Chinese workers fined if they walk fewer than 180,000 steps a month! Employees at an unnamed real estate firm in the southern city of Guangzhou in China have been fined 0.01 yuan for every step missed from their monthly target, according to Information Times.
Employees are penalized if they do not reach the 6,000 steps-a-day mark. However, representative from a local law firm Liu Fengmao said that the company has no legal grounds for tracking staff members' steps as a measure of performance, reported BBC.
Liu said that staff could potentially claim that walking outside of the office constitutes as overtime, or that a walking injury was a workplace incident.
