Can the company not pay employees? Is there any legal guarantee?

Hello, it is certainly impossible for the company to refuse to pay its employees without proper reasons. Employees can negotiate and urge the company to pay them in time. If the company refuses to pay them, employees can complain to the local human resources and social security bureau. If you are dissatisfied with the result of the complaint, you can apply for labor arbitration according to law. If you are dissatisfied with the arbitration results, you can also sue for rights protection according to law.

Relevant legal basis:

Labor law of the people's Republic of China
