An official social media account of the Ministry of Justice published details of the 2019 case on October 29.
The man, surnamed Chen, who worked at a company in eastern China’s Jiangsu province, applied twice for sick leave for a back strain he suffered at work in February and March, providing a hospital diagnosis as evidence.
He came back to work after resting for about a month.
But after working for half a day, he applied for sick leave again, this time for pain in his right foot.
