Use Alipay at Work

On July 25, 2003, Fu started working at an electronics company in Guangdong. Over more than a decade, he was promoted from a regular employee to the head of the green oil group.(green oil refers to the green soldering ink brushed on circuit boards to prevent physical breaks in the conductive circuits. This position has certain risks).

The company's "Employee Handbook" stipulates: "Severe disciplinary violations leading to termination of the labor contract... (10) Anyone who does not have permission to use a mobile phone during working hours is not allowed to use it: such as using a mobile phone to chat, send messages, listen to music, watch videos, play games, surf the internet, or listen to music, MP3, etc. in the restroom." Fu signed the "Receipt Form" to confirm his understanding of the relevant content.

At 4:30 a.m. on August 24, 2016, Fu used his mobile phone to log in to Alipay during working hours. The company terminated his labor relationship on the grounds of serious violation of rules and regulations.
