If you want to analyze the deep-seated reasons, it is actually very simple. It can be measured by public interest or selfishness. Self-interest is too heavy, and people who have the right to distribute wealth will try their best to let a few people take the big part, and most people will naturally take less or even get nothing ... If a few people just want to ensure their own self-interest, then when the enterprise makes a small profit, loses money, or is divorced from reality and blindly invests to expand self-interest, it will make a fuss about the salary of employees.
For some factory owners, the "convenience" of working capital and interest is considerable, especially when the salary reaches millions or tens of millions. In reality, some enterprises that go bankrupt because of unpaid wages or bosses who escape because of unpaid wages are profligate and spend money like water, but they are extremely "stingy" in paying employees' wages and have no "generous" appearance; Some are speculative, taking corporate funds to speculate in stocks and futures or participating in illegal fund-raising with high returns, resulting in huge losses, and some blindly invest to expand production and finally lose business. Once the capital chain breaks, the arrears of wages will never be paid off.
Wage distribution is related to the personal, family and social stability of enterprise employees, and enlarging to the country is the guarantee of social livelihood. Happiness or sense of gain, under the premise that labor is still an important means of making a living, salary is a crucial embodiment, which is related to survival and development. Not only can we not default on wages, but we should also increase them moderately. Morally speaking, the boss's character is unqualified for enterprises that default on wages for no reason. It is probably impossible to expect such enterprises to provide good services and products for society and people. From a legal point of view, this is illegal and even criminal. There are many reasons for the phenomenon of unpaid wages: first, some private enterprise bosses are indifferent to social responsibility, indifferent to the rule of law, selfish and low in morality; First, the illegal cost of unpaid wages is low. Even if it is in arrears, employees will delay from responding to problems to the involvement of functional departments. If they can't, they may be fine. Integrity punishment is not enough, and it can't hurt these unpaid laolai people at all. Furthermore, the crime of "refusing to pay labor remuneration" in China is based on the premise of refusing to carry out the wage payment instructions of the labor administrative department, rather than being convicted directly if the illegal unpaid wages reach a certain amount or circumstances.
However, the state attaches great importance to dealing with arrears and ensuring support, which is a commitment to safeguarding people's livelihood. Now the governance of unpaid wages has been incorporated into the government accountability assessment system.
