Whether it is legal for the company to arrange employees to wait for posts depends on the specific situation:
1. If the company is operating normally, it is illegal for employees not to agree to wait for their posts;
2. If the company has difficulties in operation, it is legal to wait for employees temporarily;
3. The company subsidizes employees to participate in training. During the training period, employees can't participate in normal work, and it is legal to stay at work at this time.
If the employer fails to arrange the work, the laborer has the right to ask the company to fulfill its contractual obligations. If it fails to do so within the time limit, it may apply for labor arbitration.
Legal basis of company waiting policy:
1, "Labor Contract Law" stipulates that: workers complete labor tasks within the labor contract period;
2. "Regulations on the Implementation of the Labor Contract Law": it clarifies the conditions for workers to temporarily adjust their jobs due to work needs;
3. "Labor Law" stipulates that the employer shall pay labor remuneration to the laborer in accordance with the labor contract;
4. Local regulations: Some areas may have specific policies on waiting for posts;
5. Internal rules and regulations of the enterprise: The enterprise shall formulate and publish the internal management system according to law, including the relevant provisions on waiting for posts.
To sum up, the legality of the company's arrangement for waiting for posts needs to be judged according to specific circumstances. If the company is operating normally, it is illegal for employees not to agree to wait for their posts. However, it is legal to wait for a post if the company has difficulties in operation or employees cannot participate in normal work after attending training. If the employer fails to arrange a job, the employee has the right to ask the company to fulfill its contractual obligations, otherwise it may apply for labor arbitration.
