员工拒绝“干3人活儿”被开除，法院判了！

Core Viewpoint - The court ruled that the company unlawfully terminated the employment relationship with the employee, ordering the company to pay 120,000 yuan in compensation due to the employee's excessive workload and refusal to take on additional responsibilities [1][3][4]. Group 1: Case Background - The employee, Ms. Gao, had been working at the company for over two years and was responsible for order entry for offline retail and some major clients [1]. - Following personnel adjustments, Ms. Gao's workload increased significantly, with the number of sales personnel she needed to coordinate rising from 18 to 52 [1]. - After another colleague's departure, the company requested Ms. Gao to take over the e-commerce order responsibilities, which she felt was unmanageable given her current workload [1][2]. Group 2: Legal Proceedings - The company claimed that Ms. Gao's refusal to take on the additional work constituted a serious violation of company policy, leading to her dismissal without compensation [2]. - The court found that Ms. Gao was already handling a full workload and her refusal to take on more work was justified, thus not qualifying as a "refusal of normal work handover" [2][3]. - The court emphasized that unilateral termination of the employment contract is a severe measure and should only be applied when the employee's actions are significantly serious [3][4]. Group 3: Court's Ruling - The court determined that the company's actions lacked legality and reasonableness, as Ms. Gao had already taken on additional responsibilities prior to her dismissal [3]. - The ruling reinforced that employees have the right to refuse additional work based on genuine workload concerns, and companies cannot simply terminate employment based on such refusals [4].
