# Labor Dispute Check

Check common China labor dispute issues and estimate employee rights. Use for 劳动纠纷, 被辞退赔偿, 违法解除, N+1, 2N, 加班费计算, 试用期规定, 未签劳动合同, 劳动仲裁, 经济补偿, severance, overtime pay, probation rules, and evidence preparation.

## Usage Scenarios

### Scenario 1: Termination Severance Calculation
**User input:** "工作3年被辞退，公司说我不符合要求，能赔多少钱？"
**Expected output:** The skill identifies the issue type (termination & severance), gathers facts (city, start date, end date, monthly wage, termination reason, notice status), checks applicable labor law rules, and calculates: economic compensation estimate (years × monthly wage base), distinguishes N+1 vs 2N scenarios based on whether termination was lawful, explains the difference, and provides evidence checklist and arbitration timeline.

### Scenario 2: Overtime Pay Calculation
**User input:** "平时加班和周末加班没有加班费，我能要回来吗？怎么算？"
**Expected output:** The skill identifies the issue type (overtime pay), asks for missing facts (overtime dates, hours, whether rest was arranged, monthly wage base), applies labor law rates (standard overtime 150%, rest day 200%, holiday 300%), computes estimate, explains the monthly cap of 36 hours, provides evidence requirements (attendance records, chat records, payslips), and notes the 1-year arbitration deadline.

### Scenario 3: Probation Period Legality Check
**User input:** "试用期6个月合法吗？签了3年合同"
**Expected output:** The skill checks contract length (3 years) against maximum probation rules: 3-year contract permits max 6 months probation. Confirms the probation period is legal. Notes that wages during probation must be at least 80% of agreed wage or minimum wage, whichever is higher. Also checks: only one probation period allowed for the same position, and probation must be included in the contract term. Suggests next steps if any violation is found.

## Overview

**⚠️ Important Disclaimer**: This tool provides informational assistance only. It does not constitute legal advice, nor does it guarantee any particular outcome. Always consult a qualified labor attorney or the local labor bureau for specific disputes.

## High-Intent Questions

Use this skill when the user asks:

## Limitations

- Based on general Chinese labor law principles

- Cannot assess case merits or predict outcomes
- Not a substitute for professional legal advice
- Calculations are estimates only

## Workflow

1. **Identify issue type** — Determine the labor concern
2. **Gather facts** — Collect relevant dates, amounts, terms
3. **Check rules** — Apply labor law provisions
4. **Calculate rights** — Compute entitlements if applicable
5. **Build evidence pack** — Turn available materials into a usable proof list
6. **Suggest options** — Recommend next steps

Read `references/evidence-pack.md` when the user asks "我要准备什么证据", "怎么仲裁", or "材料够不够".

## Fact Checklist

Ask only for missing facts that affect the estimate:

- City or province, because local implementation may vary
- Start date, end date, and contract term
- Monthly wage base and whether bonuses/allowances are included
- Termination reason and whether there was written notice
- Probation status and contract length
- Overtime dates, hours, and whether rest was arranged
- Evidence available: contract, payslips, attendance records, chat records, termination notice

## Evidence Pack Output

When facts are enough, provide:

1. `Claim type`: termination, overtime, unpaid wage, probation, contract, social insurance, or mixed.
2. `Core facts to prove`: employment relationship, wage base, dates, employer action, employee response.
3. `Evidence already mentioned`: classify as strong, medium, weak, or missing.
4. `Evidence to preserve now`: screenshots, exports, paper copies, originals, witness notes.
5. `Calculation table`: formula, assumptions, and missing variables.
6. `Arbitration package outline`: claims, facts, evidence list, timeline, and risk notes.

Do not tell the user to fabricate, alter, or secretly obtain unlawful evidence.

## Common Labor Issues

### 1. Termination & Severance

### 2. Overtime Pay
- **Standard overtime**: 150% of hourly rate
- **Rest day overtime**: 200% (or time off)

- **Monthly cap**: 36 hours maximum

### 3. Probation Period
- **3-month contract**: Max 1 month probation
- **1-year contract**: Max 2 months probation
