A netizen who was certified as "Chery employee" posted that Chery Automobile had forced overtime behavior inside. The weekly overtime hours should be more than 20 hours and there was no overtime pay. Only 10 yuan of meal allowance was provided. In addition, employees' overtime compensatory leave time is strictly limited. Some departments are prohibited from applying for compensatory leave and asking for leave. The last position will be eliminated according to the length of overtime.
What makes Chery employees more difficult to accept is that, in order to cover up the fact of overtime, the history of employees' clock in has been closed, and the default display time is 8:30 to 17:00. This has also become the fuse of employee dissatisfaction.
An employee working at the headquarters of Chery Automobile in Wuhu confirmed to InterfaceNews that the internal clock in system was modified last week. In the department where the employee works, the monthly working hours are at least 1.4 times of the time signed on the labor contract.
"The working hours are '896'. It is compulsory to work overtime on Saturdays, and the rest on Sundays is not guaranteed. Even if the work is finished, you are not allowed to leave work, and you must stay at the work station to roll up the overtime hours."
"896" refers to working at 8 a.m. and 9 p.m., six days a week. Previously, Ningde Times, a giant in the power battery industry, called on employees to "strive for 100 days", and implemented "896" working days internally.

"Sometimes, in order to avoid the risk of overtime work, the company also arranges meetings after 6:00 p.m., or even at 10:00 p.m. Department level meetings are held on Saturdays."
A new student who joined Chery Automobile in 2023 pointed out to the interface news that Chery Automobile has a high brain drain rate, with 70% of the new students leaving in less than one year, and the rest are only prepared to save two years of work experience before changing jobs.
According to his statistics, a total of 120 hours of overtime work in May, plus 174 hours of normal work, totaled nearly 300 hours of work. But the salary he received was only about 4800 yuan, and the hourly salary was only 16 yuan.
In March last year, Gao Xinhua, president of Chery Automotive Engineering and Technology Research Institute, issued an internal email saying, "All employees should be notified to focus on the strivers, and Saturday is the working day of the strivers.
Chery's official recruitment website claims that the company is like a university campus, valuing partnership, and has no concept of superior and subordinate. But according to Tianyan, nearly 10% of the hundreds of legal litigation information of Chery Automobile Co., Ltd. are labor disputes and labor contract disputes.
Chery Automobile, in the transition period of new energy, is eager to catch up with its peers. In 2023, Chery will sell 1.88 million vehicles, the highest annual sales in history, but New energy vehicles The wholesale sales volume is only 128000, accounting for less than 10%.

Considering that the current IPO review is further tightened and there is a high probability that it will not be relaxed next year, it is still unknown whether Chery Automobile can complete the listing as scheduled.
However, in any case, the formation of large-scale sales of new energy vehicles is a key step for Chery to go public.
