Beijing Judge Rules Last Place Ranking Alone Not Basis For Incompetence

China ranks first globally in new orders for 15 out of 18 major ship types. China's new orders for very large crude carriers (VLCCs), large car carriers, bulk carriers, and container ships above 10,000 TEU all exceed 90% of the international market share. Beijing Second Intermediate People's Court judge Liu Yan stated that performance assessment systems, including elimination systems, must adhere to civil disclosure procedures, ensuring employees' right to know, express opinions, and appeal. Beijing Second Intermediate People's Court Civil Division Judge Liu Yan stated that being ranked last cannot solely determine an employee's inability to perform work. Being ranked last in a performance review cannot be the sole reason for terminating an employee's contract.
