-related injuries!"

"Finally... Lin Jianguo, as a skilled worker, failed to wear a safety harness according to safety operating procedures and engaged in reckless and dangerous work, thus bearing significant fault himself. He should bear the corresponding consequences and his injury should not be considered a work-related injury!"

This examination followed the same old methods.

Acknowledge the facts, but not the conclusions!

I won't take on any responsibility that I can shirk!

Jiang Chen remained expressionless and continued to present the fourth set of evidence.

"The applicant presented the fourth set of evidence: a social security payment inquiry record from the Xucheng District Social Insurance Service Center."

"The purpose of this evidence is to prove that the respondent failed to pay work injury insurance or other statutory social insurance for the twelve applicants in accordance with the law."

According to Article 62 of the Regulations on Work-Related Injury Insurance, if an employer fails to participate in work-related injury insurance when it should, all work-related injury insurance benefits and expenses shall be borne by the employer itself when an employee suffers a work-related injury.

This is an official record; it cannot be faked.

Zheng Kun didn't dwell on the authenticity issue, but instead changed his perspective.

"The respondent has no objection to the authenticity and legality of the fourth set of evidence, but objects to its relevance and purpose of proof!"

"The collection of social insurance contributions falls under the regulatory responsibilities of the social security administrative department and is not within the scope of labor arbitration. This case should not be handled!"

"Furthermore, the company has already included the social security subsidies in the workers' wages. Since the workers voluntarily waived their social security contributions, they should bear the corresponding consequences themselves!"
