"Comrade Chen X, former director of the project, died in Beijing due to invalid medical treatment. In addition to the normal medical insurance reimbursement, there are still 1.5 million yuan in expenses that cannot be reimbursed and special fund-raising initiatives are issued to employees of various departments ..." Recently, a state-owned bank in Guangzhou The staff suffered a "donation". Although there is no explicit requirement that every employee must contribute to the death of the director, the employees are told that the reference standard for “donations” is: 500 yuan for ordinary employees, 1,000 yuan for officers, and 10,000 yuan for department managers.

"Donation" is accompanied by a standard

"1.5 million is not reimbursed, not debt is not enough, we must donate money, hey." After receiving the notice, employees Liu Xiaoyan (a pseudonym) is helpless. Chen Xx, who passed away, formerly worked for a Beijing branch of a state-owned bank and managed the technology. Although Liu Xiaoyan works in Guangzhou, he is also affiliated with the technical department of the head office. All employees in the technical department, including him, have received notifications of “must donate”.

According to the reporter’s proposal for donations to Comrade Chen × × provided by internal staff, Chen Xx worked for the bank’s “elderly people” for more than 30 years and was only 59 years old when he died. During the illness, he had undergone a liver transplant and he had to spend a lot of money. “In addition to the normal medical insurance reimbursement, there are still 1.5 million yuan in expenditure that cannot be reimbursed. Comrade Chen X XX has retired and the child has no official job yet, considering his family. In addition to providing appropriate subsidies in accordance with the relevant regulations, the special difficulties of the organization are given to the employees of the various departments of the Bank to raise donations and to provide comfort for the family members who have lost their loved ones."

It has been revealed that although the proposal issued by the union of the head office did not specify the details of the donation, it did not set a standard for donations internally but also announced the employees: 500 yuan for ordinary employees, 1,000 yuan for cadres, and 10,000 yuan for department heads. Liu Xiaoyan said that the unit has also sent donations to socially disadvantaged groups, but there has never been such a "mandatory, standardized" provision.

Seeing that the deadline for donations is approaching day by day, colleagues around us donate money according to the standard. “I heard that if I don’t donate money, I’ll be asked by the leaders to talk.” In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Liu Xiaoyan, who was shy in the bag, also donated money. It is understood that most of the employees have made donations in accordance with the standards set by the department, and only a few donated less than the standard.

Mandatory donations violate the "Contract Law"

Liu Xiaoyan and the director have never met. This time, he was "funded" and he felt that he was not in his heart. "It's not that we don't have love, but donations are already on a voluntary basis. How can we still set a standard and ask everyone how much money they will donate? Moreover, we have so many departments that donate according to this standard. There will be a large sum of money.” At the same time, Liu Xiaoyan also has doubts about the expression “family difficulties” in the proposal.

Subsequently, the reporter called the bank’s headquarters in Beijing and the general manager of the donation. The responsible person stated that the donation is voluntary and that the donation is decided by the individual, and there is no provision for amount. For some departments requiring employees to make mandatory contributions, she did not know. The reporter asked if the amount of donations raised may exceed the amount that cannot be reimbursed, the person in charge said that he is on a business trip and does not understand the specific amount of money received.

The reporter consulted Zhu Yongping, a lawyer of Guangdong Datong Law Firm, on this matter. He said that the act of compulsory donation actually violated the "Contract Law." "This verbal agreement has already constituted a kind of contract, but it was reached after coercion and did not follow the principle of equality." Zhu Yongping said that involving contracts, The competent authority is the Trade and Industry Bureau. Regardless of the type of employee, once they have such an experience, they can complain to their superior department or the bureau of industry and commerce.

Reporter's notes

For charity

Another kind of injury

In fact, many people have had the experience of being “donated” like this. Looking at the analysis of “forced donations” means that “donors are not out of their own sympathy for the weak, the victims, etc., but in the case of outside support or forced external forces.” Facing mandatory contributions, often Since people are in the organization and are involuntarily responsible, most people choose to “complete the task” to donate money.

"Giving up" should have been an initiative, which is exactly what "good" means. If it is forced by external forces, it cannot be called “donate”. Moreover, “donors” will have antagonism and rejection of “donate” and “good”, and are angry and indignant.

Forced donations are another kind of harm to charity.
