A man recently received a 40,000 Yuan settlement after he was hired for a job and the company went under before he could start.

Mr. Zhang originally worked at a media company, but saw a recruitment add for YouYou Corporation online and sent in his resume to apply. Zhang interviewed at YouYou Corporation and the company hired him, giving him a letter of employment and receipt of hire.

The letter of employment stated that the company would hire Zhang as a content editor to begin work on June 29, 2015. Then, YouYou Corporation wrote that it would sign a three year contract with Zhang after a three month probation period.

Zhang left his former position on June 17, 2015. The next day, Zhang went to report to YouYou Corporation, but was told that the company was about to begin layoffs and was going out of business. However, Zhang had signed a contract with YouYou and was now out of a job. The two sides started a dispute. 

Zhang believed that YouYou was practicing bad business. The company had been in trouble but was still recruiting. This practice led to Zhang’s sudden unemployment. On July 2, Zhang took YouYou to court to seek compensation. He asked for three months of his promise salary, totaling 84,000 Yuan.

YouYou argued that the sudden resignation of a number of employees had led to the break-up of the company. Now, the company is defunct and its representation does not agree that Zhang should be paid.

On March 24, 2016 the two sides were able to reach a settlement while supervised by a judge. YouYou agreed to compensate Zhang about 40,000 Yuan.
