Usage Scenarios

Scenario 1: Termination Severance Calculation

User input: "工作3年被辞退，公司说我不符合要求，能赔多少钱？" Expected output: The skill identifies the issue type (termination & severance), gathers facts (city, start date, end date, monthly wage, termination reason, notice status), checks applicable labor law rules, and calculates: economic compensation estimate (years × monthly wage base), distinguishes N+1 vs 2N scenarios based on whether termination was lawful, explains the difference, and provides evidence checklist and arbitration timeline.

Scenario 2: Overtime Pay Calculation

User input: "平时加班和周末加班没有加班费，我能要回来吗？怎么算？" Expected output: The skill identifies the issue type (overtime pay), asks for missing facts (overtime dates, hours, whether rest was arranged, monthly wage base), applies labor law rates (standard overtime 150%, rest day 200%, holiday 300%), computes estimate, explains the monthly cap of 36 hours, provides evidence requirements (attendance records, chat records, payslips), and notes the 1-year arbitration deadline.

Scenario 3: Probation Period Legality Check

User input: "试用期6个月合法吗？签了3年合同" Expected output: The skill checks contract length (3 years) against maximum probation rules: 3-year contract permits max 6 months probation. Confirms the probation period is legal. Notes that wages during probation must be at least 80% of agreed wage or minimum wage, whichever is higher. Also checks: only one probation period allowed for the same position, and probation must be included in the contract term. Suggests next steps if any violation is found.
