According to the report of the Workers' Daily on April 1, Fujian has made great efforts to build a digital arbitration tribunal in recent years. Up to now, 8 provincial standardized arbitration tribunals have been established. Recently, the local standard of Fujian Province of the Code for the Digital Construction of the Arbitration Tribunal was issued. This specification covers systems such as one click start, cloud based hearing, voice transcription, online live broadcast, etc., and will be implemented from June 6, 2024 to provide guidance and norms for the construction of digital arbitration courts, promote the standardization, standardization and professionalization of digital arbitration courts, focus on providing better rights protection services for parties, and provide a more optimized legal business environment for the society.

Whether it is an arbitration hearing or a court hearing, it should be conducted in accordance with the legal procedures. Pre court verification, cross examination in court, debate, and court hearing records should not be omitted. At present, most arbitration tribunals and court tribunals in China still focus on offline trials, and many links and procedures are carried out by manpower. Some of these links can rely on technical means to liberate manpower, reduce time and improve efficiency. For example, court transcripts can also reduce the probability of human error. Although courts around the country have set up trial management organizations to standardize and standardize trials, the phenomenon of excessive time and energy consumption has not fundamentally changed.

In addition, the high time cost and other costs have become "obstacles" in the way of safeguarding the rights of many employees. For example, some employees gave up their rights protection because of the difficulty of asking for leave and fear of trouble; Some employees dare not go to court because of poor language expression ability and dialect constraints; Some employees are worried that the court hearing is not transparent enough to achieve the desired effect of rights protection.

The construction and application of the digital arbitration tribunal has opened the channel for the convenience of the trial, and provided a better platform for ensuring the transparency and fairness of the trial. For example, through the "one button start" system, the pre-trial preparation can be completed accurately in a short time, which not only saves time and labor, but also reduces the burden of related verification work; On the one hand, the "cloud court" system can build a smooth court environment, on the other hand, it can achieve complete and traceable court records and reduce unnecessary disputes; Real time voice transcription in court hearing through the "voice transcription" system is conducive to reducing the possibility of incomplete and inaccurate records in the high-intensity hearing environment.

It is particularly commendable that the digital arbitration tribunal can let people know the trial process through the "online live broadcast" system. Previously, some people who wanted to attend the offline trial could not participate because of the site restrictions. "Online live broadcast" can allow more people to participate in the trial, which not only increases the transparency of the trial, but also is expected to promote the fairness of the trial.

The use of the digital arbitration tribunal has made the protection of employees' rights no longer troubled by time and space, and no longer worried about language barriers. It has also alleviated concerns about "black box operations", provided more convenient and intimate security for the protection of employees' rights, and made the protection of employees' rights more confident. It is expected that the digital arbitration tribunal and the digital trial tribunal will continue to improve through practice and move towards standardization, normalization and specialization, help the efficiency of labor arbitration and judicial adjudication, and the efficiency of employee rights protection, so that the concept of "striving to make the people feel fair and just in every judicial case" will be "within reach" Become more perceptible in the process of safeguarding rights.
