After the merger of Debon, JD.COM promised to pay all employees five insurances and one gold
The founder and chairman of the board of directors of JD.COM Group issued an internal letter, proposing to improve the treatment of employees by means of salary reduction for senior executives. Especially for Debon, the internal letter mentioned the establishment of "housing security fund" and "children's relief fund" and the payment of five insurances and one gold for Debon couriers.
1. "Seek welfare for Debon employees"
He mentioned in his letter that the Group will set up a "housing security fund" for all the grassroots employees of Debon, including all Debon employees. "This is a revolving interest-free loan fund, which means that the accumulated investment of the Group will reach tens of billions of RMB in the next decade." He mentioned in his letter. The "Housing Scheme" launched by JD.COM has provided nearly 2 billion yuan in financial support.
It is noteworthy that in the express delivery industry, the number of couriers accounts for the vast majority. However, due to the characteristics of flexible employment in this industry, the payment of five insurances and one gold has always been controversial. He also said that although Debon's practice is legal and legal, and the proportion of five insurances and one gold paid far exceeds that of other similar companies, there are still many outsourced employees who cannot enjoy the full five insurances and one gold treatment like their own employees.
In view of this, he also mentioned in this internal letter that both outsourced and self-owned employees will gradually pay five insurances and one gold for hundreds of thousands of Debon employees, so as to ensure that every Debon employee can have a "sense of security and medical care".
seven central ministries and commissions have formulated the "working opinions on protecting the legitimate rights and interests of courier groups", which requires the implementation of the specific arrangements of the State Post Bureau on protecting the rights and interests of couriers, so as to effectively enhance the legitimate rights and interests of couriers. The above "Opinions" reiterated that couriers have the right to participate in social insurance and obtain social insurance benefits according to law, and further improved the insurance policy for industrial injury insurance that conforms to the characteristics of the express delivery industry.
In addition, he said that the scale of "Employee Children Relief Fund" will be greatly expanded, which will also include Debon employees. "Even if you work for JD.COM (including Debon, etc.) for a day, whether it is because of work-related injuries or non-work-related injuries, as long as there is a major misfortune that leads to the loss of working ability or life, your children will be raised by this fund for up to 22 years old until they graduate from college." He said in the letter. To this end, he stated that he would donate 1 million yuan, and the group and various BGBU would also come up with a certain proportion of cash.
in addition to the commitment made in employee welfare this time, Debon has begun to integrate into the JD.COM Department in terms of manpower and financial report performance after being merged into Jingdong Logistics. The financial report released by Jingdong Logistics shows that the third quarter performance report is the first consolidated statement after Jingdong Logistics acquired Debon Express, of which Debon contributed 5.82 billion yuan. In addition, Debon has also made several rounds of personnel adjustments. At present, the founder has resigned as the general manager, and at the same time, many Debon "veterans" have left, while the management of JD.COM Department has all entered.
2. The relationship between five insurances and one gold is stable in the industry
The problem of five insurances and one gold for couriers has always existed in the industry, which is mainly due to the fact that major courier companies usually expand their markets by joining the company, and employees are often not directly managed by the headquarters of the courier company, and each outlet decides to arrange personnel by itself and is responsible for its own profits and losses. Therefore, couriers are often outsourced, and outlets have no incentive to pay costs to protect employees' welfare, which has led to many disputes.
however, jingdong logistics and SF express are quite different. Express outlets are usually operated directly, and employees are mainly self-employed, and generally pay certain insurance to employees. At the listing ceremony of Jingdong Logistics last year, the CEO of Jingdong Logistics said that Jingdong Logistics had paid five insurances and one gold for the courier brother since its establishment.
However, the direct marketing mode has also brought great costs to enterprises. The operating cost of Jingdong Logistics reached 98.9 billion yuan, an increase of 47.4%, of which the salary and welfare expenses of employees in warehousing management, sorting, sorting, packaging, transportation, distribution and customer service increased by 37.3% to 35.8 billion yuan. Labor cost accounts for 48.4%, 44.8% and 41.% of operating expenses and total operating costs respectively, and will continue to drop to 36.2% in 221. Although the growth rate has declined, the total labor cost is still rising.
The situation of SF Express is the same, and the labor cost has even become one of the main reasons for SF Express's first quarterly loss. SF also mentioned in the financial report that in response to the call of the Spring Festival to celebrate the New Year in situ, the increase in the number of employees and subsidies led to an increase in labor costs.
in addition to five insurances and one gold, the delivery fee is the main income of the courier. Interface news was learned by several couriers. Compared with Tongda Department, Jingdong Logistics and Shunfeng have more requirements for couriers, and the delivery fee is also higher than that of Tongda Department couriers.
the guarantee of courier's salary and welfare is directly related to the stability of the industry. According to the "Investigation Report on the Present Situation and Job Satisfaction of Couriers at the Grass-roots Level in China" published by China Post Express, over 5% of couriers earn less than 5, yuan a month, and only 1.3% earn more than 1, yuan a month.
This data is different from the information rumored by the Internet that couriers earn tens of thousands of dollars a month. Many couriers said that in recent years, the salaries of couriers have gradually declined, the fines at outlets have increased, and the distribution fees have decreased, resulting in the final income being less than expected.
on the other hand, the domestic express delivery business volume is increasing year by year, and the express delivery business volume in China has reached 18.3 billion pieces, with an average daily express delivery volume of nearly 3 million pieces. However, the supply of terminal labor force has not increased significantly, which leads to the increase of terminal distribution pressure, and finally makes consumers' experience in the last mile decline, which is not unrelated to the welfare security problem and the decline of salary in this industry.
Previously, many couriers said that they had to choose to leave the courier industry and find another way out when the salary and welfare of the courier industry could not be guaranteed.
