AI-Powered Labor Law Resolution Assistant

The Core Problem & Typical Scenarios

Workplace disputes—such as unjust dismissal, wage arrears, unpaid overtime, unilateral contract changes, or work-related injuries—often leave employees grappling with legal jargon and uncertain outcomes. Questions like “Does this constitute ‘illegal termination’?” “How much severance am I entitled to?” or “Where do I file for arbitration?” can be paralyzing. Missing critical deadlines (e.g., arbitration time limits, work injury application windows) or lacking proper evidence can severely undermine one’s position.

How the Skill Operates: Core Capabilities & Key Steps

This skill (prc-labor-law-resolution) is an interactive analysis framework dedicated to labor law within mainland China. It is not a substitute for a practicing lawyer but provides a clear, fact-based pathway for initial resolution. Its operational workflow is structured as follows:

1. Urgency Detection & Damage Control: By describing your situation (e.g., “My boss told me not to come in tomorrow”), the skill first assesses immediate risks, such as looming legal deadlines, evidence deletion (e.g., a company erasing attendance logs), or coercion into signing documents. It then outputs 2-3 highest-priority, immediate actions.

2. Structured Fact Verification: Through guided questioning, it helps you distinguish between confirmed facts, your assertions, unverified claims, and missing information. For instance, when calculating compensation, it will sequentially confirm “date of hire,” “average wage for the 12 months preceding departure,” and “reason and method of notification for termination,” rather than relying on ambiguous input.

3. Legal Basis Validation & Analysis: For each issue, it analyzes applicable legal rules, conditions for claims, and the burden of proof. For every legal point, it highlights favorable and unfavorable factors and specifies the conditions upon which the conclusion depends (e.g., whether facts meet the “serious misconduct” criteria under Article 39 of the Labor Contract Law). In complex cases like work injuries or labor dispatch, it examines responsibilities from multiple perspectives (dispatch company, user unit, worker).

4. Itemized Calculation & Solution Comparison: For monetary claims, the skill uses built-in modules (compensation, overtime, etc.) to compute severance (N/2N), unpaid wages, overtime pay, and unused annual leave. Calculations display premises, formulas, itemized breakdowns, and totals, noting which data points could alter the result. Finally, it presents at least three viable paths (e.g., negotiation, labor inspection complaint, arbitration), comparing the costs, risks, required materials, and timelines for each.

5. Delivery of Usable Documents: The final output includes a fact sheet, legal analysis, action checklist, and document templates (e.g., arbitration application, evidence directory, demand letter). These templates come with field-specific instructions. If the user is a company/HR acting as the respondent in a labor arbitration case, the skill switches to “Response Mode,” generating a full suite of response documents, including a defense matrix, cross-examination opinions, and a court hearing outline.

Applicable Boundaries & Important Caveats

• Geographical Scope: This skill applies exclusively to labor laws and regulations within mainland China and does not cover Hong Kong, Macau, Taiwan, or overseas employment issues.
• Issue-Type Boundaries: It primarily addresses disputes arising from labor relationships. It does not handle criminal matters, taxation (individual income tax), corporate equity disputes, immigration, or visa issues. For complex cases where labor issues intersect with other areas (e.g., traffic accident compensation), it will complete the labor law portion and explicitly guide you on where to seek further assistance.
• Nature of Output: The analysis, calculations, and draft documents provided are tools for decision support and initial processing. They do not constitute a formal legal opinion or guarantee the outcome of arbitration or litigation. For cases involving significant local or specific circumstances, it advises consulting a local practicing attorney.
• Information Protection: The skill requests only essential information and masks sensitive data such as national ID numbers, addresses, and phone numbers during processing.
