Employer refused to approve earned project rewards: guiding case 182
Guiding case · appellate judgment reversing dismissal of claim
Reported facts
Peng Yuxiang’s team introduced qualifying projects under a reward scheme. The company refused rewards on incomplete approval grounds and refused to restart the process.
Published outcome
The appeal court awarded RMB 1,259,564.40. Unjustified refusal to perform approval obligations could not block rewards whose substantive conditions had been met.
Limits when comparing your own situation
This was not a ruling that any expected bonus is payable. The reward scheme, qualifying work, allocation and objections were assessed.
Questions to prepare for your own situation
- Which written criteria distinguish entitlement from approval procedure?
- What work, application and response records exist?
- What reason was given for stopping approval?
These preparation questions are our editorial guidance, not findings in the original case.
