Public schools belong to institutions, and the signing of labor contracts between employees and institutions has its special provisions, which are not bound by the provisions of the Labor Contract Law. The school can unconditionally stipulate liquidated damages in the labor contract, but the amount should not be too high (654.38+00,000 yuan should be reasonable). It is illegal for the school not to deliver one of the contracts to you, but you must prove that the school adopts this practice, which is difficult for you to prove, so the validity of the contract should be no problem. Whether the Education Bureau has the right to detain files depends on how the labor contract between you is stipulated. If there is no clear agreement, the Education Bureau has no right to do so. If it is forcibly detained, it may apply for administrative reconsideration or bring an administrative lawsuit. Law Firm: Guangdong Duanqing Law Firm's reply time: 0 1- 16 23:38. Thank you for your answer. I don't have any agreement with the Education Bureau about files. Now I'm afraid that the Education Bureau won't agree to shift gears, even if I pay liquidated damages. I've heard of such a situation before. How to do administrative reconsideration or administrative litigation? 50f6b788b3678 Guangdong Zhaoqing 2013-01-17 20: 56: 21. Besides, if I leave without my file, how long will the Education Bureau keep my file? Did it flow into the talent market later? If so, how can I get my documents back? Thank you. 50f6b788b3678 Zhaoqing, Guangdong 2013-01-17 20: 58: 53
